One piece
连体泳衣
This tight, form-fitting swimsuit style was born in the 1900s when women grew tired of the heavy wool dresses they’d been wearing to cover their bodies in public baths. The one-piece swimsuit, in revealing the arms and knees, allowed levels of public skin exposure unheard of since Roman times. When Australian actress and swimmer Annette Kellerman sported a one-piece in Boston in 1907, the police arrested her for *indecency.
这种紧身合体的泳衣诞生于二十世纪初。那时,妇女们已厌倦了在公共澡堂裹着厚重的羊毛长裙来遮盖身体。连体泳衣让手臂和膝盖都裸露在外面,这种在公共场合的暴露尺度自罗马时代之后,便闻所未闻。1907年,澳大利亚演员兼游泳运动员安妮特•凯勒曼在波士顿惹人注目地身穿连体泳衣时,警方以不雅罪为由将其逮捕。
However, this didn’t stop the rise of the one-piece. It became the norm for women over the next 20 years and is still very much in fashion today.
然而,这却并没能阻止连体泳衣的流行。在接下来的20年间,连体泳衣已成为女性的标准着装,如今也依然很流行。
