American Vlogger died blocking bullets with a book

Recently, American prosecutors released a video showing how Petro, a 22-year-old vlogger, courted death as he set out to test if he could successfully block bullets with books. This was supposed to be a stunning scheme to attract more fans. He made his 20 year-old girlfriend aim at an encyclopedia he held at his chest – and shoot. He was killed instantly on the spot with 「Desert Hawk」, reputedly one of the world』s most powerful handguns.

點評：

譯文一流暢自然，基本反映了原文所包含的信息，但針對「作死」一詞採取了釋義法，與原文題材不符。

譯文二利用英文所特有的表達方式，力求保持新聞類文稿短小精鍊的語言特性，另將「用書擋子彈」譯作block bullets with books，取得押頭韻bbb的效果，增強了譯文可讀性。

關鍵詞：
