A leggy mum-of-two is hoping to smash the current record for the longest legs in the world.
近日，一名澳洲长腿女子（两个孩子的妈妈）打算向当前“世界最长腿”世界纪录发起冲击。
Former model Caroline Arthur has legs measuring a whopping 51.5 inches from hip to heel.
卡洛琳·亚瑟曾经是一名模特，据称她的腿长达到了惊人的51.5英寸。
The 39-year-old from Melbourne said she thinks her pins are the longest in Australia and America - and now she's hoping to prove they are the longest in the world.
今年39岁的卡洛琳·亚瑟来自墨尔本，她相信自己的腿是全澳大利亚和全美国最长的，现在她打算证实自己的腿是全世界最长的。
The current Guinness World Record holder is Russia's Svetlana Pankratova, who has legs that are 51.9 inches long.
目前“世界最长腿”的吉尼斯世界纪录保持者是俄罗斯的斯维特拉娜·潘克拉托娃，她的腿长为51.9英寸。
"Because it's so close I think it is worth contacting them and finding out exactly where they measure from and getting an official, accurate measurement done," Caroline said.
卡洛琳表示：“我们的腿长是如此接近，所以我认为值得跟他们联系一下，确认他们的测量方式，做出最正式和准确的测量。”
Caroline is 6ft 2in tall - meaning her legs account for around 69 per cent of her frame. Caroline has always struggled to find clothes that fit her long slim physique and is the subject of stares and astonished glances whenever she is out in public.
卡洛琳身高6英尺2英寸--这意味着她的腿部占据了身高的69%。卡洛琳一直在寻找适合她修长苗条身材的衣服，每当她外出时都会有人盯着她看，并投来惊讶的目光。
"Mostly, I enjoy it," said Caroline. "My friends always have to be a bit prepared when they venture out with me because people do stare especially if I'm dressed up in heels.
卡洛琳对此表示：“多数情况下，我还是挺喜欢这样的，不过我的朋友跟我在一起的时候总是要有一点心理准备，因为人们总是盯着我看，尤其是我穿高跟鞋的时候。”
But Caroline has not always been so confident in her appearance she recalls being a self-conscious teenager who wanted to dress in ways that would disguise her height.
不过卡洛琳也不总是如此自信，她回忆在害羞的青少年时期，自己总是试图在衣着上掩饰自己的身高。
She explained: "I definitely didn't embrace my height and there was a real period where I didn't feel beautiful or attractive at all. I just wanted to be the same as everyone else. I started modelling when I was around 15 and that gave me confidence."
她解释说，“我真的一点也喜欢自己长这么高，在一段时期内，我不觉得个子高是有吸引力的。那时我只希望跟别人一样。直到15岁以后当我开始当模特，才慢慢建立起信心。”
