　　Since 2001, more than 1,000 high school and college students in the U.S. have participated in the Body Project, which works by getting girls to understand how they have been buying into the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or successful.
　　【分析】本句为复合句，主架为… students… have participated in the Body Project。Since 2001为时间状语。which… successful为非限制性定语从句，修饰的是the Body Project。by… understand为方式状语。how they… notion为宾语从句，作understand的宾语。that you… successful为同位语从句，解释的是notion。buy into指“接受并受（某种思想、观点等）的影响”。
　　【译文】从2001年起，在美国已经有超过1000名高中和大学生参与了这项“身体计划”，这一计划旨在让女孩们了解她们是如何被灌输那种“为了成功和幸福，你必须瘦”的思想的。
