《中英對照讀新聞》1-2pm: have breast enlargement 下午一到兩點：來隆乳

◎鄭寺音

A cosmetic surgery clinic has been criticised by doctors for offering “lunchtime” breast enlargements. Women can have the hour-long procedure while under local anaesthetic and walk out within four hours of arrival. Doctors question the safety of lunchtime surgery.

一間整形診所因為提供「午餐時間」隆乳手術，遭到醫師批評。女性可以接受局部麻醉，進行一小時的手術，並在抵達四小時後離開診所。醫師質疑午餐時間手術的安全性。

A student who was told by a surgeon at the clinic that she looked as though she had breastfed two children was one of the first patients to undergo the quick-fix operation. It was bought as a 21st- birthday present by her mother, who said that her daughter had saggy breasts.

被這家診所一名外科醫師說她（的胸部）看起來好像哺育過兩個小孩的一名學生，是首批接受這種速成整形手術的患者之一。手術費用由她媽媽支付，作為她的二十一歲生日禮物。她媽媽說，她女兒的胸部下垂。

Breast enlargement surgery normally entails a stay of at least one night in hospital, in case of complications.

接受隆乳手術，通常需要待在醫院至少一個晚上，以防併發症。

The president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said that breast surgery was being marketed by some clinics as like buying an iPod.

英國美容整形外科協會會長表示，胸部手術被一些診所像購買iPod一樣銷售。
