500根橡皮筋引爆西瓜 慢鏡頭的世界很精彩
Reality always look better in slow motion. Even the most humdrum events can seem like the most dramatic moment of an action film.
慢鏡頭中的世界總會顯得更加精彩，即使是最無聊的事也可能變得像是動作片的精彩鏡頭。This certainly seems to the opinion of the 'Slow Mo Guys', who decided to wrap hundreds and hundreds of elastic bands around a watermelon, bracing themselves for the moment the combined pressure leads a dramatic explosion and red faces all around.
"slow mo guys"二人組貌似也是這嗎想。他們這次決定用上百條橡皮筋捆綁一個西瓜，壓力會引起西瓜爆炸，果肉滿天飛。The pair - famed for their love of slow-motion destruction - spent 20 minutes wrapping the bands around the fruit, and then recorded the action with a camera that can take 1,600 images per second.
這個二人組正是因爲他們所熱愛的慢鏡頭破壞視頻而紅遍網絡。他們花了20分鐘的時間把橡皮筋套在西瓜上，然後用每秒能拍1600張照片的照相機記錄下了爆炸的瞬間。
They used a Phantom Flex camera to record the action, which provided them with high-definition footage to keep for posterity.
他們用Phantom Flex高速攝影機記錄下這個畫面，這臺攝影機爲他們記錄下了高分辨率的影像資料。The video is part of a series of slow-motion videos, 61 in total, posted by the pair on their YouTube video.
這個視頻是他們一系列的慢鏡頭動作影片之一，他們一共製作了有61個視頻，全部放在了Youtube視頻網站上。Previously they have tackled a computer with a sledgehammer, played golf with an apple, and exploded 'bottle-bombs', capturing each moment at a fraction of the pace of real life.
先前他們用一個大錘破壞了一個電腦，用蘋果玩高爾夫，還有瓶子炸彈，把這些時刻當作真實生活的碎片捕捉了下來。The pair do not go to lengths to explain their motivations or what the audience is witnessing. Instead they seem to enjoy nothing more than watching everyday objects explode in super slow motion.
這兩個人從來沒有想過去解釋他們的動機，或者去在意哪些人會看他們的視頻。事實上，他們只是享受與在慢鏡頭中看東西爆炸的樣子。But that is part of the beauty of science - sometimes there doesn't need to be a reason, other than watching life from a new perspective.
但這也正是科學的美妙之處：有些事情並不需要理由，只是爲了從另一個角度去品味生活而已。
