Last week, the newscaster at KSDK in St. Louis, received some unsolicited advice from a woman named Mary.
unsolicited
表示“未经要求的；自发的；自我推荐的 ”，英文解释为“not asked for and sometimes not wanted”，unsolicited advice 主动提出的忠告。
“Do you ever watch yourself giving the weather report?” Mary wrote. “Seems that you need a girdle for the stomach overhang which shortens the front of your dress. Today was not the the first time I have noticed. Maybe you should wear a top that covers the bulge in your stomach.”
girdle
表示“（女子的）紧身褡”，英文解释为“a piece of women’s underwear which fits tightly around her stomach, bottom, and hips and makes her look thinner”；还有“腰带”的意思（a belt or thick string fastened around the waist to keep clothes in position）。
the stomach overhang
overhang，本义表示“（…上的）伸出物，外伸物，悬垂物；过剩（物）；积压（物）”，英文解释为“the part of sth that sticks out over and above sth else；the state of being extra to what is required; the things that are extra”，the stomach overhang指代的就是“小肚腩”。

Though Hinson normally replies to trolls privately, she responded to Mary on Twitter and included a screenshot of her cruel note.
troll

“Dear Mary, yes I do watch my air checks,” Hinson wrote. “NO I will not be strapping myself into a girdle because you don't like my belly. I like pasta, bread and cheese too much to obsess over my weight. I like my body and that's all that really matters.”

The message went viral with thousands of supportive comments. Many thanked Hinson for standing up to bullies.
As one woman wrote, "On behalf of this Mary (who needs more than a girdle to control her tummy), thanks for the awesome response. I've finally come to love my body and am so tired of the fat-shamers. You rock!!"

补充：
You rock! can be used by itself as a positive exclamation, often as a colloquial way of telling someone thanks for a service or favor. It can also be used as part of longer expressions such as you rock my socks off or you rock my world. The phrase frequently specifies actions that a person is good at, as in you rock at playing guitar, or qualifications, as in you totally rock.

Hinson believes weather presenters are targeted more than anchors because they don't sit behind a desk. Though she noted that her fiancé, Garry Frank, who is a meteorologist in Kansas City, has never been trolled for his appearance.
“I have no idea where the idea came from female meteorologists have to be models,” Hinson told TODAY. “I'm in this job because I’m a big nerd who loves science. I'm here for the storms.”划重点表达：· 隆起的肚子，小肚腩：the stomach overhang/ the bulge in your stomach/ her swollen belly
