18歲女大學生五官黃金比例 獲評"英國最美的臉"

Leonardo Da Vinci spent a lifetime trying to paint ntists and mathematicians have puzzled for centuries over what makes one,while cosmetic surgeons have amassedfortunes striving to create Florence Colgate? Well, she simply has one.

達芬奇終其一生想要畫出一張最美的臉。科學家和數學家關於最美的臉的標準冥思苦想了幾百年，而外科整形醫生則傾其所有試圖打造一張最美的臉。那麼弗洛倫斯·考蓋特呢？她就擁有一張最美的臉。

The 18-year-old student is blessed with what is described as the perfect face. It matches an international blueprint for the optimum ratio between eyes, mouth, forehead and chin, endowing her with flawless proportions.

這名18歲的學生擁有一張堪稱完美的面孔。她的雙眼、嘴巴、額頭以及下巴之間有着最完美的五官比例，而這正好和一份世界完美面孔的結構圖相吻合。

In theory, that needn't necessarily cause her to appear anything more than symmetrical(in which department, incidentally, she is also faultless). But the blue-eyed blonde's mathematical dimensions have just added up to success in a competition to find Britain's most naturally beautiful face.

從理論上說，她可能只是五官分佈比較勻稱（其實從這個意義上說她也是完美的）。但是這位金髮碧眼的美女憑藉她精確的五官比例從競爭中脫穎而出，成功獲得了英國最美的自然面孔的殊榮。

Florence, who has a Saturday job in a seaside chip shop in between studying for her A-levels, beat 8,000 entrantsto win the title. Contestants were judged without make-up and were barred entry if they had had plastic surgery or chemical enhancement.

弗洛倫斯目前正在準備大學入學考試，同時每週六在海邊的一家油炸食品店打工。她擊敗了8000名入圍者贏得了這個稱號。所有選手都要素顏接受評判，凡是做過整容手術或是通過化學手段美容的人一律不得入選。

Locals wrylysuggested it was the sea air in the Dover Grammar schoolgirl's home town of Deal, Kent, which contributed to her success, or possibly a secret ingredient in Middle Street Fish Bar's chips. But it is the scientific definition of beauty – not to mention a healthy portion of beauty genes from her mother – which gave Florence the crown.

當地人略帶挖苦地推測她成功的原因，大概是家鄉肯特郡Deal小鎮的海濱氣息，弗洛倫斯就讀於當地的多佛文法學校；或者是這家“中央街道炸魚吧”的薯條裏某種神祕的配料。但真正幫助弗洛倫斯獲得這頂桂冠的，是對於美的科學定義，更不用說她還傳承了她母親美麗基因裏的健康部分。

A woman's face is said to be most attractive when the space between her pupils is just under half the width of her face from ear to ear. Florence scores a 44 per cent ratio. Experts also believe the relative distance between eyes and mouth should be just over a third of the measurement from hairline to chin. Florence's ratio is 32.8 per cent.

當一個女性的兩眼瞳孔間距離小於她雙耳間距離的一半時，她的面孔據說是最具吸引力的。在這一項上弗洛倫斯的比例是44%。專家還相信，眼睛到嘴巴之間的相對距離應該剛好超過髮際線到下巴距離的1/3。而弗洛倫斯的比例是32.8%。
