Shops, brands, and magazines商店、品牌和雜誌 use it as把它當成 a size range一個尺碼區間, the way they say就像他們說 petite or tall「petite(嬌小)」或「tall(高個)」一樣。 You will hear你會聽到 plus-size clothing大尺碼服飾、 a plus-size model大尺碼模特兒、 a plus-size section大尺碼專區。
It is trying to sound matter-of-fact, even kind, rather than like an insult; though actually, not everyone likes the label, because it still marks a body as extra, as after the normal sizes. Younger people and fashion writing use it a lot in English. It is not a medical term and not a precise number: where "average" ends and "plus" begins changes by country, brand, and year.
It is trying to sound它想聽起來 matter-of-fact就事論事, even kind甚至體貼, rather than like an insult而不是像羞辱; though actually不過其實, not everyone likes the label不是每個人都喜歡這個標籤, because因為 it still marks a body as它還是把一個身體標成 extra額外的、 as after the normal sizes排在正常尺寸後面的。 Younger people and fashion writing年輕人和時尚文章 in English在英文裡 use it a lot很常用它。 It is not它不是 a medical term醫學名詞, and not a precise number也不是一個精確的數字: where "average" ends and "plus" begins「一般」到哪裡結束、「加大」從哪裡開始, by country, brand, and year隨國家、品牌和年份 changes而不同。
組成plus (extra; more than the usual range) + size (how big the clothes are).
