Many of them first saw the light when the Internet was still in its infancy - and the technology known as 'good taste' seemed to be in short supply. A website has pulled together some of the ugliest web pages on Earth - and they're all still going strong, despite having been designed in the 'good old days'.

　　這些網站多數誕生于互聯網產生初期，它們似乎缺乏設計網站的“好品味”。現在有一個網站正致力于匯集全世界最差設計網站，盡管這些網站都奇丑無比，并且嚴重落伍，但是類似網站的數量卻是有增無減。

　　Websitesfromhell.com harks back to the nightmarish days when capital letters and fluorescent letters ruled cyber space - often without a picture in sight. Websitesfromhell.com invites submissions from all over the world only with one condition - that the selection be truly dire.

　　這個名叫“來自地獄的網站”(Websitesfromhell.com)收集了這些滿眼大寫字母和熒光字，幾乎沒有圖片的垃圾網站。“來自地獄的網站”歡迎來自世界各地的人提供備選網站，條件只有一個：網站足夠“可怕”。

　　The site says: ‘You can submit your own website, a website of your ex-client or the page of the rest home from your grandma who slaps you every time you visit her. The only requirement is: the website should be ugly!

　　根據其網頁描述：“你可以推選自己的網站，前客戶的網站，抑或是你祖母養老院的網站(因為每次你去探望她都要因為那個難看的網站崩潰一次)。我們的要求有且僅有一個：沒有最丑，只有更丑!”

　　‘There is a heavy use of gif images, more frames than you can count, java applets used as navigations, rainbow backgrounds and so on? Yes, that would be a great candidate for hell! Use the submit form! Now!’

　　“有的網站過度使用gif圖片、或者是數不清的條條框框、還有用作導航的java應用、再或者是彩虹色背景等等。是不是很讓人受不了呢?如果是，那么這就是一個‘來自地獄的網站’候選者，趕快推薦吧，不要猶豫!”

　　The 423 websites include candyromeo.com, which bills itself as the first dog matrimonial website in India.

　　432個中選網站中包括號稱印度首家狗狗婚介網站的candyromeo.com。

　　To a background of awful Indian rock music, its creators have arranged a garish visual assault of dog photos, animated pooches and neon colours. At the bottom of the homepage are two more pictures of dogs - with their eyes animated to look as if they are twinkling.

　　該網站糟糕的印度搖滾背景樂、令人眼花繚亂的狗狗俗照、動畫處理外加晃眼的霓虹色已經足夠令人崩潰。主頁底部還配上了另外兩只狗狗圖片，并且通過動畫處理使其眼睛看上去一眨一眨的。

　　Webking.com proports to be the homepage of a web designer who will build your own for $99, but the site itself it so bad that only the clueless would employ him.

　　Webking.com是一個網頁設計網站，你可以花上99美金，讓其幫你建立自己的網站。不過鑒于這個網站本身就做得如此糟糕，估計只有腦殘才會花錢找他們幫忙了。

　　Aside from the photo of a man wearing a crown in the top corner, there is also an amateurish picture of a castle and lurid bright text scattered throughout.

　　除去角上那個戴皇冠的男人照片，網頁上還有一個十分業余的城堡圖片，外加令人應接不暇的可怕亮字，這可著實不是什么推銷自己的好渠道。

　　Another website featured on websitesfromhell.com is hosanna1.com which proports to be links to ‘the most beautiful pages on the web’.

　　另外一家上榜網站是hosanna1.com，該網站宣稱自己可以鏈接到“最美網站”上。

　　Unfortunately it is so clogged with multicoloured, overlapping text of different colours that it ends up leaving you with a headache. In the middle there is even a bizarre section which orders the viewer in bright pink capitals: ‘CLICK HERE FOR PUPPIES!!!’

　　然而不幸的是，該網站顏色過多，不同顏色的文字層層疊疊，看得人頭痛不已。更令人難以容忍的是，網頁中部還有一個詭異的部分，通過亮粉色大寫字母奪人眼球：“點此得小狗!!!”

　　Some of the websites have been changed since appearing on the website, such as Florida-based TNT Events. Before being named and shamed however it had an inexplicable yellow and scarlet colour scheme and text overlayed on top of a picture of its two founders, making the words unreadable.

　　一些網站在被點名為最差網頁后進行了調整，比如來自佛羅里達州的TNT Events。在其獲提名并因此而蒙羞之前，該網站顏色為令人無法理解的紅黃交替，并且頂部兩位網站建立者照片之上還疊加了文字，從而導致文字模糊不清。
