美华裔医生征婚奇招:免费整形换约会

2013-08-14来源:赫芬顿邮报

Dr. Emil Chynn -- New York's pickiest bachelor -- is still looking for love, and in such unique ways.
纽约最挑剔单身汉埃米尔·陈医生正在通过别具一格的方式寻求自己的另一半。

After finding little success when he posted a personal ad in the Spring 2012 issue of Columbia University's alumni magazine, offering a $10,000 charitable donation for an introduction to the right woman, the Ivy League-educated surgeon has a new offer -- hook him up and he'll fix you up.
埃米尔在2012年哥伦比亚大学校友杂志春季版上曾登过一份私人广告,称如果他能找到适合自己的女性,就会给慈善机构捐款1万美元。这一举动获得了小小的成功。现在,这位出身常青藤大学的外科医生有了新想法:要是你给我介绍女朋友,我就给你做手术。

Chynn, who runs a Park Avenue LASEK eye surgery practice is now offering cosmetic procedures to those who can find him the right lady. After a recent networking event, Chynn sent out a mass email explaining how it would work:
陈医生在林荫大道开有一家眼科诊所,还配备准分子激光上皮下角膜磨镶术设施。现在,要是有人能介绍给他合适的女朋友,就可免费做手术。近期网上发布了陈医生的电子邮件,对这一方案做了大量详细介绍。

美华裔医生征婚奇招:免费整形换约会

The good doctor will shell out $100 for finding him a first date. If there's a second date you could receive free eyelash-enhancer Latisse or $200. On the chance a third date should take place, Chynn would offer free Botox or $300; free Juvederm injections or $400 for the elusive fourth date, and free Lasek surgery on one eye worth $2,000 or $500 cash for that magical fifth date.
如果你给他介绍的女孩同意第一次约会,那医生将付给你100美元。如果还有第二次约会,你就能免费获得睫毛增长营养液或200美元。如果他们再进行第三次约会,陈医生会送你美容用肉毒杆菌或300美元;要是能撑到第四次约会,你将免费得到整形用玻尿酸注射一次或400美元;假如还有不可思议的第五次约会,你会获得价值2000美元的单眼激光近视手术或500美元现金。

If you're thinking to yourself, "this sounds like a pretty good deal," and you know tons of eligible women that would love to date a successful doctor, think again. The reason Chynn has yet to find his match, is that he's quite possibly the pickiest man in New York City.
如果你认识很多高资质、愿意和成功医生约会的女性,在说出“交易蛮划算”之前还请三思而行吧。陈医生极有可能是全纽约最挑剔的男人,这也是他到现在都没找到合适女友的原因。

The qualities he's seeking in a woman have not changed since he posted his 2012 personal ad, and he's very, very specific. The following is just a few of the criteria a woman must meet to be considered a match for Dr. Chynn:
自从他2012年发布个人广告后,征求女友的条件就一直没变,而且条目精细繁多。下面就是想做陈医生女友必须达到的部分条件:

Age 27-35 (ideally 28-34)
年龄27-35岁(最好是28-34岁)

No kids, wants kids in the next 1-2 years
无子,但准备在未来1-2年内要孩子

College graduate, doesn’t have to be a great school, but needs to have finished the degree
大学毕业生,不一定要名牌大学毕业,但一定要顺利毕业。

Skinny (i.e. dress size 0-2, if you don’t know what that means (many men don’t) it means very skinny)
身材苗条(例如穿0到2号的衣服。如果你不知道那是什么意思(许多男人都不知道),就当做瘦得皮包骨头好了。)

Caucasian (not black, not Hispanic, not Asian)
白种人(不是黑人、西班牙人或亚洲人)

Healthy lifestyle (defined as no smoking, no drugs, good diet, no hard drinking)
生活方式健康(不吸烟,不吸毒,饮食健康,不酗酒)

It's been a few days since Chynn sent the email, and he's only had two set-ups, and -- shocker -- he rejected both of them because they didn't meet his sky-high standards.
陈医生发出邮件好多天后才收到两个回复,令人震惊的是,他把两个约会对象都拒绝了,因为她们不符合他的择偶超高标准。

“The yield is very low because I’m so picky,” he told the New York Post in an interview. “I’m not crazy I just want someone who’s the right age and the same sort of education and we’re compatible and loves me for me.”
他在接受《纽约邮报》采访时说:“这几乎没有任何成效,因为我太挑剔了。我不是病态,我只想找一个和我年龄相近、受教育程度相当的人,她要和我相处融洽,爱我本人,没有其他企图。”
