A 13-year-old American boy has become the first person ever to beat the popular video game Tetris.
一名13岁的美国男孩成为有史以来第一个通关流行视频游戏俄罗斯方块的人。
The young gamer, Willis Gibson, completed 157 levels of Tetris before the game technically surrendered.

Gaming experts had long considered Tetris unbeatable.
游戏专家长期以来一直认为俄罗斯方块是无法通关的。

Tetris came out in 1984 and quickly became a worldwide favorite.

On December 21, Gibson reached level 157 and dropped a final piece into place.

"This is unbelievable," Vince Clemente, CEO of Classic Tetris World Championship, told Reuters news agency.
经典俄罗斯方块世界锦标赛首席执行官文斯·克莱门特对路透社说：“这简直令人难以置信。”
"Developers didn't think anyone would ever make it that far and now the game has officially been beaten by a human being." For some time, gamers have known Tetris would eventually reach an ending point and technically shut down.
“开发人员没想到会有人能做到这一点，现在这款游戏正式被人类打败了。”一段时间以来，游戏玩家已经知道俄罗斯方块最终会到达终点，并在技术上关闭。
But in the past, only a computer program could force such a game-ending shut-down.
