A Dutch man stood in ice last week for 72 minutes. He broke his own world record.
Wim Hof, 48, stood on a street in New York City in a container filled with ice. He stayed there for an hour and 12 minutes. Hof calls himself a tantric master.
Hof said he uses tantric meditation to control his body temperature. Tantra is an Eastern tradition of ritual and meditation. It's said to bring followers closer to their chosen deities. Hof may be the only non-Tibetan to have mastered this technique.

一名荷蘭男子上星期赤腳站立在冰塊中長達七十二分鐘，打破自已所保持的世界紀錄。
現年四十八歲的威姆．霍夫站在紐約市街頭一個裝滿冰塊的容器中一小時又十二分鐘；他自稱是位密宗大師。
霍夫說他利用密宗的冥想來控制體溫；密宗是一種東方傳統的修練儀式，據說可以帶領信徒更接近他們所信仰的神。霍夫可能是唯一精通此修練的非西藏人。
霍夫三年前曾創下全身接觸冰塊最久的世界紀錄，當時他在冰中待了長達一小時又八分鐘。
霍夫的驚人之舉開啟了紐約的「Brainwave」活動，這項為期五個月的系列活動將探索藝術、音樂和冥想是如何影響腦部運作。（美聯社�翻譯：楊鴻泰）
