一项名为“佛罗里达州人”的挑战游戏风靡全美。挑战者在搜索引擎中输入“佛罗里达州人和自己的生日”,并把搜索结果的头条新闻发布在自己的社交媒体上。

The game 'Florida Man' has gone viral in the US. The challenge started with a simple game: type "Florida Man" followed by your birthday to find out what headline turns up.

据《今日美国》报道,这一挑战刷爆社交媒体,因为佛罗里达州当地居民一次又一次地凭借着自己匪夷所思的行径“夺人眼球”。

According to USA Today, the challenge became a social media joke that plays upon the plight of Florida residents who find themselves in strange predicaments.

“佛罗里达人”是2013年流行起来的网络表情包,在许多不相关的新闻文章中,“佛罗里达人”一词被解读为一种笨手笨脚的超级英雄,而并非是指居住在佛罗里达的某个真实人物。

Florida Man is an Internet meme, popularized in 2013, in which the phrase “Florida Man” is interpreted as the name of a fumbling superhero in multiple unrelated news articles, rather than a description of various actual people who hail from or live in Florida.

“佛罗里达人”表情包起源于推特账号@_FloridaMan,它引用了包含“佛罗里达人”字样的新闻标题,比如“佛罗里达人被货车碾压,因为他的狗踩了油门”或者“警察逮捕了在沃尔玛超市醉驾电动滑板车的佛罗里达人”。

The meme was originated in February 2013 by the Twitter feed @_FloridaMan, which quoted news headlines containing the words "Florida man", such as "Florida man run over by van after dog pushes accelerator" or "Police arrest Florida man for drunken joy ride on motorized scooter at Wal-Mart."

“胖友们,用佛罗里达人+你的生日做关键词进行搜索,告诉大家,那天佛州人又怎样作妖了?比如我,8月22日:佛罗里达男子试图用拖拉机袭击自己的邻居。”

自从在网上发起这项挑战,“佛罗里达州人”游戏就这么愈演愈烈,一发不可收拾。
