假人挑戰(zhàn)風(fēng)靡網(wǎng)絡(luò)

This is What's Trending Today.

這里是今日熱點(diǎn)節(jié)目。

A mannequin is a plastic model used in clothing stores.

假人是指服裝店用的塑料模型。

A storeowner puts clothing on the mannequin to show shoppers how the clothing looks on the human body. Unlike a human being that moves, the mannequins stay in one place.

店主將衣服穿到假人身上，向購(gòu)物者展示衣服穿到人身上是什么樣子。不像人類會(huì)動(dòng)，假人靜止不動(dòng)。

Starting in late October, videos with the hashtag #MannequinChallenge started coming out on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

從10月下旬開(kāi)始，標(biāo)注假人挑戰(zhàn)標(biāo)簽的視頻開(kāi)始在YouTube、Facebook和Twitter上出現(xiàn)。

The videos show people freezing in place while the camera moves around them. In the background, you sometimes can hear a song called "Black Beatles" by the hip-hop group Rae Sremmurd.

這些視頻展示了人們?cè)谙鄼C(jī)移動(dòng)拍攝期間靜止不動(dòng)。有時(shí)候還可以在背景音樂(lè)中聽(tīng)到嘻哈樂(lè)隊(duì) Rae Sremmurd 演唱的這首《Black Beatles》。

At first, high school students and college sports teams were doing the Mannequin Challenge. One story about the development of the video trend says a Twitter user posted the first Mannequin Challenge video on October 26. It showed some students at a high school in Florida.

起初是高中生和大學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)隊(duì)在進(jìn)行假人挑戰(zhàn)。一篇關(guān)于這一視頻趨勢(shì)的發(fā)展歷程的新聞表示，10月26日某位推特用戶發(fā)布了第一個(gè)假人挑戰(zhàn)視頻，視頻內(nèi)容是佛羅里達(dá)州一所高中的一些學(xué)生。

Then it started to catch on. Hillary Clinton did a video on her airplane on November 8.

然后它開(kāi)始流行開(kāi)來(lái)。希拉里于11月8日在飛機(jī)上拍了一則視頻。

Just two days later, the NBA champion basketball team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, visited President Barack Obama at the White House. While the players were there, they made a Mannequin Challenge video with Michelle Obama.

就在兩天后，NBA總冠軍克利夫蘭騎士隊(duì)到白宮拜訪了奧巴馬。這些球員在白宮期間同米歇爾拍攝了一則假人挑戰(zhàn)視頻。

LeBron James was not perfect, however. He blinked his eyes when the camera passed by. He posed taking a selfie with Michelle Obama.

然而詹姆斯表現(xiàn)不夠完美，當(dāng)相機(jī)拍過(guò)去時(shí)他眨了眨眼睛。他擺出了同米歇爾自拍的姿勢(shì)。

Other sports teams have done videos, too.

其它體育明星也拍了視頻。

The Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League, or NFL, did a video that showed players talking to media members, along with other locker room scenes.

美國(guó)橄欖球聯(lián)盟(NFL)的匹茲堡鋼人隊(duì)也拍了一則視頻，視頻展示了球員們同媒體人士交談，以及其它更衣室場(chǎng)景。

The challenge seems like fun for the participants and viewers. But not everyone is impressed by them.

這類挑戰(zhàn)似乎對(duì)參與者和觀眾來(lái)說(shuō)都很有趣。但是并非每個(gè)人都對(duì)此印象深刻。

For example, the Spanish national soccer team posted a video after its game with England on Tuesday night. During the game, England scored a goal and did the Mannequin Challenge on the field as part of its celebration.

例如，西班牙國(guó)足在周二晚上同英國(guó)隊(duì)比賽后發(fā)布了一則視頻。在比賽期間，英格蘭隊(duì)進(jìn)了個(gè)球，并在場(chǎng)上進(jìn)行假人挑戰(zhàn)作為進(jìn)球慶?；顒?dòng)的一部分。

Neither team succeeded in winning the game, which ended in a 2-2 tie.

兩隊(duì)都沒(méi)能贏得比賽，這場(chǎng)比賽以2：2的平局結(jié)束。

One sports newspaper from Spain said the video was better than the team's performance on the field.

西班牙一家體育報(bào)紙表示，該視頻比球隊(duì)在場(chǎng)上(踢球)的表現(xiàn)要更好。

And that's What's Trending Today.
