下段摘自文学城(http://209.176.28.8/BBSView.asp?SubID=style&MsgID=2385),找不到英文出处,“倒数第二名”可能为误译:
澳洲国会议员汉森前天抵达柏斯机场时,穿着一条迷你百褶裙。昨天发行的娱乐杂志《星期名人》把汉森的这身打扮称为时装之灾。汉森已被选为今年世界上倒数第二名穿着最难看的人。 (路透社照片)
谁能找到路透社原文?the last but one ugliest?

没看见原文,但我相信您肯定是对的。否则就无所谓“时装之灾”了。

译者脑子里还是按“好看”排的序--不过我猜大多数人下意识也是这么排的吧,所以都不容易注意到这个错。

没找到原文。但只要谈到评奖,倒数第二也是第二,一般会用“runner-up”或“the second worst dressed”

评最佳“best”和最次“worst”都是不同档次之“最”,第二一般是“runner-up”。也可用“the second best”或“the second worst”。Better check it out.

明白了,中译文中“倒数”两字是多余的。

Right! BTW, 看到runner-up,想到可以去对译殿试的“榜眼”了。

是啊,那“探花”就是second runner-up了。

I was intrigued by a sudden influx of visitors to my old
'trimetric' page. By working backwards I arrived at
a site which offers a new translation by a Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss
paradox@depauw.edu
Here is the link.
If you click on graphics you will get an image file
of the Chinese and English text. Clicking on the text option will get you to the English only page.
Here is the main index page:

Here is the place where you do the clicking !

Using the link on that San Zi Jing page, I went to another page which billed itself as"the only genuine Wang Yinglin page in the whole WWW": very interesting since the author of the page is a German.
"Wang Yinglin page"

That, in turn, leads to one of his pages which discusses
about mushrooms. I remember there was a couple of posts a few months ago where people asked about different types of mushrooms.
