And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.

本句28词，整个句子包括一个由that引导的宾语从句，that从句跟在谓语动词hint之后，全句结构并不复杂;like此处是介词功能，表示“如，像”跟在qualities后面 , charater and intellect 并列; rather than 并列连词，并列should look to 和 dieting their way to...，表“而不是”。

单词faintly: 模糊地，微弱地;charater and intellect：性格和智力;wasp-waist: wasp黄蜂，waist腰，细腰的;physique：体格，体形;

词组：diet their way to 这个是动词+one’s way to结构，理解比较灵活，表达的意思可以视为“动词+前行去....”，如make one’s way to...朝着。。。前行， squeeze one’s way to。。挤开一条路;所以diet their way to 理解为“通过节食达到”。

整句：或许他们提示人们应该关注于性格和智力等无形的品质，而不是通过一味地节食，达到“零码”、“小蛮腰”身形。
