Watch for body modifications to rise in popularity.

调整身体参数会变得流行。

When I think about Chinese foot binding — which resulted in women's feet being around three inches in size — it seems like such a profound body modification.

当我想到中国的缠足——这导致女性的脚大约有三英寸大——这似乎是一种意义重大的身体改造。

What's interesting about, I guess the kind of anthropology of body modification in a kind of gendered sense, is that often it is done in the context of fertility and childbirth, either to indicate status for marriage.

有趣的是，在人类学中，从性别的角度来看，关于身体的改造要么是为了繁殖和生育，要么是为了证明婚姻中的地位。

Tattooed mummies from around the world attest to the universality of body modification across the millennia, and to the fact that you really were stuck with it forever if your civilization never got around to inventing laser removal.

世界各地发现的有纹身的木乃伊证明了数千年来纹身现象的普遍性，这也使人们认识到，如果你所处的文明尚未发明激光移除术，纹身会一直留在你身上。
