What makes a camel beautiful? First, its beauty must be natural. Many camels are disqualified from the contests every year when their owners are caught using cruel methods to change their appearance. Lips are an important part of a camel’s beauty. In the contest, judges look for a lower lip that hangs down and an upper lip that is clearly separated in the middle. In addition, its eyes should be dark yet sparkle in the light. A beautiful camel should have long, dark eyelashes that help protect its eyes from sand.
怎样才算美丽的骆驼呢？首先，牠的美必须是天生的。每年都有许多骆驼因主人被发现使用残忍的方法改变其外貌而被取消比赛资格。嘴唇是骆驼美貌的一个重要部分。在比赛中，评审追求的是下垂的下嘴唇和中间明显分裂的上嘴唇。此外，牠的眼睛应该要是黑色的，但在光线下闪闪发光。一只美丽的骆驼应该要有又长又黑的睫毛，帮助保护牠的眼睛免受沙尘所害。
