ugly selfie 扮丑自拍

在这个吃饭走路都要美美地自拍一张更新社交媒体状态的时代，在镜头前随时随地保持美颜让不少人心里暗暗叫苦。一些人索性故意分享一些扮丑自拍，释放心情。

 

Ugly selfie refers to a deliberately¹ unattractive photographic self-portrait.

扮丑自拍指的是故意自拍的不吸引人的照片。

 

Yet in a what's-your-status world filled with overwhelming pressure to look camera-ready at all times, it can be liberating² to drop the facade³ and laugh at society's obsession⁴ with the exterior⁵.

在当今这个随时要更新状态的时代，一直保持摄像头前的美颜的压力太大了，丢掉虚伪，嘲笑社会对美貌的痴迷能让人释放心情。

 

Thus, in the last few years, the ugly selfie — a selfie that's intentionally⁶ silly or unattractive — was born.

因此在过去几年，故意显得愚蠢或者不漂亮的扮丑自拍应运而生。

 

Though selfie culture continues to have its critics, sharing intentionally unattractive pics really is having a positive effect on many girls.

尽管自拍文化仍有诸多争议，分享故意扮丑的自拍照对很多女孩却有积极意义。

 

As 20-year-old Devin says, "An ugly selfie is a way to tell the world, 'Hey, maybe my skin isn't glowing and maybe I don't look super fit, but that doesn't mean that I'm any less worthwhile. In fact, that doesn't mean a single thing about me.'"

就像20岁的德文所说：“扮丑自拍告诉世界，‘嘿'，也许我的皮肤不光彩照人，也许我并不那么苗条，但这并不会贬低我的个人价值。其实这些对我来说什么都算不上。”
