　　And the shell-shocked youngster did research online to reveal the 1.8cm high egg is the tiniest – ever.
　　她十分震惊。而后她上网搜了搜，发现这枚高1.8厘米的鸡蛋是目前最小的了。
　　Shannon said: “I’m confident it’s the smallest. It is very tiny – and you wouldn’t want it for breakfast.”
　　尚侬说道：“我很确信它是最小的。它是那么小，你不会忍心拿它来做早餐。”
　　She keeps seven hens which lay eggs at the family home at Capel Iwan, Carmarthenshire – but she’s not sure which laid the thimble-sized egg.
　　她在卡马森郡卡贝尔伊万市的家中养了七只会下蛋的母鸡，但她也不能确定是哪只下了那枚顶针般大小的鸡蛋。
　　Her gran Pamela Hayes, 58, said: “When Shannon found the egg she was scared of dropping it when she brought it to the house.
　　尚侬58岁的祖母帕梅拉·海斯说道：“尚侬在发现这枚鸡蛋后，很担心她会在将其带回家的途中摔落它。”
　　”We couldn’t believe our eyes because it is just so small compared to all the other eggs.
　　“我们简直不敢相信自己的眼睛，因为它和其他所有鸡蛋相比实在是太小了。”
　　“As far as we can see there is no official world record, but the smallest that we have found so far was bigger.”

　　In 2011, an American farmer claimed his hen laid the world’s smallest chicken egg, measuring just 2.1 centimetres in length.

　　但是2014年一枚鸡蛋因比它小1毫米而打破了这项纪录。那枚鸡蛋是在萨摩赛特一只叫“小松饼”的母鸡下的。
