First, there was the cinnamon challenge.
最開始是“肉桂挑戰(zhàn)”（干吞肉桂粉）。

Then, the firespray challenge.
然后又有“噴火挑戰(zhàn)”（對著火苗噴霧）。

And now, as a final testament to the fact that the Internet has lost its mind, we have "the pen challenge."
而現(xiàn)在，“插筆挑戰(zhàn)”再一次驗證了網(wǎng)友們的腦洞到底有多大。

Two U.K. students show how much stationery a person's head can hold in a throwdown on Twitter. It's as absurd as it sounds.
兩名英國學生在推特上發(fā)起了一項挑戰(zhàn)：一個人的腦袋上最多能放多少文具。光聽名字你就該猜到這事兒有多荒唐了。

Apparently, studying for exams also makes you come up with totally insane and random ideas. It is so for two U.K. teenagers.
很顯然，即使快考試了也沒能阻擋學生們搞些不著邊際的餿點子。這兩名英國青少年就是典型。

16-year-old Lauryn from northwest England tweeted during the weekend, “I'm trying to revise but instead I decided to see how many pens I can hold with my head.” This was taken as an apparent challenge by her friend Rebzy, another 16-year-old from Scotland, who tried to shove even more pens up her nose.
16歲的勞琳住在英格蘭東北部。她周末發(fā)推稱：“我本來想復習功課的，但突然想試試我的頭究竟能放多少支筆。”她朋友萊博茲顯然把這個突發(fā)奇想當成了一項挑戰(zhàn)，于是在自己鼻子的幫助下，頂起了更多支筆。萊博茲同為16歲，家住蘇格蘭。

In a series of escalating images, Twitter users were amazed to see how much stationery a human head can actually hold.
隨著分享的圖片不斷增多、挑戰(zhàn)升級，推特用戶們開始驚訝于“腦袋頂文具”的無限潛力。

Lauryn got a headband and stuck as many pens as she could into it, topping out at 179 pens and three rulers. But she soon bowed down to Rebzy, who ended up with a total of 242 pens stuck up her face.
勞琳戴上發(fā)帶之后，創(chuàng)造了新紀錄——179支筆，外加三個尺子。不過她不久就被萊博茲超越了：后者能達到頭插242支筆。

While fitting such a large number of writing utensils on one's face is certainly an insane feat, perhaps the most impressive part of the challenge, as one Twitter user pointed out, is that Rebzy had 242 pens in her possession.
能在臉上安插這么多書寫工具已堪稱奇觀，不過正如推特網(wǎng)友們所說，或許其最讓人驚嘆的部分在于：萊博茲竟然擁有242支筆。
