近日，一组“当代老师与学生谈话现状”的图片引发热议，看到老师与学生的“最萌身高差”，网友纷纷表示：现在的学生长得也太高了！

A report in the medical journal Lancet says Chinese people have been gaining in height in the past 30 years. The report says the average height of 19-year-old Chinese males is 175.7cm; the average height of Chinese females is 163.5cm.

医学杂志《柳叶刀》上的一篇报道说，中国人在过去30年里身高一直在增加。报告称，19岁中国男性的平均身高为175.7厘米; 中国女性的平均身高为163.5厘米。

This is true. I’ve seen more 6_ft 2 in Chinese men than I’ve seen 5_ft 8_in_Chinese men, in terms of the younger generation. The average height for males and females aged between 18 and 44 increased by 1.2 cm and 0.8 cm respectively, compared with the numbers of five years earlier. The average height for boys and girls aged between 6 and 17 increased by 1.6 cm and 1 cm respectively over the period.

这是真的。就年轻一代而言，我在中国男性中看到的6英尺2比在中国男性中看到的5英尺8要多。与五年前相比，18至44岁男性和女性的平均身高分别增加了1.2厘米和0.8厘米。在此期间，6至17岁男孩和女孩的平均身高分别增加了1.6厘米和1厘米。

This change reflects how this increase in height represents far more than a physical development. Rather, it serves as a symbol of how quickly China’s economy has grown and quality of life has improved in just a few decades. China’s economy became better and the average Chinese person’s income rose. It is increasingly improving nutrition standards. The rates of anaemia(贫血) and growth problems among children aged between 6 and 24 months in the areas being monitored decreased.

这一变化反映了身高的增加所代表的远不止是身体发育。相反，它象征着中国经济在短短几十年内增长的速度和生活质量的提高。中国的经济变得更好，中国人的平均收入也增加了。它正日益提高营养标准。被监测地区6至24个月儿童的贫血和生长问题发生率下降。

China launched a nutrition improvement plan for students receiving compulsory education in rural areas. According to statistics from China Development Research Foundation, by the end of 2020, 1,732 counties from 28 provinces have taken part in the program, covering about 131,600 schools and 37.98 million students.

中国启动了农村义务教育学生营养改善计划。根据中国发展研究基金会的统计，截至2020年底，来自28个省的1,732个县参加了该计划，覆盖了约131,600所学校和3798万名学生。

Rural students perform better in the long jump, 800 meters and 1,000 meters than the urban students, thanks to continued poverty alleviation(扶贫) efforts and increased investment in teaching, sports venues and facilities in rural areas.

800米年和1,000米年，由于持续的扶贫工作以及对农村地区教学、体育场馆和设施的投资增加，农村学生的跳远表现优于城市学生。
