A Lebanese bank is offering loans to finance plastic surgery to meet growing demand from people seeking to improve their looks.

　　为迎合越来越多的黎巴嫩人渴望改变容貌的需求，该国一家银行近日开始向顾客提供整形手术所需费用的特殊贷款。

　　First National Bank's "Plastic Surgery Loan" can provide between $1,000 (500 pounds) and $5,000 to cover "all your plastic surgery operations and orthodontics", according to the bank's Web site. "Today you can have the life you've always wanted," it says.

　　、黎巴嫩第一国家银行最近在其官方网站上表示，该行推出的这种"整形手术贷款"可以提供1000美元至5000美元不等款项，"有了这笔钱你就可以去做任何类型的整形手术以及畸形牙齿矫正手术了。从此你便能够拥有自己一直以来所梦寐以求的人生了。"

　　"Statistical studies showed that there is a huge increase in this sphere -- in beautification surgery", George Nasr, the bank's marketing manager, told Reuters. "This opens horizons."

　　该银行市场营销经理乔治·纳赛尔表示："来自统计方面的研究结果表明，人们在美容手术这一领域内的需求正呈现快速增长。这方面的市场前景不可限量。"

　　Clients included people disfigured by accidents and war and others simply looking to improve the way they look, he said. The bank has received more than 200 phone calls a day about the loan since the launch of an advertising campaign last week.

　　纳赛尔表示，眼下前来办理此项贷款的顾客中，既有那些因为意外事故被毁容的人，也有那些希望自己的容貌看上去更出众的人。

　　Nasr described looking good as part of Lebanese culture. "We like to look our best ... There are people who see this loan as their life raft," he said.

　　从上周开始推出这一贷款的广告后，该银行每天都会接到超过200个咨询电话。 在纳赛尔看来，拥有更加漂亮的外貌已经成为了黎巴嫩文化的一个组成部分。他说："我们总是希望能够以最佳的形象出现在公众面前，有些人已经把这种贷款看成了改变他们命运的最后机会。"
