原文:
A team of Japanese scientists who discovered mammals can breathe through their butts — a procedure that could eventually help sick humans get oxygen — received a top “honor” at a the Ig Nobel Prize parody ceremony Thursday.
The research team, led by Ryo Okabe and Takanori Takebe, took home the so-called Ig Nobel Prize in physiology for revealing that animals such as mice, rats and pigs can absorb oxygen into their bloodstream via their rectums, the Guardian reported.
At the quirky annual ceremony — which is not affiliated with the actual Nobel Prize — scientists win awards for achievements that “first make people laugh, and then make them think.”

一个日本科学家团队发现哺乳动物可以通过屁股呼吸——这一技术未来或将帮助重症患者获取氧气。该研究团队在周四的“搞笑诺贝尔奖”颁奖典礼上获得了最高“荣誉”。
据《卫报》报道,由冈部亮(Ryo Okabe)和武部贵则(Takanori Takebe)带领的研究团队因发现小鼠、大鼠和猪等动物可以通过直肠将氧气吸收到血液中而获得了所谓的“搞笑诺贝尔奖”生理学奖。
这个古怪的年度颁奖典礼与实际的诺贝尔奖无关,科学家们因其“既让人发笑,又引发思考”的成就而获奖。
