Those wondering exactly where they can find human breast milk soap, a live fox or a David 'Bickham' sex doll need look no further: China's answer to eBay stocks them all.
那些想知道去哪買人奶香皂、活狐貍或者“大衛?憋克漢姆”充氣娃娃的人不用再找了，中國版的易趣網上啥都有。

Taobao is a treasure-trove for those hunting for the unusual, eccentric or just plain worrying, boasting around 760 million products for sale at any one time.
對于那些愛搜羅稀奇古怪的東西的人或者焦慮狂來說，淘寶絕對是個聚寶盆，因為那里隨時都有大約7.6億件寶貝等你收走。

It was thanks to China's biggest shopping hub that the world got to see the planet's most unflattering dress: a knock-off of a slinky red carpet outfit worn by Thor actress Jaime Alexander in 2013.
多虧了中國這個最大的購物平臺，現在全世界都有幸一睹地球上最丑裙子的風采：《雷神》女演員杰米?亞歷山大2013年走紅毯時穿的緊身裙的仿品。

 The purchaser had expected the daring number to arrive and transform her into the siren wearing the dress on Taobao, which was founded in 2003.
買家在2003年創立的淘寶網上買了裙子之后，原本幻想自己能搖身一變成為萬人迷。

But the result was so disappointing she shared it on the seller's site - and it quickly went viral.
豈料上身效果太美不敢看，于是把買家秀在淘寶上分享了，然后這張圖片就紅了。

Yet it is still not the most horrifying item for sale on Taobao, thanks to China's lax trading laws.
但由于中國的貿易法比較寬松，這還不是淘寶上賣的最可怕的寶貝。

Because while many use the site to top up on standard products like furniture, clothes, electronics and other home essentials, it seems others are looking for more outlandish products.
因為雖然許多人在這里買家具、衣服、電子產品和其它家用產品之類的正常商品，另外一些人卻在尋找更怪異的東西。

The David Bickham sex doll is no doubt one of the more popular on offer on Tabao - although it has to be said, at 1.7 metres it is 13 centimetres shorter than its real-life inspiration.
“大衛?憋克漢姆”充氣娃娃毫無疑問地成為淘寶上大火的產品，雖然不得不說，這個一米七的東西比真正的小貝矮了13厘米。

All the same, at ￡52.10 the pink shirted Mr Bickham could certainly be seen as a bargain - and the suppliers know it.
但是這個穿著粉色T恤的充氣娃娃只賣52.1英鎊，絕對便宜，這一點賣家顯然知道。

One Taobao user quibbled the price, with the seller responding: 'We have arms that can rotate 360 degrees, even the hair and eye-lashes are well-made.'
一個淘寶買家嫌價格貴，賣家回復說：“我們這款充氣娃娃胳膊可以360度旋轉，連頭發和眼睫毛的做工都很好。”

Those who prefer a living, breathing person to an inflatable doll can purchase this through Taobao as well.
相比充氣娃娃，那些更喜歡活的、喘氣兒的商品的人也能在淘寶上有所收獲。

Should one be in need of a boyfriend, Taobao has a few available to hire.
如果需要男朋友的話，淘寶有租。

Boyfriends for hire are increasingly popular in China, with demand rising thanks to the phenomenon of the 'leftover woman': a phrase to describe any woman who reaches her late-20s single.
由于“剩女”現象，租男朋友這事在中國越來越火。“剩女”指的是快到30歲卻仍然單身的女人。

Many fake boyfriends are used by women sick of parents nagging them about not having other halves, so they take home a pretend one to appease them.
有的剩女受不了父母叨叨，催她們找另一半，于是就租個假男友回家取悅父母。

The fake boyfriend pictured below says he has a 'distinct look and a warm personality'. Services start at ￡54.30 - with prices rising depending on the perceived attractiveness of the man for hire.
下面這張圖片里的假男友說，他相貌英俊，是個暖男。租男友標價54.3英鎊起，價格隨著長相的英俊程度變化。

However, sex is not one of the services provided.
但是，性服務不包括在內。

Taobao is not just for girls when it comes to dating, however.
要說約會服務，淘寶的服務對象可不限于女孩子。

Fake girlfriends are also available on the website - although these ones are purely remote, like the WeChat Girlfriend.
淘寶上也有虛擬女友，不過都是遠距離的，跟微信女友類似。

WeChat is China's most popular smartphone messaging app, and for ￡2.06 a day the user will get at least 15 messages from their pretend princess.
微信是目前中國最火的通訊應用，只要每天支付2.06英鎊，你就能從他們提供的虛擬女神那里收到至少15條信息。

However, don't expect any funny business.
不過，可不要有別的想法哦。

'Warning: WeChat girlfriends sold here are healthy and morally-righteous girls,' the description reads.
產品描述中有這樣的警示語：“本店微信女友均為健康道德的女孩。”

'Guys who have unhealthy demands please go away.'
“有不健康需求的男士請走開。”

Animals, and animal related products, can both be found on the website.
淘寶上也有動物以及動物相關的產品。

There are plenty of treats for China's pampered pooches - who, some believe, are treated like children.
網站上有很多寵物狗的相關產品，很多中國家庭都把寵物狗當孩子來養。

The cascade of dog clothes on Taobao, such as these snazzy ￡4 raincoats, does little to dispel the idea.
淘寶上的各種狗狗服飾，比如這些售價4英鎊的雨衣，就是說明。

Even more questionable are the books on sale, promising to teach avid readers how to have an out-of-body experience in just 30 days.
讓人更加不可思議的是淘寶上賣的一些書，聲稱能在30天內教人學會靈魂出竅。

But at just 22p a manual, it doesn't seem too much of a loss if it doesn't work.
不過，這么一本只要22便士的書，就算什么都學不會好像也沒損失什么。

Then there are the more practical considerations: this wee container, for example.
淘寶上也有一些挺實用的東西，比如這個接尿壺。

The brightly-coloured, elephant-themed cups are available for both boys and girls at just ￡2.10 each.
這種顏色鮮艷，大象形狀的尿杯有男款和女款，售價只要2.1英鎊。

And it seems there are a hit.
而且，這產品似乎還挺熱銷。

One user wrote: 'My baby loves it, ever since I told him this is for peeing, he's been wanting to pee all the time.'
一位用戶寫道：“我家孩子很喜歡這個，自從我跟他說這個是用來尿尿的，他就老想尿尿。”

Taobao is a goldmine for those looking to update their wardrobe as well.
對于那些想要給自己的衣柜藏品進行升級的人來說，淘寶簡直就是個金礦。

This giant hat, which was still under construction, was available for a negotiated price, and a deposit of ￡32.60.
這個巨型帽子，目前還在生產當中，接受議價，需預付32.6英鎊。

Meanwhile, these wings - on sale for just ￡55 - were supposedly inspired by Victoria's Secret models, allowing people to have their own catwalk moment.
而這對翅膀，售價55英鎊，估計是受到維多利亞秘密模特的啟發，可以讓普通人體驗一下走T臺的感覺。

Then there are the accessories on sale for smartphone-obsessed China, with one of the latest offerings being this ￡7.05 hand warmer, designed to keep your digits toasty while allowing you to remain glued to your phone.
當然，淘寶上也少不了為熱愛智能手機的中國用戶提供的各類手機配件。比如最近推出的這款暖手袋，售價只要7.05英鎊，既不耽誤你玩手機，還能讓你的手和手機保暖。

And finally, there is this terrifying mask, one of the many hand-made items on sale.
最后，來看看這款有點嚇人的面膜，眾多手工制品中的一種。

But it seems even the owner holds out little hope of selling the ￡15 item.
這個面膜售價15英鎊，不過，似乎連店主本人也對這個東西的銷售前景不抱多大希望。

'I don't think my dog looks at me the same way again after I put it on,' wrote the maker.
店主寫道：“我戴上這個面膜以后，我的狗狗看我的眼神都不一樣了。”
