A whiz kid is about to achieve something no human ever has done before.
一名神童即将完成人类从未完成过的事情。
13-year-old Willis Gibson is on level 157 of the classic video game Tetris, when Tetris tosses in the towel.
13岁的威利斯·吉布森正在玩经典电子游戏《俄罗斯方块》的第157关,而随后,《俄罗斯方块》竟然认输了。
That's right, Willis played so well he caused the game to crash.
没错,威利斯打得实在是太好了,导致这款游戏崩溃了。
"Oh, my God!"

Since Tetris came out in the mid-1980s and until Willis came along, only artificial intelligence could outsmart the grueling game.
自20世纪80年代中期《俄罗斯方块》问世以来,在威利斯出现之前,只有人工智能才能胜过这款令人筋疲力尽的游戏。
Willis's mom Karen says he's so obsessed with Tetris.

They lug around a heavy old-fashioned TV, so he can play the retro game.
他们会随身拖着一台笨重的老式电视,这样威利斯就可以玩上这款复古游戏了。
"When we go visit family, we drag the big TV and everything else down there, so he can practice while he's there and participate in tournaments."
“当我们去拜访家人时,我们会把大电视和其他所有东西拖到人家家里,这样他就可以在那里练习和参加比赛了。”
So, an epic battle of kid versus machine with the kid coming out on top.
所以,这场孩子与机器的史诗般的对决,以孩子胜出而告终。
