今夏游泳必備時(shí)尚泳衣

 

Bikini
比基尼

The bikini came as a *bombshell in 1946. It was devised by French fashion designer Louis Reard, who named the creation after the Pacific Ocean *atoll, where the American government *detonated the first postwar nuclear bomb.
1946年，比基尼引起了轟動，它是由法國時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)師Louis Reard設(shè)計(jì)的。Louis Reard以太平洋的一個(gè)環(huán)狀珊瑚島為自己設(shè)計(jì)的這款泳衣命名，美國政府曾在該島引爆了戰(zhàn)后的第一枚原子彈。

The skimpy, two-piece swimsuit is an aftereffect of fabric rationing during World War II, when the American government directed that the cloth used in women’s beachwear should be reduced by 10 percent to *conserve fabric.
這種小而暴露的分體式泳衣是二戰(zhàn)期間紡織品定量供應(yīng)的產(chǎn)物。當(dāng)時(shí)，美國政府為節(jié)省紡織品，規(guī)定用于生產(chǎn)女士海灘裝的布料需減少10%。

Claimed as the world’s smallest bathing suit on its launch, the bikini was initially banned in conservative Catholic countries. It didn’t rise in popularity until the 1950s, when screen icons, including French movie star Brigitte Bardot, were photographed in them.
比基尼剛剛面世時(shí)，號稱是世界上最小的泳裝，最初在保守的天主教國家遭禁。直到二十世紀(jì)五十年代，當(dāng)包括法國電影明星碧姬•巴杜等在內(nèi)的銀幕明星們身穿比基尼拍攝影片時(shí)，比基尼才開始流行。
