无奇不有!十项体育类吉尼斯世界纪录

Every sport has its sacred[严肃的] records. In baseball, it’s the home run[本垒打] records—career and single season—though the hitting streak[连续安打] is also pretty special. Basketball has career points and, maybe more impossible to break, points in a single game. However, we’re not talking about sacred sports records today. Instead, we’re talking about goofy[傻瓜的] ones. Well, mostly goofy ones. That’s because today, we’re looking at ten awesome sports-related Guinness World Records.

每项体育运动都有其严格正规的纪录。棒球有本垒打纪录——包括职业生涯和赛季纪录——当然，连续安打纪录也很了不起；篮球有职业生涯总得分纪录，还有也许更难被打破的单场得分纪录。然而，我们今天要说的不是这些正经的纪录，而是比较搞笑的纪录——大部分都比较傻。因为我们今天要看的是十项与体育有关的吉尼斯世界纪录。

10. Fastest 100m on a Skateboard[滑板] ...by a Dog 狗狗100米滑板最快纪录

Record Holder: Tillman the English Bulldog[斗牛犬]

Date Established: July 30th, 2009

Location: Los Angeles, USA

Apparently this record was set during X Games[极限运动] XV in Los Angeles…which actually makes sense. Anyway, the winner of the dog skateboarding race, that day, and the current world record holder, was a Bulldog named Tillman, who rode a skateboard 100 meters in 19.678 seconds.(Now this one I’m fairly certain I could beat.)

显然，这个纪录是在在洛杉矶举行的第十五届极限运动中创造的……这也合情合理。不管怎样，那天狗狗滑板比赛的冠军——也是现在的世界纪录保持者，是一只叫蒂尔曼的斗牛犬。它的100米滑板成绩是19.678秒。（我确定我可以战胜这个成绩。）

9. Fastest Half Marathon Pushing a Stroller[轻便婴孩车] (Female)推婴儿车半程马拉松最快纪录（女子）

Record Holder: Nancy Schubring

Date Established: September 15th, 2000

Location: Vassar, Michigan, USA

This woman ran the “Mike May Races Half Marathon” in a respectable[可观的] 1:30:51.

Of course, they didn’t specify[详细说明] the make of the stroller, and that could make all the difference. I mean, I assume it was one of those strollers with the huge bicycle wheels and not one of those clunky[笨重的] plastic-looking things you see people pushing around a shopping mall. But they don’t say. Guinness really dropped the ball[犯错误] with this one.

这位女士非常出色地以1小时30分51秒跑完了“迈克·梅半程马拉松”。

当然，他们没有规定婴儿车的材质，而这一点可能完全改变赛果。我的意思是，我假定这位女士的婴儿车装有巨大的单车轮，而不是你看到人们在大商场里推着的那种塑料感明显的笨重婴儿车。但他们对此没有说明，吉尼斯这次真是失策了。

8. Fastest 20m Carrying 300kg on Shoulders (Male)负重300公斤移动20米最快纪录（男子）

Record Holder: Agris Kazelniks

Date Established: April 18th, 2009

Location: Milan, Italy

This would actually be a pretty cool Olympic sport; the IOC注1 should consider it.

As for this record, on the set of an Italian TV show, the man covered a 20m distance carrying 300kg in just 11.40 seconds. (I complain when I have to walk to the bus stop with my laptop in my backpack.)

这完全可以成为一个很酷的奥运项目，奥委会应该考虑一下。

这项纪录是在一档意大利电视节目中创造的。这位男士肩上扛着300公斤的重物，只用了11.40秒就走完了20米。（我在不得不背着笔记本电脑步行到公交车站时还不停地抱怨呢。）

7. Fastest 10K While Hula Hooping[（玩）呼拉圈] (Male)转呼啦圈跑10公里最快纪录（男子）

Record Holder: Ashrita Furman

Date Established: June 12th, 2006

Location: Huntington, New York, USA

This guy hula hooped 10km in 1:25:09. I wonder if anyone thought to calculate how many calories he burned? That total must have been out of this world.

这个男人转着呼啦圈，以1小时25分9秒跑完了10公里。我不知道有没有人想过他燃烧了多少卡路里？那总量一定无人能及。

6. Biggest Wave Ever Surfed最高冲浪纪录

Record Holder: Garrett McNamara

Date Established: November 1st, 2011

Location: Nazaré, Portugal

This 44-year-old pro surfer rode the largest wave of all time last November. Originally people were saying it was 90 feet, which would have shattered[粉碎] the old record by 13 feet. However, after examining the evidence Guinness declared the wave was only 78 feet—which beat the old record by just one foot. But hey, it doesn’t matter how much you beat the record by. All that matters is that you beat it.

去年11月，这位44岁的职业冲浪选手冲击了史上最巨大的波浪。人们原来说这个浪高达90英尺（27.4米），比旧纪录高出13英尺（4.0米）。然而，吉尼斯在查证后宣布这个大浪只有78英尺（23.7米）——只比旧纪录高出一英尺（0.3米）。不过嘛，比旧纪录高出多少并不重要，重要的是你打破了纪录。

5. Most People Dribbling[运球] Basketballs at One Time最多人同时运球纪录

Record Holder: UNRWA注2

Date Established: July 22nd, 2010

Location: Gaza Strip, Palestine

Well, they’ve tried everything else to bring peace to the Middle East. Why not basketball dribbling? Two years ago the UNRWA organized this event, in which they got 7,556 people to dribble basketballs at the same time. (I wonder how much it costs to ship 7,556 basketballs?)

为了给中东带来和平，他们已经尝试过各种方法，试试运球又何妨？两年前，联合国难民救济及工程局组织了这场活动——他们召集了7556人在同一时间运球。（我在想，要运来7556个篮球得花多少钱呢？）

4. Largest Snow Softball Tournament[锦标赛]史上最大规模的雪上垒球赛

Record Holder: Freezing Fun For Families (Charity)

Date Established: March 8th, 2009

Location: Barre, Vermont, USA

Every year a charity organization in Vermont holds a charity “snow softball” tournament. In 2008, they raised $50,000 to build something called a comfort room at the Central Vermont Hospital. Then, in 2009, they had 61 teams and 795 players participate[参与], setting the Guinness World Record. And I think this one will stay a while—who wants to steal the world record from a charity?

每年，（美国）佛蒙特州的一个慈善组织都会举办一次“雪上垒球”锦标赛。2008年，他们用筹来的5万美元在佛蒙特中心医院修建了一个“舒适空间”。到了2009年，共有61支队伍、795名选手参赛，从而创造了这项吉尼斯世界纪录。我想这个纪录还会保持一段时间——谁会去跟一个慈善组织争夺世界纪录呢？

3. Fastest 4x100m Relay...in High Heels高跟鞋4x100米接力最快纪录

Record Holder: Brittney McGlone, Jessica Penney, Laura Juliff, Casey Case

Date Established: September 28th, 2010

Location: Sydney, Australia

Brittney McGlone is an actual Olympic track athlete…so this one is kind of cheating. Her team ran a 4x100m in high heels in 1:49:19 back in 2010 at a charity event that raised $100,000 for breast cancer research.

布里特妮·麦格隆其实是一名奥运田径运动员……所以这个纪录有点造假成分。在2010年某个慈善活动上，她和队员穿着高跟鞋，以1分49秒19的成绩跑完了4x100米接力赛。这个活动为乳癌研究筹得了10万美元。

2. Fastest Downhill Cycling...on Snow雪地高山自行车速降纪录

Record Holder: Eric Barone

Date Established: April 21st, 2000

Location: Les Arcs, France

Downhill snow cycling? Sure, why not? And the speed record? It’s 138 mph, which sounds pretty fast to me. My only question is: do they use special tires?

雪地高山自行车速降？没错，为什么不可以呢？最快纪录是多少呢？每小时138英里（每小时222千米）。我认为这速度快极了。我的唯一疑问是：他们使用的是特制轮胎吗？

1. Fastest 100m Hurdles[跨栏] Wearing Swim Fins[脚蹼] (Male)穿脚蹼100米栏最快纪录（男子）

Record Holder: Christopher Irmscher

Date Established: September 13th, 2008

Location: Dormagen, Germany

This guy ran the 100m hurdles, wearing swim fins, in just 14.82 seconds. I’m fairly certain I couldn’t get close to that time with regular shoes.

这位男士穿着脚蹼，仅用了14.82秒就跑完了100米栏。我敢肯定，即使穿着正常的鞋子，我也无法追上这个成绩。

《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》是一本记载着世界之最的书，内容包括天文地理、历史科学、自然界等不同领域的世界纪录，每年出版一次。

1951年，吉尼斯酒厂的董事休·比佛（Hugh Beaver）爵士在爱尔兰打猎时，同行的人在争论哪种鸟飞得最快，彼此争论不休。由于当时的参考资料并不足以回答这个问题，这促使比佛想出版一本记载世界之最的书。后来，比佛爵士经人介绍认识了在伦敦开实况调查公司的孪生兄弟诺里斯·麦克沃特（Norris McWhirter）和罗斯·麦克沃特（Ross McWhirter），兄弟二人开始编写此书。1955年8月27日，此书首度发行，反应热烈，荣登英国圣诞节销售榜榜首。由于每年都有新纪录，因此此书每年均会推出新版。
