　　Protester Tyrone Evelyn, 15, said the group, from Whitchurch High School in Cardiff, would continue campaigning for a change.

　　抗议者泰隆-伊夫林今年15岁，他表示卡迪夫市惠特彻奇高中的学生们还将继续这项活动，要求改变现状。

　　He said: “It’s just appropriate for the weather - we don’t want to be hot and bothered.Over the last few days I’ve had a few headaches and skin irritationsbecause I’ve been too hot.Girls can wear skirts, so I don’t see why we can’t wear shorts. It’s a reasonable protest.”

　　他说：“这只是由于天气的原因，我们可不想中暑。这几天因为太热，我有些头疼还皮肤过敏。女生可以穿裙子，我们为什么就不能穿短裤。我们的抗议是合理的。”

　　Tyrone and his friends wore trousers to school with skirts stowedin their bags after they suspected some teachers had got wind of their protest, which they planned on Facebook.

　　The boys’ protest comes a month after train drivers in Sweden made international headlines by wearing skirts to work to protest against a policy that banned shorts.
