1 – World’s smallest gun that fires deadly 270mph bullets
1 - 世界上最小的手枪,能射出121米/秒的致命子弹
The SwissMiniGun is the size of a key fob but fires tiny 270mph bullets powerful enough to kill at close range.
  瑞士迷你枪只有一个钥匙扣那么大,但是却能射出121米/秒的小子弹,近距离内威力足以致命。
Officially the world’s smallest working revolver, the gun is being marketed as a collector’s item and measures just 2.16 inches long (5.5cm). It can fire real 4.53 bullets up to a range of 367ft (112m).
  这种枪被公认为是世界上最小的能用的左轮手枪,它被作为收藏品出售,其长度只有2.16英寸长(5.5厘米)。它可以发射4.53毫米口径的真子弹,最远射程可达到367英尺(112米)。
The stainless steel gun costs £3,000 although the manufacturers also produce extravagant, made-to-order versions made out of 18-carat gold with customised diamond studs which sell for up to £30,000.
  这种用不锈钢材料制成的枪售价3000英镑,不过厂家也生产奢华的定制版,那就是用18K黄金打造,镶上定制的钻石作为装饰,其售价则飙升到3万英镑。

The world’s smallest fish has been discovered in the peat swamps of the Indonesian Island of Sumatra. The picture on the right shows its size against a thumb. At maturity, the fish can be about 7.9 mm in length.

4 – World’s Smallest Horse
4 – 世界上最小的马
Thumbelina, officially the world’s smallest horse stands at an astounding 17 inches tall. She was born on a farm in America to a couple specialising in breeding miniature horses. Thumbelina was a dwarf among the dwarves, which her owner calls it a complete fluke. Normal horses lives to about 35 years while she is only likely to live for 17 years.
  “拇指姑娘”以惊人的17英寸高(43.2厘米)正式成为世界上最小的马。它出生在美国的一个农场,主人是一对专门培育小型马的夫妇。“拇指姑娘”是这些矮马当中的小矮马,而它的主人说这完全是偶然。正常的马可以活到大约35年,而它可能只能活到17年。
5 – World’s Smallest Dog
5 - 世界上最小的狗
Tiny Pinnochio is possibly the world’s smallest dog weighing at one pound and only the size of a coke can. She had been on Oprah’s show in the past and rose to stardom. However she is not alive anymore where her owner found her dead after overeating herself to death. Here is the rant of mudpiglet regarding the ordeal of the dog.
  小小的“皮诺丘”可能是世界上最小的狗,它1磅(450克),只有可乐罐大小。她曾在奥普拉(译者注:美国著名电视访谈节目主持人)的节目中亮相并一跃成为明星。不过它已经死了——吃的太多撑死了。点击这儿可以看到mudpiglet网站上的网友们纷纷指责小狗遭受的不幸。
6 – World’s Smallest Burger

7 – World’s Smallest Baby
7 - 世界上最小的婴儿
Meet Amillia Taylor – or what she looked like on October 24th 2006 , when she was born as the world’s youngest surviving premature baby. Amillia was born at a Miami hospital after less than 22 weeks of development.  Is there nothing more amazing than those teeny tiny translucent feet. Hold your own hand out in front of you, and imagine those feet poking through your fingers. She was 10 OUNCES when born (280 grams), and 9.5 inches (240 cm). That’s just longer than the length of your hand.
  看看阿米莉亚.泰勒,看看她2006年10月24日刚出生的样子,她是世界上存活的最小的早产儿。阿米莉亚在母亲怀孕不到22周的时候就在迈阿密的一个医院出生了。没有什么比这小的不得了的半透明的脚丫更令人惊讶的了......把你自己的手放在前面,想象下夹在你手缝里的一双小脚丫。她出生的时候重10盎司(280克),身高9.5英寸(24厘米)。这只是比你的手更长点儿。
8 – Smallest Teapot In The World
8 - 世界上最小的茶壶
The world’s smallest teapot made of ceramic is created by 73 year old Chinese renowned pottery master, Wu Ruishen. Weighing at just 1.4 grams this is no easy feat since clay would not be easy to mold at such scale and has to be functional as a teapot as well.

10 - 世界上最小也是最奇妙的艺术品
Born in 1957 in Birmingham, Willard Wigan MBE began his artistic life at a tender age. Suffering from dyslexia and learning difficulties, he struggled at school, finding solace in creating art of such minute proportions that it virtually could not be seen with the naked eye.
  英帝国勋章获得者威拉德.维根在1957年出生于伯明翰,他小小年纪就开始了自己的艺术生涯。因为阅读障碍和学习困难的缘故,在学校里他努力制作这种微小艺术品以寻求慰藉,这些艺术品小到几乎无法用肉眼看到
He’s sculptures are so small they can rest on the head of a pin or in the eye of a needle, like his Statue of Liberty sculpture
  他的雕塑是如此的小,都可以放在一个针头上或在放在针眼里,就像他的这个自由女神像。
