CONDOMS MADE IN CHINA ARE 'TOO SMALL,' AFRICAN HEALTH MINISTER COMPLAINS
津巴布韦卫生部长抱怨中国制造的安全套尺寸太小

A Chinese condom company is considering manufacturing different sized condoms after an African health minister complained that China's products were “too small” for Zimbabwean men.
据美国《新闻周刊》网站3月1日的消息：在非洲一位卫生部长抱怨中国的安全套尺寸对津巴布韦男性“太小”后，中国一家安全套生产公司正考虑生产不同尺寸的安全套。

During an HIV/AIDS prevention event in Harare last week, David Parirenyatwa, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Health, said that a popular condom among youth is imported from China, but men often complain about the products being too small, according to local news.
据当地媒体报道，津巴布韦卫生部长大卫·帕瑞仁雅特瓦（David Parirenyatwa）上周在哈拉雷一场艾滋病预防活动中表示，深受年轻人欢迎的某款安全套是从中国进口的，但男性们经常抱怨这些产品尺寸太小。

“The southern African region has the highest incidence of HIV and we are promoting the use of condoms,” Parienyatwa said. “Youths now have a particular condom that they like, but we don’t manufacture them. We import condoms from China and some men complain they are too small.”
“非洲南部地区的艾滋病发病率最高，我们正提倡使用安全套，”帕瑞仁雅特瓦说。“年轻人现在有他们喜欢的某款特定的安全套，而我们没有生产，都是从中国进口，但有些男士抱怨这款安全套的尺寸太小。”

He then called on local firms to start producing condoms so the country can stop relying on unsatisfactory imports.
他随后呼吁当地企业开始生产安全套，如此以来津巴布韦就可停止对不能令人满意的进口产品的依赖。

Following the incident, Zhao Chuan, the chief executive of Beijing Daxiang and His Friends Technology Co., a Chinese condom manufacturer, told the South China Morning Post that his company is now planning on releasing contraception in various sizes and textures.
在此次事件发生后，中国安全套制造商北京大象和他的朋友们科技有限公司首席执行官赵川向《南华早报》表示，他的公司现正打算生产不同尺寸和不同材质的安全套。

“As to the different demands from customers such as in Zimbabwe, Daxiang, as a Chinese manufacturer, has the ability and the obligation to make a contribution, so we have started to do some surveys on users’ data in the region to make preparations for future products with different sizes,” Zhao announced in an email.
首席执行官赵川在一封电子邮件中宣称：“针对诸如津巴布韦等客户的不同需求，大象作为一家中国制造商，有能力和义务去尽一份力，所以我们已开始在该地区做了一些关于用户数据的调研，为日后生产不同尺寸的产品做准备。”

Zhao went on to comment on the different requirements of global customers, claiming that Chinese men like condoms to be thinner while people in North America prefer a softer feel.
赵川继续就全球消费者的不同需求发表了个人看法。他认为，中国男人喜欢更薄的安全套，而北美地区的人们偏爱更柔软的感觉。

Condoms are a universally popular type of contraception with an effectiveness of approximately 82 percent. They are also the only method that protects against sexually transmitted infections and diseases.
安全套是一种普遍流行的避孕方法，其避孕效果约为82%，同时也是预防性传播感染和疾病的唯一途径。

Zimbabwe has one of the highest HIV/AIDS figures in Sub-Saharan Africa. According to 2016 statistics from UNAIDS, around 13.5 percent of its population is affected by the disease, with 40,000 new infections each year. The most common cause of transmission continues to be unprotected heterosexual sex.
津巴布韦是撒哈拉沙漠以南非洲地区艾滋病病毒感染者/艾滋病病人数量最多的国家之一。据联合国艾滋病规划署（UNAIDS）2016年的统计数据显示，津巴布韦的艾滋病感染率为13.5％，每年新增4万名艾滋病感染者。而未采取防护措施的异性恋性行为仍是艾滋病最常见的传播原因。（译：筠竹/王会文）
