A Singaporean student broke the Guinness World Record for the shortest time needed to type a 160-character SMS (short message service) message on Sunday after whizzing through the task in less than 42 seconds in a competition.
Sixteen-year-old Ang Chuang Yang typed the SMS message in 41.52 seconds, beating the previous record of 42.22 seconds set by American Ben Cook in July, according to Singapore Telecommunications, organisers of the competition.
In a statement after breaking the record, the 16-year old boy said, "I will try for 39 seconds next year."
Ang said that the trick to speedy text messaging was to use a mobile phone with larger keys on thedial pad.
SMS messaging competitions around the world use the same SMS text provided by the Guinness organization.
The record-breaking message is as follows: "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human."

在上周日的手機(jī)短信輸入大賽中，一名新加坡學(xué)生用了不到42秒的時(shí)間輸完一條長度為160個(gè)字符的短信，從而打破了吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄。
據(jù)比賽組織者新加坡電信介紹，這位名叫洪莊洋的16歲學(xué)生以41.52秒的成績刷新了美國少年本·庫克于今年七月創(chuàng)下的42.22秒的紀(jì)錄。
洪莊洋在破紀(jì)錄后發(fā)表的一份聲明中說：“明年我將沖刺39秒。”
他還“透露”，用按鍵較大的手機(jī)輸短信能使速度變快。
全世界的手機(jī)短信輸入比賽用的都是由吉尼斯組織提供的同一條短信。
這條短信的內(nèi)容是：The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.（擁有鋒利牙齒的Serrasalmus 及Pygocentrus屬水虎魚，是世界上最兇猛的淡水魚，但實(shí)際上，它們很少攻擊人類。）
