  • Seventeen-year-old Kurt Coleman has garnered1 an enormous following online by posting selfies and boasting about his good looks.

    通过自拍和吹嘘自己的美貌,17岁的少年Kurt Coleman已经在网络上拥有了一批追随者。

    The teenager, from Gold Coast City, Queensland, has become a web sensation with more than 172,000 followers2 on Facebook and 87,000 followers on Instagram.

    这位来自昆士兰州黄金海岸市的少年已经成为近期的网络热点,他在Facebook上的粉丝超过17.2万,在Instagram也有8.7万的粉丝。

    Kurt has compared his pictures to the perfection of a lunar eclipse and jokes that he inspired Beyoncé Knowles's hit Flawless.

    他自认与月食相比,自己的照片完美无缺,并笑称自己给了碧昂斯的热门歌曲《Flawless》灵感。

    "I'm hot and I love myself," Kurt said. "People are really jealous of me, I can understand why, and I'll never change for anyone because I love myself."

    “我身材火辣,我爱我自己。”Kurt说道,“人们嫉妒我,我能理解,但我不会因为任何人改变自己,因为我爱我自己。”

    He also describes himself as the 'Australian Paris Hilton', whom he idolises because "she doesn't care about anything, she just does what she wants".

    他同时自喻为“澳大利亚版帕里斯·希尔顿”,帕里斯是他的偶像,因为“她不在乎任何事情,只随心所以做自己想做的。”

    Kurt appears to be revelling3 in his new-found fame:

    他似乎陶醉于自己的名气中。

    I love how my face and name is everywhere right now, that's how I like it.

    — Kurt Coleman (@KurtJayColeman) April 18, 2014

    “我喜欢我的照片和名字遍布各地,这是我最喜欢的方式。”——Kurt Colman 2014.4.18

    When asked to share the secrets of his good looks, Kurt informed Studio 10, "every week I get a spray-tan and then I wash my hair every day...I just try and look amazing every day".

    当问及保持美貌的秘诀时,这位少年告诉Studio 10:“我每周都会用皮肤色素喷雾剂,而且每天洗头……我就是竭尽所能让自己每天看起来光彩照人。”

    Kurt is particularly popular in Australia and there are even businesses which sell Kurt Coleman merchandise.

    Kurt在澳大利亚特别受欢迎,甚至有专门售卖Kurt Coleman商品的业务。

    The Kurt Coleman Supply Company exists to 'promote the poster-boy to thousands of youth around the world for being who you are and not caring what anyone else thinks.'

    Kurt Coleman供应公司致力于“向全世界的青少年宣传这位典型少年,由此鼓励人们做自己,不要在乎别人的看法。”

    "It's so funny, I can't believe it really," Kurt told MailOnline.

    Kurt告诉《每日邮报》,“这太搞笑了,我简直不相信这是真的。”

    "It's ridiculous, they're making money off my face, I'm going to get around to getting money out of them."

    “这太荒谬了,他们在利用我的脸蛋赚钱,我正打算从他们那儿赚钱呢。”

    In a manner not dissimilar to Justin Bieber, the social media star polarises opinion. Some admire his beauty and liberating4 individualism but others lament5 the popularity of a modern-day Narcissus whose looks have stunted6 the development of his personality.

    与Justin Bieber的方式没什么不同,大家对这位社交明星的看法两极分化。有的人欣赏他的美貌和个性解放,其他人则叹息这位“现代版纳西索斯”的名气——外表阻碍了个性发展。

    'Haters' regularly confront him in the street and the teenager admits to having been hit many times.

    这位少年承认,经常在街上碰到讨厌他的人,还被袭击过多次。
