Mountain biking boosts the Australian economy 山地自行車運動推動澳大利亞經(jīng)濟增長

文字稿

Carving out an economy all of its own, mountain biking in Australia is surging in popularity.

山地自行車運動的發(fā)展創(chuàng)造了一種獨特的經(jīng)濟模式，在澳大利亞，這種運動正在蓬勃發(fā)展。

For the fast and the furious, nothing beats hurtling along a trail that lives up to its name. 

對于喜歡速度與刺激的人們來說，沒有什么比沿著這條林道極速騎行更美妙的體驗了，真是名不虛傳。

Bikes are helping to revive regional towns in Australia. Carefully crafted trails in forests near Nowra, south of Sydney, are part of a growing national network.

山地自行車運動正在幫助推動澳大利亞區(qū)域城鎮(zhèn)經(jīng)濟的復蘇。在悉尼南部瑙拉附近的森林中，精心修建的林道上可見全澳日益壯大的騎行愛好者群體的身影。

"Mountain biking really could be described as an industry in itself now, and there [are] many examples around Australia where that has happened for regional communities. Those communities like Nowra have fantastic trails. People have flocked there, and the whole town has benefitted.

“山地自行車運動現(xiàn)在真的可以被稱作是一個產(chǎn)業(yè)了。在澳大利亞各地的社區(qū)中有很多這樣的例子。像瑙拉這樣的社區(qū)坐擁很棒的林道。騎手們蜂擁而至，整個城鎮(zhèn)都從中獲益。”

Phil Mercer, BBC reporter
"Adventure and adrenaline are the key ingredients of mountain biking. Australia has never had as many clubs, trails or riders. For some, it is an extreme sport – they have the scars and the broken bones to show for it. But to succeed, a tourist destination needs to cater for various ages and abilities."  

菲爾·默瑟     BBC通訊員
“冒險的樂趣和腎上腺素的上升是吸引人們參與山地自行車運動的關鍵元素。澳大利亞從未有過如此多的俱樂部、賽道和騎手。對一些人來說，這是一項極限運動，他們身上的傷疤和斷過的骨頭便可以證明這一點。但要想成功振興城鎮(zhèn)經(jīng)濟，旅游目的地得滿足不同年齡和能力者的活動需要。”

Nick Smee, President, South Coast United Mountain Bikers
"If I can't get out on my bike, I'm not a very happy person. When you are on a nice singletrack carving through the forest, it's got a lot of links to surfing or snowboarding. Just that feeling of just movement, just… you get in a good rhythm."

尼克·斯密    South Coast United Mountain Bikers 主席
“如果哪一天我不能騎車，我就渾身不自在。當你在一條漂亮的單車徑上騎行，穿過森林時，那種感覺與沖浪和滑雪有很多相通之處。就是那種向前飛馳、找到節(jié)奏的刺激感。”

Mountain biking is a multi-million dollar business in Australia. For many, the fun and the fear are addictive.

山地自行車運動在澳大利亞是一個價值數(shù)百萬澳元的產(chǎn)業(yè)。對許多人來說，騎車時感受到的樂趣和恐懼讓他們欲罷不能。
