  “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。”

  In a manner not dissimilar to Justin Bieber, the social media star polarises opinion. Some admire his beauty and liberating 4 individualism but others lament 5 the popularity of a modern-day Narcissus whose looks have stunted 6 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。(小编注:希腊神话中,美少年纳西索斯(Narcissus)深爱自己的美貌,后因恋上自己在水中的倒影而在死后化做了水仙花。自恋的英语名称正源自这个故事。)
  '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。
