2016年搞笑诺贝尔奖得主出炉：奇葩得笑哭了

 　　Rats in tiny trousers, pseudoscientific bullshit, the personalities 1 of rocks, and Volkswagen’s, shall we say, “creative” approach to emissions 2 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)。
