资料图 “丑八怪”相亲网站

  The world's first dating site for ugly people has been launched in the UK .

  世界上首个专为“丑八怪”而设的相亲网站在英国成立。

  TheUglyBugBall.co.uk specifically excludes "anyone who is overtly pretty or attractive". Instead, it accepts only those who "weren't blessed with great looks,” or, more bluntly, people who have "fallen from the ugly tree and hit every branch on their way down".

  该网站名为“丑虫舞会”,杜绝“任何明显可爱或者有吸引力的人”。相反地,该网站只接收那些“没有绝代容颜”者。或者,说得直白点,“丑虫舞会”只要那些“从丑陋树上跌落并一路磕磕绊绊”的人。

  According to the site's straight-talking creator Howard James, it offers the "aesthetically challenged" a much-needed service.

  网站创建者霍华德-詹姆斯称,网站给那些“美学挑战者”提供他们迫切需要的服务。

  "It's a sad fact that up to half of the UK is made up of ugly people yet amazingly nobody has ever thought of providing a dating service for them. Just because they don't looklike Kate Moss doesn't mean they don't have a lot of love to give and we're scooping up these people and offering them a glimmer of hope."

  “不幸的是,英国人中一半人都是丑人,但是让人吃惊的是从没人想过为丑人办个相亲网站。他们不像凯特-莫斯并不意味着他们内心没有爱,我们把这些人聚集起来,给他们一线希望。”
