5. Translate into English.• 1. Pon la salud lo primero y la moda después porque tus

piernas tienen que durarte toda la vida y la moda es algo efímero. Un director de un colegio tuvo que prohibir a sus alumnas que llevaran zapatillas con plataforma por miedo a que se les rompieran los tobillos.

• 2. Las mujeres que llevaban vestidos de lino tenían que mojárselos para que tomaran la forma del cuerpo lo que condujo a que se cogieran unas gripes terribles e incluso a muertes prematuras

• 3. Pero los hombres también han tenido que soportar su parte de incomodidad cuando llevaban esas pesadas pelucas del siglo 17, todavía hoy llevadas por algunos abogados, o los que en esa época llevaban golas como Cervantes.

• 4.Otros ejemplos negativos han sido el uso de maquillaje hecho de zinc para blanquear la cara lo que las destruía, o tropezarse con las ropas superanchas y acampanadas de los años 60 con los hippies o incluso el estrangulamiento de Isadora Duncan al engancharse su bufanda en la rueda del coche

• 5. Pero la parte que más ha sufrido han sido los pies porque hasta el año 1865 no se empezó a dar forma a los zapatos, asi que lo que soporta ahora no es nada y de todos modos las incomodidades si son moda merecen la pena, ¿Verdad?

• Put health first and fashion second as your legs have to last all your life and life is an ephemeral fad. The headmaster of a school had to ban their pupils from wearing platform trainers since he was worried hey would break their ankles.

• Women who wore linen dresses had to wet them to make them take the shape of their bodies which led them to get linen flu and even to premature deaths

• Men had to put up with their share of discomfort when they had to wear those heavy 17th-century wigs, still worn today by some lawyers, or those who wore ruffs at that time like Cervantes

• Other negative examples have been the use of zinc-based make-up to whiten one´s face which destroyed it or tripped over 60s-style baggy and flared clothes, like hippies or even Isadora Duncan ´s strangling when her scarf got caught by the wheel of her car

• But the part of the body that has suffered the most has been are the feet because it wasn ´t until 1865 that they started to shape shoes to the foot, so what we put up with today is nothing and anyway, if discomfort is fashion is worth it, isn ´t it?
