5.The Largest Group Streaks
5.最大的裸奔团体
It should come as no surprise that the "Epidemic of '73" led to quite a few infamous records that has never been broken. On March 7, 1974, the record for the largest group streak was established when 1,543 students at the University of Georgia streaked as one. Wearing nothing but the odd ski-mask and pair of gym shorts (as a mask of course), the students were officially counted as they left the campus and ran three quarters of a mile.
1973年那场裸体风潮创造了几个名声不太好的记录,后人一直无法打破,这些倒不是很让人意外。但在1974年3月7日,诞生了一项最大裸奔团体的记录,来自乔治亚大学的1543名学生集体脱光,只戴着古怪的滑雪面罩,穿着运动短裤。学生们煞有介事的组织了一场校外半公里的裸跑。
The University of Colorado holds second place with their claimed 1,200 streakers while the University of Maryland holds the third place with 553 students – proving once and for all that university is all about knowledge, research and learning.
科罗拉多大学组织了第二大的裸跑会,他们宣布共有1200名裸跑者,而马里兰大学举办的裸跑会有553名学生参与,是为第三大。跟风的学校很好地证明了——大学宗旨就是知识、探索和学习。
4.集体裸奔
Though streaking might be one of the safer naked group activities at colleges today, nobody in the 1970's would have guessed that it would become as organised and goal-oriented as team sports. The streaking team of Hamilton College, "Streak to Win", is in fact so dedicated to their cause that they embarked on a streaking tour in 2008; achieving 12 streaks at neighboring colleges in only five days.
现如今,在大学校园里,目睹或参与"裸奔"乃至"集体裸奔"的大有人在,这些词汇不再显得"陌生"和"罕见"。但在19世纪70年代,有谁会想到这玩意儿会逐渐演变成为"有组织""有计划"的"集体活动"呢?这类裸奔活动,在各校的叫法不同。美国汉密尔顿学院称之为"奔向胜利"。,参与者们为什么如此热衷?2008年,也就是他们刚刚踏上"裸奔之旅"时,仅在短短五天之内,邻校便有足足12名"有意者"积极响应,这完全在他们的意料之外。
The "Springstreakers" of Williams College in Massachusetts have certain established streaks and one can usually catch a swinging glimpse of them at freshman orientation or at Super Bowl parties. Their surprisingly modest rules include to only streak when sober and to abstain from streaking children.
美国马萨诸塞州的威廉姆斯学院,其裸奔组织名为"Springstreakers",且已建立了明确的"裸奔守则/裸奔须知"。他们一般会在新生训练营或"超级碗"派对时举行重大的"裸奔事宜"。那个时候,有兴趣的人们往往可以"一饱眼福""趁机涨姿势"。出乎意料的是,他们的"裸奔守则"十分"保守",他们只组织进行清醒状态下的"裸奔",并拒绝未成年人参与其中。
3.A Public Spanking and a Criminal Sentence
3."当众打屁股"成"刑事判决"?
Amusingly, streaks have been known to go wrong. And boy, can they go wrong! Apart from the senseless saucy sprint made by Juan Rodriguez in 2011 at President Barack Obama's rally (which saw him slapped with two years' probation), several other notable incidents have taken place over the years. While we may not all approve of the odd bit of bare skinned spanking, it definitely has its moments.
令人啼笑皆非的是,某些裸奔活动渐渐"跑偏"了。更有甚者,已经越跑越偏了!据新华社报道,美国男子胡安·罗德里格斯曾在总统贝拉克·奥巴马参加的一场集会上裸奔,他因此获判两年监外查看。接下来的几年中,还陆陆续续发生了多起类似的"著名事件"。并非所有人都能接受当众暴露,当众被警方"打屁股"的惩罚,但有些时候,有的人确实也就这么去做了。
During a cricket match in 1977, an Australian cricketer by the name of Greg Chappell decided to put his cricket bat to better use when an unfortunate fellow by the name of Bruce McCauley decided to strut his stuff on the cricket pitch.
在1977年澳大利亚的一场半球比赛举行期间,一位名叫葛瑞格·恰波的板球运动员决定更好地运用他的板球球棒——他实在看不下去了,将他手中的球棒用作那个趾高气昂行走在板球赛场上的裸奔者的"遮羞棒"。
2.Streaking at Totally Unlikely Sports Events
2.在本不可能出现裸奔的体育赛事上裸奔
Snooker and tennis might be seen as some of the more "civilized" sports by some, but on several occasions streakers have proved that the ball-games could do with a bit more exposure. The most notable of these happened in the final of the 1997 Benson & Hedges Masters between Steve Davis and Ronnie O'Sullivan when Lianne Crofts jiggled her way around the snooker table amidst appreciative cheers.
在一些人眼中,斯诺克台球和网球也许是更为"文明"的运动,但一些裸奔爱好者声称在某些场合进行球类运动时你可以穿得更为暴露点。最著名的例子莫过于那场1997年末举行的那场本森·赫奇斯大赛了。史蒂夫·戴维斯对决罗尼·奥沙利文时,丽芬尼·克罗夫茨在斯诺克球桌旁搔首弄姿还获得了台下一片叫好。
Tiger Woods also became a smiling victim on the 18th hole at Carnoustie in 1999 when Yvonne Robb not only streaked as he was about the putt, but also stole a kiss in front of 100 million viewers. Unsurprisingly, Tiger's game was not affected and the content young lady gladly paid her resulting fine.
1999年在卡洛斯蒂举办的英国公开赛上,泰格·伍兹也当过一次这种饱享眼福的受害者。当时泰格·伍兹正在卡洛斯蒂第18洞击球入洞,一位名为伊冯·罗伯的女子不仅当场裸奔,还当着1亿观众的面偷吻泰格。不出意料,泰格的比赛并没有因此受到影响,而这位达成目的的年轻女郎也乐于承担因自己个人行为带来的后果。
1.裸奔冲入奥斯卡
Hollywood's most glamorous stars were in for much more than a show when they took their seats at the 46th Academy Awards in 1974. As David Niven introduced Elizabeth Taylor to present the award for Best Picture, 34-year old Robert Opel cemented his place in history as he streaked across the stage flaunting his moustache, manly bits, and a very daring peace sign.
好莱坞最富魅力的明星能在1974年第46届奥斯卡金像奖颁奖典礼上获得一席之地可不单单只凭一部作品。就当大卫·尼文公布伊丽莎白·泰勒荣获奥斯卡最佳影片奖提名时,34岁的罗伯特·欧贝尔肆无忌惮地裸奔冲上颁奖台,炫耀起他的小胡须和男子气概,还大胆地比着V字形手势。毫无疑问,这一举动进一步加固了欧贝尔的历史地位。
In a memorable sequence that would be voted a top Oscars moment by film fans in 2001, host David Niven regained the audience's full attention with his brilliant comeback, "Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?"
精彩还在后头,接下来发生的事在2001年被广大影迷投选为奥斯卡最难忘的一刻。主持人大卫·尼文用他杰出的应变能力成功地收回了观众们的所有注意:"一个男人一生当中也许是唯一一次引人发笑的机会竟得全靠脱衣揭短,这是不是太好玩了?"
