考研英語時(shí)文賞讀（111）：“顏值女主播”秒變大媽，粉絲受到驚嚇

　　Chinese vlogger who used filter to look younger caught in live-stream glitch

　　一位利用遮擋使自己看上去更年輕的主播在直播時(shí)因故障露出了真容

　　Fans of a popular Chinese video blogger who called herself "Your Highness Qiao Biluo" have been left stunned after a technical glitch during one of her live-streams revealed her to be a middle-aged woman and not the young glamorous girl they thought her to be.

　　中國知名主播“喬碧蘿殿下”在一次直播中因技術(shù)故障而露出了真容，原來她是一位中年大媽，而非人們認(rèn)為的那個(gè)年輕而迷人的女孩，她的粉絲因而受到了驚嚇。

　　The revelation has led to discussions about standards of beauty across the country’s social media platforms.

　　這一事件引發(fā)了中國網(wǎng)友對(duì)于美的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的討論。

　　The blogger, who initially boasted a follower count of more than 100,000 on Douyu, is believed to have used a filter on her face during her appearances, and had been renowned for her "sweet and healing voice".

　　據(jù)悉，這位在斗魚上擁有10萬多粉絲的主播在直播時(shí)都會(huì)開遮擋，并曾以“甜美治愈的聲音”而聞名。

　　China’s Global Times said she had been "worshipped" as a "cute goddess" by some members of her loyal audience with some fans even giving her more than 100,000 yuan ($14,533, ￡11,950).

　　中國的《環(huán)球時(shí)報(bào)》稱，她曾被她的一些忠實(shí)觀眾“追捧”為“可愛女神”，一些粉絲甚至給她打賞了10多萬元（約合14533美元，11950英鎊）。

　　The Global Times reports that all was as normal and that her fans urged her to show her face and remove her filter but she refused, instead apparently saying: "I can’t show my face until I receive gifts worth 100,000 yuan ($11,950). After all, I’m a good-looking host."

　　據(jù)《環(huán)球時(shí)報(bào)》報(bào)道，此前一切都很正常，粉絲們勸她露臉，去掉遮擋，但被她拒絕了。她明確說道：“除非收到價(jià)值10萬元人民幣（約合11950美元）的禮物，否則我不會(huì)露臉。畢竟，我是個(gè)顏值主播。”

　　Many of her original followers - especially men - are said to have stopped following her and withdrawn their transactions after seeing her true identity.

　　據(jù)說，她的許多最初的粉絲（尤其是男性粉絲）在得知她的真實(shí)身份后，已經(jīng)不再關(guān)注她了，并且不再打賞了。

　　Most commentators said her followers were gullible, superficial and deserved to be "tricked" into parting with their cash gifts without first verifying her identity.

　　大部分網(wǎng)友表示，她的粉絲太過輕信、膚淺，在沒有核實(shí)其身份的情況下就打賞，活該“被騙”。
