听说过整容。

听说过花大钱整容。

听说过整残的。

听说过花大钱整残的。


但是,花67块钱整容真的大丈夫吗?


总说女生把自己的脸当试验田,什么水乳精华霜发晒霜隔离霜妆前乳粉底液遮瑕膏眼影腮红阴影高光粉饼蜜粉散粉卸妆液都往自己脸上招呼,而且还是各种牌子的都想尝试。在整容兴起后也有动不动就换脸的,啥?还有换头的?那种毕竟少见啦~~!(摆手)


可是这些女生们跟今天要讲的这个花了67块钱整容的男子比起来,还是小巫见大巫。


一名菲律宾青少年曾花费67元给他的鼻子和下巴做整形,但现在他非常后悔自己当初的举动,因为这样的整形让他毁容了。

Ellowe Alviso's said his "charming" face had landed him a number of modeling gigs a few years ago, but his desire to improve it further ended in a disaster following a botched nose job by a supposed beautician. 

Ellowe说自己曾长着一张“万人迷”的脸,在几年前曾因此获得了很多的模特工作,为了进一步发展自己的事业,Ellowe决定去找美容师整容,而这却断送了他的模特事业。

gig:

  • n. 旋转物;鱼叉;轻便双轮马车;现场演出;临时工作

  • vi. 乘轻便双轮马车;起绒;叉鱼

  • vt. 使…起绒;用鱼叉叉;记过处分

botched:办砸了;搞砸

beautician:美容师




Ellowe Alviso从16岁开始就利用他的好外貌赚钱,他接了各种模特工作。大约在三年前,他决定通过整容增加自己被选中的机会。然而,他同时还想省钱。因此他没有去有资质的整形机构,而是自己联系了据说经验丰富的跨性别护士Euge Edward Udangan。她同意给他做整容只收500菲律宾比索(折合人民币约67元),这样便宜的价格令他难以自持。不幸的是,Ellowe最后为自己这个决定后悔不迭。

Alviso said he has sued the suspect, Euge Edward Udangan, for destroying his nose and chin.

Ellowe起诉了Euge整残了他的鼻子和下巴。


(Ellowe原来的样子)


这位年轻人透露说Udangan给他的鼻子和下巴注射了一种据说是胶原蛋白的液体,注射之后他也对自己的样貌非常满意。那时他对结果感到十分满意,他的雇主也很满意。整容之后,Ellowe到手的工作接踵而来。

Alviso said that for his P500 ($10.71) nose job, Udangan injected what the latter claimed was a collagen solution into his nose. Udangan also performed a cleft chin job on Alviso.

Ellowe说她总共花了500菲律宾比索(人民币约67块),Udangan坚称她为Ellowe鼻子注射的是胶原蛋白,她还顺便帮Ellowe做了鼻子。


After the nose and chin job, Alviso said he got more modeling projects.

整完鼻子和下巴后,Ellowe说自己接到了更多的模特工作。

collagen:胶原;胶原蛋白

cleft:

  • adj. 分裂的;劈开的

  • n. 裂缝;龟裂

  • v. 劈开;分开(cleave的过去式和过去分词)

  • n. (Cleft)人名;(英)克莱夫特


但术后两年,他发现自己的鼻子和下巴开始变得畸形起来。不久,他就开始接不到模特工作,他的鼻子也变肿了。

Two years later, however, Alviso noticed that his nose and chin got deformed. As a result, he lost all his modeling projects.

然而,两年后Ellowe就发现自己的鼻子和下巴开始变形了,模特的工作也接不到了。

deformed:

  • adj. 畸形的;丑陋的;残废的

  • v. 使...残缺,使...变形(deform的过去式和过去分词形式)



当他最后终于决定去医院,让真正的医生给他检查鼻子和下巴的时候,才了解到当时Kasheca给他注射的液体是蜡、凡士林和密封剂的混合物。随着时间流逝,它开始变成颗粒,且变得坚硬起来,最终让他容貌尽毁。他的身体开始对这种混合物有了排斥,因此必须做手术将它拿出来。急救手术让他变得比以前更丑了。

When he went to the hospital to have his nose and chin checked, doctors told him the solution injected into his face was a mix of wax, petroleum jelly, and sealant.

当Ellowe去医院检查鼻子和下巴时,医生告诉他他的脸上被注射的是蜡、凡士林和密封剂的混合物。


He then sought Udangan's help and asked that the latter shoulder at least half of his hospital expenses. However, instead of being helpful, Udangan allegedly threatened to have Alviso killed.

然后Ellowe向Udangan寻求帮助希望她至少能承担自己医药费的一半。

shoulder:

  • n. 肩,肩膀;肩部

  • vt. 肩负,承担

  • vi. 用肩推挤,用肩顶


由于Ellowe没有得到想要的结果,因此他开始起诉Kasheca非法行医。

''Minura ako, binantaan ang buhay ko, sinisiraan ko daw siya,'' Alviso said of Udangan, a transgender woman. 

“她诅咒我并威胁我的人身安全。她控告我玷污了她的名誉。”Ellowe是这样描述Udangan这个变性人的。


(She cursed me and threatened my life. She accused me of tarnishing her reputation.)

tarnish:

  • n. 晦暗,无光泽;污点

  • vt. 玷污;使……失去光泽;使……变灰暗

  • vi. 失去光泽;被玷污;变灰暗



Ellowe Alviso的艰难人生并不只有这一件事,在短短一年内养育他长大的姑妈去世了,他的继父死后他和母亲被赶出了家门。由于没办法当模特,他开始卖煮鸭蛋维持生计。

Compounding his woes, Alviso said his aunt who helped raise him died around the same time he was confined in the hospital.

祸不单行的是,将他养育长大的姑妈在他在医院期间去世了。


And, months later, his stepfather died. This rendered him and his mother homeless as they were kicked out of the house owned by his late stepfather.

没过几个月,他的继父也去世了,他和母亲被赶出了继父的房子。


No longer able to work as a model, Alviso turned to selling "balut." 

做不了模特,Ellowe开始卖鸭仔蛋。


Alviso now moonlights as a Halloween character. 

他也做点万圣节扮鬼的活赚外快。

''Kapag may mga events sa park, nag-aano ako ng pang Halloween,'' he said. 

“万圣节在公园里有活动的话,我会装扮一番出去赚钱,”Ellowe说。


(If there are events at the park, I dress up as if it's Halloween). 


Police vowed to help trace Udangan, who now has a warrant of arrest. 

警察说会帮助Ellowe追捕Udangan,已经发出了逮捕令。

  • n. 根据;证明;正当理由;委任状

  • vt. 保证;担保;批准;辩解


虽然有这么多辛苦的经历,这位前男模并未放弃恢复容貌的希望。四个月前他接受了他的第七场颅面复原手术,他还通过社交媒体为接下来的手术费募捐。


一般人整残了也会希望能恢复以前的容貌,但是一般人不会拿67块钱去整容。


67块钱整容,活着不好吗?


看完这篇文章后有没有森森地觉得,脑子,真是个好东西。
