A woman who was bullied¹ over her height is inching her way into the record books with what she believes are the longest legs in the US - measuring a whopping 49.5 inches.

一女子曾因身高受欺负，现因其拥有美国最长腿而跻身记录册——-她腿长惊人，达49.5英寸（1.25米）。

Holly² Burt– who is 6ft 5ins tall – said she was picked on at school for being so tall – but added since moving to New York two years ago, men love her figure.

霍莉·博特身高6英尺5英寸（1.98米），她说，因为身材高挑，在学校会受欺负。不过她补充道，自两年前搬到纽约后，人们喜欢她的身形。

Holly said: 'Back in middle school I was called daddy long legs, tree or giraffe - but the dating scene has gotten better since I moved to New York. I definitely have seen guys come up to me who have a fetish for long legs."

霍莉说，“在中学的时候，我被大家唤作长腿叔叔、大树和长颈鹿——但我搬到纽约后约会变得顺利很多。我也真的碰到很多迷恋大长腿的人来到我面前。”

Holly believes her legs are definitely an asset now, 'being older I feel like people appreciate them more.'

霍莉认为她的长腿现在绝对算资产，“年龄越大，我发觉人们越懂得欣赏长腿之美。”

Holly was always destined³ to reach great heights as extreme stature⁴ runs in her family.

霍莉注定会长得高，因为她家里人身材都非常高挑。

But being tall also proves difficult when Holly uses standard sized cars or shops for clothes. She said: 'It's very difficult taking planes and getting in cars. My ex-boyfriend had a Mini Cooper and we took that to Florida - it was probably the worst ride of my life.

但霍莉乘标准规格的车子或者购买衣服时，长得高也成了问题。“乘坐飞机、钻进车子都很艰辛。我的前男友开迷你库柏，我们乘那辆车去的弗罗里达，这估计是我今生最不堪回首的旅程了。”

'I'm hoping my legs will generate good opportunities - I'm very open to modelling again.'

''我希望的我的大长腿可以带来好机会——我很乐于再做模特这行。''

Holly, pictured with a passer-by, said: She said: 'I love the attention that I get.'

霍莉和路人拍照，她说：“我喜欢受关注。”
