I got into breeding peppers in college and just really was interested in getting hotter and hotter peppers once I tried them.
大学的时候我就开始种植辣椒，那时还只是在吃过辣椒之后想要更辣更辣的辣椒
Guinness awarded me the world record for the hottest pepper in November of 2013.
To breed these things, I crossed a ghost pepper with a habanero,
为了种植这些辣椒，我从一个哈瓦那人那里弄到了魔鬼辣椒
and what came out was this evil looking pepper that had warts all over it, blisters they call them.
结果就研发出了这种长相邪恶，浑身是疣的辣椒，人们称这种辣椒为水泡

We get our peppers tested regularly at Winthrop University by doctor Calloway in the chemistry lab.

All peppers are measured by Scoville heat units, which tell you how hot the pepper is.
所有的辣椒都用辣度单位史高维尔来进行测量，通过测量可以得知这个辣椒到底有多辣
Bell peppers have zero Scoville heat units.
灯笼椒的辣度为0史高维尔。
Jalapeno is about 5,000, a Serrano 20,000, red habaneros 200,000, ghost peppers 600,000,
哈雷派尼奥辣椒大约5000史高维尔，赛拉诺辣椒是20000史高维尔，哈瓦那辣椒是200000史高维尔，魔鬼辣椒是600000史高维尔
then you get to the Carolina Reaper, which is 1,569,000 heat units, the hottest thing in the world.
接下来是卡罗莱纳死神辣椒，达到了1569000史高维尔，是世界上最辣的辣椒。
When you eat the Carolina Reaper, the first sensation you get is sweet,
吃卡罗莱纳死神辣椒的时候，一开始你会觉得有点儿甜，
and then all of a sudden the heat starts going, it's like burning, burning, burning!
之后辣味突然爆发，感觉要着火了，要着火，要着火了。
Then the physiological stuff starts.
之后开始出现生理反应。
Your eyes will bloodshot, they just start tearing up and watering.
眼睛开始充血，你开始不停地流泪。
The skin flushes, you start breathing hard, your metabolism starts raising up.

Some people say it's like eating molten lava. Others will say it's like licking the sun.
有人说感觉像吃了熔岩。也有人说像是在舔太阳。
To me, it's like eating a charcoal briquette,
对我来说，就像是吃下了一个煤球
and no matter what you do you, cannot get that burn out of the back of your mouth. I mean it's crazy.
不管做什么，你就是没有办法消除你嘴里的辣。我想说，那简直太疯狂了。
A lot of what I do is creative expression.
我做的很多事情都是比较有创意的。
You look for traits in one pepper, and you look for traits in another,
你发现这种辣椒有这些特点，那种辣椒有那些特点，
and you try to combine them and keep both those traits.
接着，你尝试把它们的特点合二为一。
There are other breeders who are trying to break our record,
也有其他种植辣椒的人想打破我们的纪录，
but, uh, we've been holding unreleased peppers in our back pocket
但是，嗯，我们已经研发出了新的辣椒，只是还没有公开，
that are twice as hot or more than the Carolina Reaper
其辣度是死神辣椒的2倍以上
that we could submit to Guinness at any time.
我们随时都准备向吉尼斯申请世界纪录。
My perception of what the limits are of how hot you can breed a pepper has changed as the science has progressed over the years.
这些年随着科技的发展，对辣椒的辣度所能达到的极限，我的感觉已经变了。
Just tell me something can't be done, I'm gonna figure out a way to do it.
只要你告诉我一件不可能的事，我就想出办法把它变成可能。
