贝克汉姆获封最性感男士 自谦称毫无魅力

David Beckham is a global superstar, devoted husband and down-to-earth dad of four. And now, the humble British heartthrob is this year's Sexiest Man Alive.
贝克汉姆是全球超级明星，忠诚的丈夫和四个孩子的父亲。而这位一直很谦虚的英国万人迷当选为今年全球最性感男人。

"It's a huge honor," Beckham, 40, tells PEOPLE of scoring our 30th anniversary Sexiest Man crown. "And I'm very pleased to accept."
“这是很高的荣誉，”作为《人物》杂志创刊以来选出的第30位最性感男士，现年40岁的贝克汉姆表示“我十分高兴获得此荣誉。”

Although he's been a sex symbol for nearly two decades, the self-effacing soccer icon isn't sure he's even deserving of the mantle. "I never feel that I'm an attractive, sexy person," he says in this week's cover story.
虽然近二十年来，他一直被人视为性感的象征，但这位谦虚的足球明星并不确定他是否能配得上这个称号。他在这周的封面故事上说“我从来不觉得自己是个有魅力的性感男人。”

"I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way."

"We kind of laughed about it with the boys and the boys kind of laughed at me and said, 'Really?! Sexiest man alive? Really?' "|
“儿子们把这事当笑话，他们嘲笑我说‘真的吗？！现世最性感男人？真的吗？’”

A hands-on father of Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 12, Cruz, 10, and Harper, 4, Beckham says he's getting the most ribbing from his eldest: "Brooklyn was the one who was like, 'Are you sure it's not me that's meant to be there today?'"
身为资深父亲的贝克汉姆有四个孩子——16岁的布鲁克林、12岁的罗密欧、10岁的克鲁兹和4岁的哈柏，他说大儿子嘲笑得最厉害，布鲁克林说：“你肯定当选的那个人不是我？”
