It is often said that money can't buy love.

人们常说金钱买不来真爱。

But trying telling that to a wealthy Indian man who splashed out £14,000 on a solid gold shirt in the hope it will attract female attention.

不过这位富有的印度男士显然不相信这种说法:他豪掷1.4万英镑打造了一件货真价实的黄金衬衫,希望可以吸引来异性的关注。

Money-lender Datta Phuge 32, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, commissioned the shirt which took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day creating and weaving the gold threads.

现年32岁的达塔是一名放债人,来自印度城市宾布里-金杰沃德。他委托了一个由15名金匠组成的团队打造这件衬衫,这些匠人每天工作16小时耗时两周,用黄金制作金线缝制终于完成了这件“金缕衣”。

It comes complete with its own matching cuffs and a set of rings crafted from left-over gold.

此外,剩余的黄金还被打造成配套的腕饰以及戒指。

'I know I am not the best looking man in the world but surely no woman could fail to be dazzled by this shirt?' he explained.

达塔这样解释道:“我知道自己可能长得不太好看,但我可以很自信的说,有哪个女人不会被这件衬衫闪到眼?”

 

 

'The gold shirt has been one of my dreams,' Mr Phuge told Indian newspaper the Pune Mirror.

他对印度报纸《普那镜报》表示:“打造黄金衬衫一直是我的梦想。”

'It will be an embellishment to my reputation as the ‘Gold man of Pimpri"' Mr Phuge said.

他还说,作为“宾布里的黄金男人”,这件纯金衬衫将会为他的名声增光添彩。

The gaudy shirt was assembled on a fabric base of imported white velvet, and comes with six Swarovski crystal buttons and an intricate belt, also made of gold.

这件华丽的黄金衣用进口的白色天鹅绒做衬底,上面镶嵌了六颗施华洛世奇的水晶纽扣,还搭配了一条同样用黄金制成的复杂颈带。
