Rats in tiny trousers, pseudoscientific bullshit, the personalities of rocks, and Volkswagen’s, shall we say, “creative” approach to emissions testing were among the research topics honored by the 2016 Ig Nobel Prizes. The winners were announced last night at a live webcast ceremony held at Harvard University. 穿着小裤子的老鼠、伪科学胡扯、石头的个性和大众在尾气排放测试中富有创造性的方法,这些都是2016搞笑诺贝尔奖的得奖研究课题。昨晚,在哈佛大学举行的网上直播仪式中,搞笑诺贝尔奖的得主一一揭开了神秘的面纱。 This year’s crop of Ig Nobel Laureates is listed below. Those who attended the ceremony were given just 60 seconds for their acceptance speeches, a longstanding rule that was, as always, vigorously enforced (the Oscars could learn a thing or two from the Ig Nobels). 今年的搞笑诺贝尔名单如下。那些参加庆典的人只有60秒的提名演讲时间,这个长期以来存在的规则常常会被大力贯彻下去(奥斯卡也应该从搞笑诺贝尔奖中学到一两样东西)。 |
