 　　It was supposed to be an honour befitting of an "example of excellence1", the four-time footballer of the year who led Portugal to victory in last year's European Championship.

　　C罗曾4次获得年度足球先生，2016年他带领葡萄牙队夺得欧洲杯冠军，C罗铜像本该是一种象征“卓越典范”的荣耀。
　　Instead, the bronze bust2 commemorating3 Cristiano Ronaldo's new namesake airport attracted widespread derision.
　　然而，这座为了庆祝马德拉机场更名为C罗名字的铜像却招来一片嘲笑声。
　　The bust hardly does the handsome footballer justice. It squashes his eyes close together, and the cheeky raised-eyebrow smile more resembles a leer.
　　铜像几乎"糟践"了这位英俊的足球运动员。C罗铜像的两眼距离太近，挑眉嬉笑的表情更像是抛媚眼。
　　爆笑! C罗奇葩铜像遭全民吐槽!
　　The face is also unusually chubby4, in contrast to Ronaldo's chiseled5 looks.
　　铜像的面部也出奇的圆润，与C罗轮廓分明的外形大相径庭。
　　The bust's sculptor6 Emanuel Santos said it took him 15 days to create the statue.
　　铜像雕刻师伊曼纽尔·桑托斯称，自己花了15天创作这个雕像。
　　He welcomed the stir his piece caused and said that "even Jesus did not please everyone, this is a matter of taste."
　　对于自己的作品引发的争议，他表示欢迎，并称“即便耶稣也无法让所有人都满意，这关乎个人喜好。”
