Dutch television hosts Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno have done some pretty wild things for their show "Guinea Pigs." (In 2011, they ate each other's flesh in front of a live audience。) But the duo's latest escapade had them yelling and clutching their abdomens in agony when they opted to experience simulated labor contractions。荷兰电视节目《小白鼠》的两位主持人丹尼斯·斯特罗姆和瓦雷里奥·泽诺，在节目中曾经做过一些挺疯狂的事情(2011年他们在直播观众面前进食了对方的肉)，但是这个二人组最近的冒险行为痛得他们又是叫又是抓——他们这次试验的内容是模拟分娩。

　　In a video clip from the show, Storm and Zeno reveal why they took on this particular challenge, explaining that giving birth is the worst pain there is. However, since men can't feel labor pains, the two men used electro-stimulations to simulate contractions so they could experience the distress for themselves。节目的一个剪辑片段中，斯特罗姆和泽诺透露了他们这次挑战的原因，他们解释说分娩是人类能体验到的最痛的事。不过男人不能体会生育的痛苦，因此这两个男人就决定用电刺激的方法来模拟生育过程，自己体验一下生孩子的痛苦。

　　"Do you think the pain will make us scream," Zeno asks before the shocks begin。“你觉得我们会痛到叫起来吗？”泽诺在接上电极之前询问。

　　One of the nurses responds bluntly: "Yes, it definitely will." She wasn't lying。其中一名护士坦白说：“会，当然会。” 事实证明护士所言非虚。

　　Propped on a bed with electrodes

　　attached to their abdomens, Storm and Zeno last through two hours of the simulated contractions. Though they try to laugh through the strain, the men appear to be in complete misery as they double over and clutch pillows tightly。他们靠在床上，电极连在腹部，撑过了两个小时的模拟分娩。他们本来打算大笑着度过分娩的过程，然而这两个男人却弓着身子，紧紧抓着枕头，看起来一副惨相。

　　While the time span

　　of the simulation was much shorter than many instances of real-life labor, Storm and Zeno appeared to get the full experience. In the end, Zeno sums up the challenge as torture and wonders if he wants his wife to go through the same pain。斯特罗姆和泽诺模拟分娩的时间要比现实中分娩的时间短得多，不过他们好像已经完全体会到分娩的过程了。最后，泽诺总结道这次挑战是在是个折磨，他在考虑还要不要让他妻子接受同样的痛苦。

　　This isn't the first time a male TV show host has tested his pain threshold by experiencing faux labor pains。这已经不是第一次男主持人在电视节目上模拟分娩，来体验人类能承受痛苦的极限了。

　　In 2009, Dr. Andrew Rochford went through the entire childbirth experience during a similar simulation for Australian TV show "What's Good For You."2009年，安德鲁·罗奇福德博士在澳大利亚电视节目“What's Good For You”上接受了类似的模拟，体验了分娩的全过程。

　　After more than two hours of contractions, Rochford started using some choice words, explaining that he could now "understand why women swear."分娩体验过程两个多小时之后，罗奇福德开始骂了几句。他解释说，他现在可以“明白为什么女人要骂人了”。
