年搞笑諾貝爾獎得主出爐：奇葩得笑哭了

Rats in tiny trousers, pseudoscientific bullshit, the personalities of rocks, and Volkswagen’s, shall we say, “creative” approach to emissions testing were among the research topics honored by the 2016 Ig Nobel Prizes. The winners were announced last night at a live webcast ceremony held at Harvard University.
穿着小褲子的老鼠、僞科學胡扯、石頭的個性和大衆在尾氣排放測試中富有創造性的方法，這些都是2016搞笑諾貝爾獎的得獎研究課題。昨晚，在哈佛大學舉行的網上直播儀式中，搞笑諾貝爾獎的得主一一揭開了神祕的面紗。

This year’s crop of Ig Nobel Laureates is listed below. Those who attended the ceremony were given just 60 seconds for their acceptance speeches, a longstanding rule that was, as always, vigorously enforced (the Oscars could learn a thing or two from the Ig Nobels).
