Quasi Modo, a short-spined mixed-breed dog from Florida, was named the world's ugliest dog for epitomizing "excellence in ugliness."
卡西莫多,是弗羅里達一條短脊混種狗,被命名為世界最丑狗狗,“丑到極致”的代表。
The 10-year-old pit bull-Dutch shepherd mix won the title from a pool of 27 underdogs at the annual World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California.
這條10歲的狗狗是斗牛犬和荷蘭牧羊犬的雜交后代,在27條“其貌不揚”的狗狗中脫穎而出,贏得了加利福尼亞佩特盧馬索諾瑪馬林集市一年一度的世界丑狗之最的比賽。
The judges score the dogs on first impressions, unusual attributes, natural ugliness, personality and audience impression, according to the event's website."We aren't interested in lineage; it's the inner beauty and personality that shine in our World's Ugliest Dog contest," said Karen Spencer, marketing director for Sonoma-Marin Fair, which organizes the event.
據(jù)活動網(wǎng)站稱,評委們按照對狗狗的第一印象、特別品質(zhì)、天生貌丑程度、個性、觀眾印象來打分?!拔覀儗ρy(tǒng)不感興趣,在世界丑狗之最的比賽中,大放異彩的是內(nèi)在美和性格,”索諾瑪馬林集市的市場總監(jiān)兼活動的組織方卡倫·史班瑟如是說。
The first runner-up was Sweepee Rambo, a Chinese crested Chihuahua, who takes pride in her soft freckled skin and blond mohawk. The second runner-up was Frodo, a 12?-year-old Chinese crested hairless-Chihuahua mix from Sparks, Nevada, who loves to be bossy, according to his official bio.
獲得第二的是掃把頭蘭博,中國冠毛狗和吉娃娃的混種,蘭博引以為豪的是其帶雀斑又不失柔軟的皮膚和金色的馬希坎式發(fā)型。第三名的是福祿多,十二歲半,中國冠毛犬和吉娃娃的混種,來自內(nèi)華達的斯帕克斯,最愛發(fā)號施令。
Because many of the homely hounds, including this year's ugliest, come from shelters and puppy mills, the contest aims to encourage adoption of dogs regardless of their physical shortcomings.
因為許多相貌平平的獵犬,包括今年最丑的,來自收容所和小狗育種場,此次競賽的目的是鼓勵人們收養(yǎng)狗狗,不要去計較它們的身體缺陷。
Quasi Modo's owner found her at an animal shelter.She has multiple birth defects to her spine, and her back is too short for the rest of her body.Grown-ups have mistaken her for a hyena or Tasmanian devil and jumped on their cars to get away, but once they get to know her she wins them over with her bubbly personality.
卡西莫多的主人是在動物收容所發(fā)現(xiàn)的它??ㄎ髂嗌鷣砑怪陀性S多缺陷,于整個身體而言,它的背脊太短。大人們都把卡西莫多錯當成鬣狗或是“大嘴怪”,見狀會飛車奪路而逃,但一旦了解了卡西莫多,人們又會大愛它的活潑歡愉的性情。
