北京1500人雾霾天拼"肺"图案 打破吉尼斯纪录

Volunteers wearing red and blue raincoats stand in formation to create a pair of human lungs on Sunday in Beijing to promote environmental protection awareness.

周日，北京一组志愿者身穿红色和蓝色雨衣形成人体肺叶图，以此来促进环保意识的提高。

About 1,500 people in Beijing braved heavy smog Sunday to form an image of giant lungs in a move to raise awareness of air pollution and respiratory health.

大约有1500名志愿者不顾雾霾的笼罩，勇敢站在路上形成巨大的肺部形状，以此来提高人们对大气污染和呼吸道健康的意识。

The Guinness World Records-setting event was criticized by some on Chinese social media, who argued organizers had put the participants' health at risk.

一些中国社会媒体批评了吉尼斯世界纪录的组织者，说道组织者这样的行为没有顾及到参与者的健康。

The group of university students and other volunteers collected at the Beijing Garden Expo to endure what the local environmental bureau labeled a "heavily polluted" day, the Beijing Youth Daily reported.

北京每日青年报报道，一些大学学生和其他志愿者集聚在北京园林博览会，一起来经受被环保部门认为“最严重污染日”的折磨。

An organizer of the event, surnamed Chen, said the date was scheduled a month earlier and the heavy smog was a coincidence.

这件事的组织者之一，姓陈，说道这件事早在一个月之前就预计好了，而重度雾霾只是巧合。

A representative for Guinness, named only as "Dunn" in reports, announced the new record at around 3:10 pm, breaking the previous record for "Largest human image of an organ" set by 982 people in Gurgaon, Haryana, India, on February 22.

一位吉尼斯纪录组织代表Dunn 表示说，当天下午3点10分，这些志愿者打破了世界纪录，超越了2月22日在印度Haryana的Haryana由 982人组成的“最大的人体器官图”纪录。

Despite the record, some participants were thinking more about their own lungs.

尽管赢得了最高纪录，一些参与者在考虑自己的肺部健康问题。

"Standing outside for hours on such a polluted day isn't good for the lungs," said a 40-something participant surnamed Lin. Another said participants were not allowed to wear masks during the event.

“在重度雾霾天气下，站在户外几个小时，这对肺很不好，”一位约40岁左右的姓林的参与者说道。另一位志愿者说，在这个活动中，参与者是不允许戴口罩的。

Some at the scene questioned the effectiveness and aim of the activity. "I don't know if getting a Guinness record has any real significance," said one witness.

一些在场的人员质疑这个活动的效果和目的。“我不知道赢得世界纪录是否会有实质的重要影响。”一位目击者说道。
