The world's strongest insect is a type of male dung beetlewhich needs its power to be able to mate with females in animal faeces, British and Australian scientists said Wednesday.

　　英國和澳大利亞科學家本周三稱，全世界力量最大的昆蟲是一種雄性屎殼郎，這種屎殼郎需要很大的力量才能在動物糞便中與雌性屎殼郎交配。

　　Onthophagus taurus can pull 1,141 times its own body weight -- the equivalent of a 70-kilogramme (154-pound) person being able to lift 80 tonnes, the weight of six double-decker buses.

　　屎殼郎可拖動相當于其身體重量1141倍的物體，這相當于一個體重70公斤（154磅）的人能舉起重達80噸的六輛雙層巴士。

　　The extraordinary strength of many of the beetles is due to their unusual mating arrangements.

　　很多這種屎殼郎的驚人力量源于它們特殊的交配形式。
