[激動的人] 卡羅萊納死神辣椒！

[Camera Man] Go ahead and put it in your mouth.

[攝影師] 來吧，把辣椒放到你嘴裡

[Narrator] Since the first time it was announced

to the public that we were growing these, there were

literally thousands of YouTube videos of people eating

就有數以千計的 YouTube 影片顯示人們

在世界各地吃卡羅萊納死神辣椒

Though it can be unpleasant, it's not a dangerous thing

雖然吃起來很不舒服，但是吃超級辣的辣椒並不危險

[Narrator] It's a chemical reaction your brain perceives

[旁白] 這是你大腦感知到的化學反應

I got into breeding peppers in college and just really

was interested in getting hotter and hotter peppers once I tried them.

一旦嘗試過後，我就對種植更辣的辣椒很感興趣

Guinness awarded me the world record for the hottest pepper in November of 2013.

金氏世界紀錄頒給我在 2013 年十一月最辣辣椒的世界紀錄

To breed these things, I crossed a ghost pepper

為了培育這些辣椒，我用魔鬼辣椒

with a habanero, and what came out was this evil

和哈瓦那辣椒雜交繁殖，結果出來的是一種外表邪惡

looking pepper that had warts all over it,

And the first time I tasted it, it knocked me to my knees.

我第一次嚐完這種辣椒，根本無法站穩

We get our peppers tested regularly at Winthrop University by doctor Calloway in the chemistry lab.

我們在溫思羅普大學用 Calloway 醫生的化學實驗室定期檢驗辣椒

All peppers are measured by Scoville heat units,

所有辣椒都是由史高維爾指標來測量的

Bell peppers have zero Scoville heat units.

Jalapeño is about 5,000, a Serrano 20,000,

墨西哥辣椒大約 5,000，塞拉諾辣椒 20,000

red habaneros 200,000, ghost peppers 600,000,

哈瓦那辣椒 200,000，魔鬼辣椒 600,000

which is 1,569,000 heat units, the hottest thing in the world.

得到 1,569,000 的指標，全世界最辣的辣椒

When you eat the Carolina Reaper, the first sensation

當你吃下卡羅萊納死神辣椒，你得到的第一個感覺

you get is sweet, and then all of a sudden the heat

starts going, it's like burning, burning, burning!

Your eyes will bloodshot, they just start

tearing up and watering, the skin flushes,

眼裡會含淚開始哭泣，皮膚潮紅

you start breathing hard, your metabolism

你開始呼吸困難，你的新陳代謝

Some people say it's like eating molten lava.

Others will say it's like licking the sun.

To me, it's like eating a charcoal briquette

對我來說，這就像吃了一個炭塊

and no matter what you do you cannot get that burn

不管你做什麼都不能讓這種燃燒的感覺

A lot of what I do is creative expression.

我做的很多事情都是創造性的表達

You look for traits in one pepper, and you look

for traits in another and you try to combine them

又在另一個辣椒身上看到特色，然後你試著把這兩種辣椒

There are other breeders who are trying to break our record,

還有其他育種家試圖打破我們的記錄

but, uh, we've been holding unreleased peppers in our back pocket

但是，呃，我們在後面的口袋裡藏著未發行的辣椒

that are twice as hot or more than the Carolina Reaper

that we could submit to Guinness at any time.

我們隨時可以交給金氏世界紀錄

My perception of what the limits are, of how hot

you can breed a pepper has changed as the science

Just tell me something can't be done, I'm gonna figure

如果你告訴我有些事就是辦不到，我會
