時尚雙語:奧克蘭上演袒胸大遊行
Thousands ogle NZs topless parade
Topless porn stars pass a large crowd of onlookers during the 'Boobs on Bikes' parade of topless women down Queen Street to promote this weekend's Erotica Adult Expo in Auckland.
A parade of 20 topless female porn stars on motorbikes brought the centre of Auckland to a standstill as crowds craned their necks for a glimpse in the noon of Aug 23.
The "Boobs on Bikes" parade went ahead despite Auckland mayor Dick Hubbard labelling the promotion for an erotica show as "morally repugnant".
The porn stars in studded knee-high boots, black leather pants and little else travelled in a convoy down the city's main thoroughfare Queen Street.
A mostly male crowd wielding camera phones and video cameras massed along the street as two armoured ex-military vehicles and motorbikes carrying 20 topless women and a few men drove by.
Afuroreover the parade -- which has been held for the last several years in New Zealand's largest city -- brought out the biggest crowds ever for the spectacle.
Parade organizer Steve Crow had applied to Hubbard's city council for a permit to hold the parade but was turned down at last. However, the spectacle could not be stopped because there is no law against women baring their breasts in public.
"The only way they could legally stop it would be to change the constitution of New Zealand and remove women's rights to bare their breasts in public," Crow said.
8月23日中午，20名露點“色情女星”坐着摩托車在奧克蘭市中心巡遊，很多人前來圍觀，把奧克蘭市中心堵的水泄不通。
儘管奧克蘭市市長迪克·哈巴德將這個爲某“色情藝術展”所做的宣傳活動評價爲“道德敗壞”，但 “坦胸摩托行”仍然進行的如火如荼。
這些露點明星腳穿鑲有飾釘的過膝長靴，下着黑色皮褲，赤裸上身，坐着摩托車沿着奧克蘭市的中央大道“皇后街”巡遊。
當兩輛原軍用裝甲車和摩托車載着20名露點女星和幾個男人駛過大街，圍在街道旁邊的一羣男人紛紛舉起手機和攝像機拍照。
過去幾年，人們對這個在新西蘭最大城市舉行的遊行一直很狂熱。而今年的遊行引來的圍觀者是這幾年來最多的。
之前，哈巴德領導的市議會沒有批准遊行組織者史蒂夫·克勞提出的遊行申請，但遊行還是照常舉行了，因爲沒有法律規定女性不能在公共場合袒露上身。
克勞說：“除非修改新西蘭憲法，禁止女性在公共場所袒胸露懷，否則，市政府沒有合法權力阻止我們舉辦這個遊行。”
Vocabulary:
morally repugnant : 道德敗壞
furore: frenzy（狂熱）
