This chaperone does not only \"protect\" the entrant. He or she is one who brings the Evian water, carries five pouches of makeup, answers all phone calls and gets stuff thrown at (if his or her boss is a b*tch).

我认为还是“护花使者”好。


Explanation:
虽然某些词典对Chaperone的解释是“在社交场所陪伴未婚少女的年长妇女”(新英汉词典),但我发现选美比赛中的Chaperone也有男性。请见以下两个网站的例子:

http://www.misssouthpacific.ws/2002/news.htm
Miss Fiji's chaperone, Joe Gray, said the whole pageant is a real eye opener for him and he feels that the pageant is something that needs to be promoted back in Fiji.

If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by a parent/guardian/chaperone who is 25 years or older. Your chaperone must accompany you at the time of registration on THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2003. Your chaperone may be your mother, father, stepmother, aunt, grandmother, cousin, or a personal acquaintance approved in writing by your parents or legal guardian.
