高跟鞋能否带来健康

（单词翻译）

Just like snails¹ and porridge, fashion advisor² at the TUC conference makes an uncomfortable combination（排列，组合）. But nestled somewhere between redundancy pay and spending cuts came stilettos, and the damage high heels cause to women's health.
The blisters³, the hard skin, the bunions, the knee problems, the hip⁴ problems and, of course, the lower back pain that is really very debilitating（虚弱的）. Union leaders claimed some women including shop assistants and air stewardesses⁵ are required to wear high heels while men have no such dress code. There were calls for women to be allowed to wear sensible（明智的合理的） shoes in the workplace.
It's fine here, they say, or here, perhaps you need to be a bit more careful here. But women love their heels. They add glamour⁶, height and style. Even super models doing community service at a sanitation⁷ department insist on them. And at conference today, few heeded⁸ the warnings.
I think it’s up to women's choice but I am totally against dress code and so on.
It can be quite pretty on some people, and quite ugly on others, you know, it's just a matter of choice really.
I think you can't force women to wear things that's gonna harm their health.
Whatever people say, it's a health and safety issue, you get blisters and get all sorts of feet conditions from that. We can’t pretend, because it sounds like a funny issue, that it's not a health and safety issue.
They are extremely painful, I can vouch⁹ for that.
They are called killer¹⁰ heels. What could sound more dangerous, perhaps coming between a woman and her shoes? S. R., ITV News.
