The world’s most pierced woman has added yet more metal to her body bringing the grand total to more than 6,000.

When first recognised by Guinness World Records in 2000, Elaine Davidson had 462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone. Now, nine years later, she has 6,005 including more than 1,500 that are “internal.”

However, Miss Davidson, born in Brazil, claims she doesn’t like being pierced, and suffers for her art. She is a nurse who now lives in Edinburgh. (Daily Telegraph)

世上最多穿刺的女性已在她身上添加更多的金屬，使得總數達到逾6,000件。

在2000年首次獲得世界金氏記錄認證時，伊蓮˙大衛森只有462個穿刺，光是臉部就有192個。9年後的今天，她身上的穿刺已達到6,005個，包括逾1,500個「內在的」穿刺。

然而，巴西出生的大衛森小姐宣稱她並不喜歡被穿刺，是為藝術受苦。她是護士，目前住在英國愛丁堡。(每日電訊報)

《字詞解析》

yet more — (adj.) 更多的。可以修飾比較級的副詞除了 yet 外，還有 even, far, by far, much, still 等。

like being pierced — (v.) 喜歡被穿刺。動詞 like 後面可接動名詞或不定詞，所以 like being pierced 可改為 like to be pierced。

Croatians on Feb. 14 cooked up what they claim to be the world’s longest sausage, measuring 530 metres (1,738 feet). Hundreds of locals gathered in the main square of Vinkovci in the country’s east and grilled the giant sausage, made with 400 kilogrammes of pork, 10 kilos of salt, 2.5 kilos of spices and 3.5 kilos of garlic.

Organisers said the sausage was the world’s longest and could feed as many as 3,000 people, but adding it was merely “training” for next year when they plan to produce a sausage measuring 1,000 metres. According to the Guinness Book of Records the longest-ever sausage made so far measured 392 metres and was made in Romania in December last year. (AFP)

克羅埃西亞民眾2月14日燒烤出他們宣稱的世界最長的香腸，長度達530公尺 (1,738英尺)。該國東部溫克夫奇鎮數百位居民聚集在該鎮大廣場燒烤這條巨大的香腸 – 製作這條香腸共用掉400公斤的豬肉，10公斤的鹽巴，2.5公斤的調味料和3.5公斤的大蒜。

主辦人員表示，這是世界最長的香腸，可讓3,000人食用，但表示這只是為明年所做的「訓練」，屆時他們計畫製作出一條長達1,000公尺的香腸。根據金氏世界記錄，截至目前所製作的歷來最長的香腸為392公尺，是去年12月在羅馬尼亞製作的。(法新社)
