　　围观：世界上9大最强人和物！

　　1. Graphene

　　1. 石墨烯（地球上最坚硬材料）

　　Scientists have proven graphene to be the strongest material on Earth through testing. It has been heat and diamond tested, and they have even stretched a piece of it over a coffee cup and attempted to puncture¹ it with a pencil. They say the material could support the weight of an automobile² balanced on top of a pencil!

　　在经过高温测试和钻石的硬度测试后，科学家证明石墨烯是地球上最坚硬的材料。他们将一张石墨烯薄片平放在咖啡杯口上并用铅笔刺戳。科学家们还称，放在笔上的石墨烯可以承受一辆汽车的重量。

　　2. Strongest Earthquake

　　2、最强烈的地震

　　The strongest recorded earthquake which has ever occurred took place in Valdivia, Chile in May of 1960. It measured in at 9.5 on the Richter Scale, took out countless³ buildings, and resulted in numerous subsequent tsunamis⁴, some of which hit Hawaii, Japan, and even the Philippines. Other, smaller earthquakes occurred in the days following.

　　1960年5月，在智利瓦尔迪维亚发生的9.5级地震被誉为史上破坏力最强的地震，摧毁了无数的建筑并引发巨大海啸，一部分影响到了夏威夷、日本、甚至菲律宾等地。并在震后几天产生了余震。

　　3. Strongest Finger

　　3. 最强手指

　　Fu Bingli, a master of Kung Fu, has been a student of the martial⁵ arts since he was 7-years old. 32 years later he has mastered his art to the point that he can literally⁶ stand upside-down on his index finger, which fully⁷ supports his weight. After doing 12 push-ups on that finger Bingli made the Guinness Book of World Records.

　　功夫大师傅丙利7岁起就开始学习武术。37岁时就已经能够仅用食指支撑起整个身体倒立。他可以单靠食指撑地做12个俯卧撑，并以此获得了吉尼斯世界纪录。

　　4. Strongest Beer

　　4. 最烈的酒

　　With 41% alcohol, ‘Sink the Bismarck’ is the strongest beer in the world. It is brewed⁸ by BrewDog Brewery⁹ of Scotland, and it has more alcohol in it that both whiskey and vodka! The same brewery makes ‘Tactical Nuclear Penguin’, another beer which has 32% alcohol in it.

　　由苏格兰BrewDog啤酒厂酿造的‘Sink the Bismarck’酒，酒精含量41%，是世界上最烈的酒。就算是威士忌和伏特加两种酒加起来酒精含量也比不过它。该酒厂还酿造了一种叫‘Tactical Nuclear Penguin’的酒，酒精含量为32%。

　　5. Strongest Eyelids¹⁰

　　5. 最强的眼睑

　　This one is a bit gross, but it’s true. The eyelids belong to another Kung Fu master, Song Tao, who lifted almost 100 pounds of water using them. Tao claims he spent years sleeping with buttons under his eyelids so he could adjust to the feeling of them, and his ability to lift with them was taught to him by another Kung Fu master.

　　这个看起来可能有些恶心，但是是真实存在的。宋涛也是一位功夫大师，能够用眼睑轻松地提起近100磅的水，宋涛称自己多年睡觉时将水用绳子挂在眼皮上以便能适应这种感觉，还称这是他在另外一位功夫师傅那里学到的。

　　6. Strongest Bug¹¹

　　6. 最强的昆虫

　　The dung beetle¹² is the strongest insect on Earth, and is able to pull more than 1000 times its own weight. This is the same as if a human weighing in at 70 pounds were able to pull the weight equivalent of six ‘double-decker’ buses. Its strength helps defend itself and its mate from enemies, and scientists say it is so strong because it has an active sex life (?)!

　　蜣螂被认为是世界上最强的昆虫，能够拖动比其体重重1000多倍的重物，相当于一个70磅的人能够举起相当于六辆双层巴士的重量。这种力量不仅来自于自身的需要还可以保护同伴免受敌人的侵略。科学家称蜣螂如此强壮是因为其活跃的性生活（？）！

　　7.Strongest Great-Grandmother

　　7. 最强壮的曾祖母

　　70岁的威妮弗蕾德·普利斯特尔是举重运动员，目前是两项举重的世界纪录保持者。可以硬拉250磅，卧推超过176磅。她在40几岁开始练习举重，那是完全是为了减肥。

　　8.Strongest Girl

　　8. 最强壮的小女孩

　　13-year old Varvara Akulova of the Ukraine is the strongest girl in the world. She began her sport when she was a mere¹³ four years of age, and proved to have a natural strength at that time: She could lift 220 pounds then! You can check out a documentary about the girl that was put out by The Discovery Channel. She only gains about four pounds a year, but at the same time she increases the weight she lifts by twenty-five pounds. Wow!

　　13岁的乌克兰女孩瓦尔瓦拉·阿库洛娃是世界上最强壮的女孩。年仅四岁时就开始比赛，并向人们展现了自身的力量，能够举重220多磅。《探索与发现》栏目还专门为这个女孩做了一期纪录片。她每年只增重4磅，但同期举重能增加25磅。哇哦！

　　9.Strongest Tot

　　9. 最强的孩童

　　Liam Hoekstra is only three, and he looks like any normal toddler, but this boy is anything but! The boy from Roosevelt Park began waving a couple of 5-pound dumbbells around like they were nothing, and he can even do sit-ups in rapid succession. His strength is attributed to myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy which is a genetic¹⁴ condition. It has given him 40% more muscle mass than other children his age.

　　三岁的利亚姆·胡克斯特拉看起来跟普通的小孩没什么两样，但他却是独一无二的。利亚姆·胡克斯特拉来自罗斯福公园，能够看起来毫不费力地举起两个重5磅的哑铃。甚至能够快速连续地做仰卧起坐。利亚姆·胡克斯特拉的这种能力来自于遗传性肌生成抑制蛋白肌肉肥大，使他比同龄小孩多出40%的肌肉。
