　　因此，圣诞节来临之际，各大卖家为胡须男发明季节性配件才是经营之道。

　　A London advertising agency has been selling beard baubles - for the man wanting to add an extra festive touch to his chin fuzz.

　　伦敦一家广告公司已经顺势推出装饰胡子的圣诞小物，为有胡须的男士在节日中增彩。

　　该公司称，这种每包售价5英镑(7.8美元)的胡须装饰物非常畅销，甚至收到远在澳洲的顾客的订单。

　　The success of the product is a happy accident - the business makes a Christmas card every year to send to clients and friends and this year decided to add a present to their message of seasonal cheer.

　　The craze isn&apost just a hit with humans either.

　　这种疯狂的举动不只是在人类上流行。

　　Ollie says: &aposWe&aposve heard about hairy dogs wearing Beard Baubles too.&apos

　　奥利说：“我们听说长毛狗也佩戴胡须装饰物了。”

　　All proceeds from the baubles go to Beardseason, an initiative to raise awareness for the fight against Melanoma that is encouraging men to grow their beard during the month of December.

　　来自胡须装饰小彩球的所有收益将捐献给Bread Season，以提高人们对黑色素瘤的认识。这种首创精神也鼓励着男士在圣诞月蓄起他们的胡须。
