哈 這種記錄

(中英對照讀新聞)/Man in Guinness for getting hit by car /被車撞的男子列入金氏世界紀錄
Matthew McKnight hopes nobody manages to top his feat in the Guinness Book of World Records. That’s because McKnight holds the record for "Greatest Distance Thrown in a Car Accident" in the book’s 2008 edition.

馬修.麥奈特希望沒有人能超越他在金氏世界紀錄的功勳。那是因為麥奈特是金氏紀錄2008年版「在車禍中被撞飛到最遠距離」的世界紀錄者。


The 29-year-old record-holder lived to tell about being thrown 118 feet by a car that hit him while traveling about 70 mph. He was struck on Oct. 26, 2001, while trying to help accident victims along Interstate 376 in Monroeville, about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.

這名29歲的紀錄保持人逃過一劫後,訴說有關他被一輛時速70英里的車撞飛到118呎遠的事蹟。他在2001年10月26日被撞,當時他正試著協助蒙羅維爾376號州際公路旁的車禍傷亡者,蒙羅維爾位於匹茲堡以東15公里處。


He suffered two dislocated shoulders plus a broken shoulder, pelvis, leg and tailbone. He spent two weeks in the hospital and 80 days in rehab before returning to work in April 2002. McKnight is a volunteer firefighter and paramedic, though he wasn’t on duty when he stopped to help the accident victims.

他的雙肩脫臼,外加一肩、骨盆、一腿與尾椎骨骨折。他在2002年4月回到工作崗位前,在醫院待了2週,並花了80天復健。麥奈特是一名義消與醫務輔助員,然而當他停下車來協助事故受害者之際,並不是在出勤。


McKnight’s emergency room physician, Dr. Eric Brader, submitted paperwork for the record, which Guinness recognized in 2003. It was not listed in the book until the 2008 edition, however.

麥奈特的急診醫師布萊德提交文件,爭取該紀錄,金氏於2003年認可,然而直至2008年版才被登錄進世界紀錄大全。
