A Ukrainian man who grew astonishingly long eyelashes after eating a particular type of food is bidding for a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
一名乌克兰男子在吃了某种神秘食物后长出了惊人的长睫毛,并打算凭借这对长睫毛申报吉尼斯纪录 Valery Smagliy, 58, from Kiev, Ukraine is to have them officially measured before finally having them cut.
瓦莱里·斯马格利( Valery Smagliy )是一名来自乌克兰 He said a change in diet to include a secret food coincided with the bizarre growth.
斯马格利称是饮食习惯的改变产生了这一变化,而其中的一种神秘食物正是造就这对惊人长睫毛的“功臣”。
However he declined to share what that food was.
但他拒绝透露这种神秘食物到底是什么。
He told local media: "I started eating something and noticed that my eyelashes really started growing quickly at the same time.
他告诉当地媒体:“当我开始吃某种食物后,我的睫毛就开始长得非常快。”
"I'm thinking of marketing it so I'm not giving away the secret of what it is."
“我打算在市场上推销这一食物,所以我不会透露它的真面目。”
He decided not to save his eyelashes immediately after discovering he got a lot of attention and praise from women, most of whom were jealous of his long, natural lashes. But he also got stopped by men asking him if he was crazy.
因为这对既自然又长的睫毛,瓦莱里受到了极大的关注,女人因羡慕而连连称赞,于是他当即决定不再留着这对长睫毛了。不过,男人也经常上前追问他是不是疯了。
"Whether it's man or woman, most people don't seem to pay much attention when I'm talking to them because they're always looking at my eyelashes," he bemoaned.
“不管是男人还是女人,大多数人在我和他们说话的时候都心不在焉,因为他们都光看着我的长睫毛去了。”他叹息地说。
"Women would stop me in the street and ask me what the secret was, they can see that they are real and not fake. But to be honest they are just heavy now and my eyelids are getting sore.
“有些女人会在街上拦着我,追问我长出这么长的睫毛的秘诀是什么,她们能看出来那是真的、不是假的。但说真的它们太重了,压得我的眼皮生疼。”
"And it's also difficult to see properly with huge grey eyelashes in front of my eye."
“而且我很难看清楚眼前的东西,因为眼睛前总有一堆灰色的玩意儿挡住视线。”
He said he was heading to the local registry office of the Guinness Book of Records to have them officially measured, and reckoned he could probably make the European record - although probably not the world record.
他说他打算去当地的吉尼斯世界纪录申报办公室正式量一量睫毛的长度,并坦承他可能还破不了世界纪录,但破欧洲纪录应该没问题。
According to the world record book, the longest eyelash on record was measured at 6.99 cm (2.75 in) in 2007 on Stuart Muller's left upper lid in Florida, USA.
根据吉尼斯世界纪录,世界上最长的睫毛纪录是6.99厘米,2007年由美国弗罗里达州的斯图尔特·穆勒 He said: "I suppose I could go for the world record, but to be honest what's the point?
他说:“我想我可以去申请世界纪录,但说实话,有啥意义?”
"I prefer to be able to see better and I plan to get them cut in a professional salon so I reckon they will still look pretty good afterwards."
“我宁可让视线更清楚,因此打算去一家专业沙龙把睫毛剪了。所以我想剪了以后,它们看上去应该仍然非常不错。”
