这个孩子用脚解魔方，并保持世界纪录

He’s ready to square off.

他已经准备好了。

Daniel Rose-Levine, 16, holds the Guinness World Record for solving a Rubik’s cube — with his feet. The upstate Red Hook, NY, teen can do it in 16.9 seconds, or as long as it takes some people to put on shoes and lace them up.

16岁的丹尼尔·罗斯·莱文(DanielRoseLevine)拥有用脚解魔方的吉尼斯世界纪录。纽约州北部的红钩青少年可以在16.9秒内完成这项任务，也就是穿上鞋子系上鞋带的功夫。

This coming Saturday, he welcomes anyone to challenge him at the New York City Math Festival, put on by the National Museum of Mathematics at Liberty Plaza in downtown Manhattan.

这个星期六，在由曼哈顿市中心自由广场的国家数学博物馆举办的数学节上，他欢迎任何人来挑战他。

“I’m not worried about anyone beating me,” he told The Post. “The only way someone can beat me is if I mess up or get extremely unlucky.”

“我不担心有人打败我，”他告诉邮报。“唯一能打败我的方法就是我自己搞砸了，或者非常倒霉。”

Rose-Levine first mastered the cube, using his hands, at age 11. After seeing other kids solve it at math camp, he taught himself by watching YouTube endlessly — much to his parents’ chagrin.

罗斯·莱文在11岁时用手首次掌握了魔方。在数学训练营看到其他孩子解决了这个问题后，他不断地看YouTube，这让他父母很懊恼。

“They told me to do other things, but I was obsessed,” he said. His top time got to 5.3 seconds and he has more than 15 cubing-competition wins under his belt. (The current world record for solving by hand is 3.47 seconds, held by Yusheng Du from China.)

“他们让我做其他事情，但我被迷住了，”他说。他的最高成绩是5.3秒，他已经赢得了超过15项魔方比赛的冠军。(目前的世界纪录是3.47秒，由中国选手杜玉生保持。)

But it came with a price: Clicking and clacking for five hours a day led to a painful repetitive-stress injury at age 14.

但这是有代价的：在14岁的时候，每天5个小时的咔哒咔哒，导致14岁时他重复性压力损伤。

“I concentrated on doing it with my feet to give my hands a rest,” said Rose-Levine.

罗斯-莱文说:“我开始集中精力用脚做这个动作，让我的手得到休息。”

“I am not a particularly good dancer,” Rose-Levine admitted. “Sometimes people ask for an autograph and they want me to sign my name with my toes. I tell them that I don’t know how.”

“我不是好的舞者，”罗斯-莱文承认。“有时候人们想要我用脚趾头签名，我告诉他们我不会。”
