Eighteen-year-old Florence Colgate’s face is considered almost flawless … it’s perfectly symmetrical, with large eyes, full lips and high cheekbones.

18的歲的弗羅倫斯‧寇兒蓋特的臉龐,被認為是幾乎完美無缺的…完美地對稱、大眼睛、豐滿的嘴唇、還有尖挺的臉頰骨。

[Florence Colgate]:

“I had to send in a picture wearing no make-up and from that I got called to say I got through into the top 5 out of 8000 people. It’s just unbelievable. Honestly, I did not expect to get this far at all."

弗羅倫斯‧寇兒蓋特說:「我得送去一張沒有化妝的照片,然後我從8,000人中擠進前五名,真是不可思議。坦誠說,我一點沒有預期到會這樣。」

The competition wasn’t just about subjective beauty – it was settled with science.

 這項競賽並不只是關於主觀美 ─ 而是用科學來決定的。

Researchers say the distances between facial features and the width and length of the face are deciding factors for perfection.

研究者說,臉部特徵間的距離,以及臉部的寬與長,是「完美」的決定性因素。

And Colgate scored very close to the ideal.

寇兒蓋特的得分,則是非常接近理想。

[Florence Colgate]:

“I think I just look at my face and I see me, I don’t really see, like science, it’s just yeah."

弗羅倫斯‧寇兒蓋特說:「我想我就是注視我的臉,我不真的是像科學那樣看,就是“耶”!」

Colgate works part-time at a local fish and chips shop. But she says her new-found fame doesn’t seem to have made her more popular with customers.

 寇兒蓋特在當地的一家魚洋芋片店兼職打工。但是她說她新被發現的名譽,似乎並沒有讓她更受到顧客的歡迎。

[Florence Colgate]:

“I haven’t really noticed. Obviously you still get your regulars who come in every week. I don’t know, it’s a busy fish and chip shop anyway."

弗羅倫斯‧寇兒蓋特說:「我並沒有真正受到注意,很明顯地,每週會來的客人仍然會來,我不知道,這是一家很忙碌魚洋芋片店。」

Colgate plans to study business management at university, unless of course, a lucrative modeling contract shows its face.

寇兒蓋特計劃上大學研讀企業管理,當然,除非有一張獲利甚豐的模特兒合約找上門來。
