A British chef who ate the world's hottest noodles - 4,000 times stronger than Tabasco sauce - went deaf for two minutes.
一个英国厨师吃了世界上最辣的面条——比塔巴斯科辣沙司还要辣4000倍——出现了两分钟的失聪。

Ben Sumadiwiria, 22, from London, found the dish at a tiny back street restaurant in Jakarta, Indonesia.The ‘death noodles’ have 100 bird’s eye chilies crushed together giving it a Scoville rating of 20 million - compared with hot Tabasco which is just 5,000 on the scale.
来自伦敦22岁的Ben Sumadiwiria在印尼雅加达的一个小街上发现了这种食物。这种“死亡面条”将整整100个鸟眼辣椒捣碎在一起，相比于热塔巴斯科只有5000的量相比“死亡面条”的史高维尔指数高达20000。

After Ben scoffed the noodles he started sweating, became dizzy, had to soak his head in water and even went deaf for two minutes.
本来对这个面条嗤之以鼻的Ben刚吃几口就开始出汗并且头晕，不得不将头浸在水里，甚至在长达两分钟时间里听不到任何声音。

The chef said: “This was definitely the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten. And some locals can even finish a whole plate, which is just crazy.
这个厨师说“这绝对是至今为止吃过的最辣的东西”，一些当地人甚至可以吃下一整盘，这简直太不可思议了。

“I’m not really partial to spicy food but when somebody throws down a challenge I just can’t say no”.
“我并不喜欢是特别喜欢吃辣的食物，但是有人向我发出挑战，我不能拒绝。”

"I went temporarily deaf and my mouth was burning for hours afterwards.”
“我出现了短暂的失聪，我的嘴唇在随后的几个小时里都感觉在燃烧。”

Ben, a full-time chef who has Indonesian parents and was visiting family in the area, paid 34 Indonesian Rupees (2p) for the plate of noodles and a fried egg.
Ben是一名全职厨师，他的父母是印尼人，这次他是来探亲的。他花34卢比买了这盘面条和一个煎蛋。

Ben became so hot after eating the noodles he had to take off his shirt and hold his head under water to cool off.
吃过面条后Ben感到非常热，他不得不脱掉衬衫并且把头放在水下冷却。

The 22-year-old downed half-a-dozen glasses of water, milkshake and ate a cold banana but was still dizzy from the intense heat in his mouth.
这个22岁的年轻人喝了6杯水，吃了奶昔和冰香蕉，但是仍然感觉嘴中强烈的辣味。
