GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS

The Development History

Sir Hugh Beaver and his book

In 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Brewery, went on a shooting party and became involved in an argument. Which was the fastest game bird in Europe ?the golden plover or the grouse? He realized then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular. He was right! 1951 年，在一次狩猎聚会上，当时英国吉尼斯啤酒公司的执 行董事 休 比佛爵士 与别人发生了争论 ：欧洲飞得最快的鸟是 哪种？是松鸡还是金鸻？休 比佛爵士 意识到，如果有一本书 能为这类争论提供答案的话，它一定会大受欢迎。他是对的！ Sir Hugh idea became reality when Norris and Ross McWhirter, who had been running a fact-finding agency in London, were commissioned to compile what became The Guinness Book of Records. The first edition was bound on August 27, 1955, and went to the top of the British bestseller lists by Christmas that year. 当时在伦敦经营一家资料收集站的孪生兄弟 诺里斯 和 罗斯 麦克沃特罗斯麦克沃 特受命为《吉尼斯世界纪录大 全》收集资料， 休 比佛爵士 的想法变成了现实。1955 年 8 月 27 日，第一版《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》装订成 书，当年圣诞节前即荣登英国畅销书榜首。

Since then, Guinness World Records?has become a household name and the global leader in world records.

The Records Management Team maintains a vigilant watch to guarantee the accuracy and relevance of each and every Guinness World Record? the team of Records Managers operates with unswerving impartiality and commitment to veracity.
