For 2-year-old Connie Lloyd, there was nothing amusing about having a bright red "clown's nose," the Daily Mail reported.

Born with a benign tumor that grew to cover her nose, she suffered cruel taunts and name-calling and was told the rare condition could not be cured.

But the shy little girl has a reason to smile at last after surgeons defied the odds and left her with a "nose like mum's."（点击英国《每日邮报》查看原文）

女孩生来带“小丑鼻子”

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，对两岁的小女孩康妮•劳埃德来说，出生就带着一个红红亮亮的小丑鼻子一点都不好玩。

       由于出生的时候鼻子上就有一个肿瘤，后来长满全鼻，康妮遭受了无数嘲讽，而且医生告诉她这种罕见的疾病是治不好的。

       如今这个害羞的小女孩终于可以笑了，几次手术已经使她成功摘掉肿瘤，现在她的鼻子已经看起来非常“像妈妈的了”。
