大多数参加挑战的都是年轻女性，她们通过“反手夹手机”来展现身体的柔韧度。

The true test of the reverse prayer is how close the fingertips are to the neck as the higher the hands are, the more flexible the body is shown to be.

反手祈祷要测的是手指离颈部的距离。手越举越高，表明身体柔韧度越高。

One user even went as far as to make a chart demonstrating the success of a 'reverse prayer' with a 'goddess' seeing the fingertips reach the top of the neck.

一个用户甚至用背影做了一张图表来阐释“反手祈祷”的成功程度，指尖能到达颈部的是“女神”。

The practice has been slammed by several users, some opposing setting a standard that many would be physically unable to match, leaving them feeling inferior, and others objecting to the term 'reverse praying'.

这一行为受到了一些用户的抨击，有人反对设定这样一个很多人根本无法达到的身体标准，这让她们觉得自己很差劲；还有人则反对使用“反手祈祷”一词。

One online user posted on China Weibo: 'It is certainly irreverent and insulting to those to whom religion is a key part of their life. Those posting these images should be ashamed of themselves.'

一名网友在新浪微博上写道：“对那些有着虔诚宗教信仰的人来说，这是一种不尊重甚至是羞辱。那些发照片的人应该感到羞愧。”
