Some people are just gluttons for punishment, and a group of strangers have taken this to the next level, encouraging users to 'roast' them in a bizarre new internet trend sweeping Reddit.
有些人就是喜歡受虐，而一幫曾經素不相識的網友將其演繹到了新高度。近日，紅迪網（Reddit）掀起了一股怪異風潮：鼓勵其他用戶來“挖苦”自己。

A thread on the online viral community, sees brave users uploading selfies emblazoned with the words 'Roast Me', giving total strangers permission to criticize their appearance. And while some of the comments are dry and funny, others are highly personal and focus on the user's looks, facial expression, gender and race.
這個風靡網絡的社區里有一個帖子，有勇氣的用戶上傳自拍，附著“求侮辱”的文字，讓素昧平生的網友評論他們的外表。有些評論一語中的，讓人捧腹；而有些評論則帶有強烈的個人偏見，重點關注該用戶的容貌、表情、性別乃至種族。

The trend may seem like a dubious excuse and platform for cyber-bullying, but the thread on the online community specifies that there are rules that must be obeyed to avoid having your contributions deleted. For those wanting to be 'roasted', which is a tradition of lampooning someone without mercy, they must upload a clear quality image of themselves, giving permission with a sign, reading 'RoastMe.'
這一風潮似乎有助長網絡欺凌（cyber-bullying）的嫌疑。不過，該帖子明確指出：要想不被刪帖，就必須遵守規定。對于那些“求侮辱”的人，他們得知道這項活動就是讓人毫不留情地諷刺挖苦他們。用戶必須上傳一張自己的清晰照片，附上“求侮辱”的文字標識，別人才能評論他們。

Reddit users must also be older than 13 and even prove this in order to post their contribution. For those doing the 'roasting' rules have specified that the thread is one encouraging comedy content and 'not a hate subreddit' and that users should 'act accordingly.'
紅迪網的網友們要想參加這項活動，首先得證明他們已滿13歲。對于那些來“挖苦”別人的，規定里也已明確寫道：這項活動是鼓勵搞笑內容，而非“充滿怨念的紅迪網小版塊”，用戶得“按規定行事”。

One brave woman sporting fiery-red hair and glasses uploaded an image of herself, asking the thread to 'roast her.' Instantly insults poured in, with harsh words directed at the woman in the image.
一位頂著一頭紅發，帶著眼鏡的勇敢女士上傳了一張她的照片，讓人回復來“挖苦”她。片刻之后，各路“侮辱”紛紛而來，其中不乏針對圖中這位女孩的毒舌之詞。

One Reddit user commented: 'Your head looks like it was laid by an ostrich.' Another wag posted: 'That badly dyed red hair and super white body make you look like a fishing lure.'
一位紅迪網用戶評論道: “你看起來就像頭頂一只鴕鳥。”另外一個搞笑的網友評論道：“這一頭漂染過度的紅發加上慘白的膚色，你看起來活像個魚餌?！?/p>

Another young woman posted her image, and before long, cruel suggestions and insults were pouring in. One stranger stated: 'The empty blue wall has more personality than you.' Another made a Tinder-related joke, insinuating his rejection of her physical looks, adding: '(swipes left)' .
還有一個女孩也上傳了她的照片，沒過多久，各鐘毒舌評論和攻擊紛至沓來。一位陌生網友回復道:“你背后的那面藍色的空墻都比你有性格?！绷硗庖晃唤栌昧奶旖挥衍浖inder的梗，開玩笑暗指他不喜歡她的外表，評論道: “向左滑?！?使用該交友軟件時碰到喜歡的人向右滑動，不喜歡則向左滑)
