無奇不有! 關於裸奔的10個有趣故事(上)
Sports fans around the world have one thing in common: we hate it when our games get interrupted – that is, unless it's by a streaker. Preferably a blonde. With large… assets. And if that fails (which is the norm), at least we have the entertaining tackles and chases by stadium security to make the event worth our while. Although streaking is usually associated with sports, it has a bold history and is firmly entrenched in the cultures and social calendars of universities and colleges worldwide. Many an activist has also bared a hairy armpit or worse to raise public awareness, and it has even given rise to a multitude of naked social events. Endeavoured individually or in groups, the art of streaking has taken on many forms over the years but the naked truth prevails: socks, shoes, and scarves are optional.
全球的體育愛好者都有着一個共識：我們討厭比賽中斷，除非——比賽是被一個裸奔者打斷的。嗯……最好是個金髮碧眼、身材火辣的裸奔者。如果比賽被搞砸了（然而通常如此），至少看着賽場裏的保安們追着裸奔者四處亂跑的場景讓足以讓我們開心好一會兒，票價也值了。人們往往把裸奔和體育聯繫在一起，但其實裸奔的英勇歷史牢牢紮根在世界各地大學的校園文化和社會活動中。許多激進分子也曾高舉臂膀，露出毛茸茸的腋窩甚至企圖用更糟糕的行爲來吸引公衆的注意。不僅如此，他們的行爲還直接引起了此後大批赤身裸體的社會活動。這些年來，裸跑的藝術以各種各樣的形式發展。有個人行爲，也有組織式的活動。但是裸露的真相盛行已久——襪子，鞋子和圍巾，全都可有可無。First Daredevils
10.第一批蠻勇之人
The first recorded streak happened on July 5, 1799, when an adventurous (and unfortunately, nameless) man accepted a dare and was arrested at the Mansion House in London after a naked dash from Cornhill to Cheapside. Within 5 years of the nameless trailblazer's sprint, the U.S. recorded its first streaking event at Washington College when George William Crump bared all during a run through Lexington, Virginia.
記錄在案的第一次裸奔發生在1799年7月5日。一個大膽的男人（不走運的是沒留下姓名）接受了挑戰——從倫敦的康希爾街裸奔到齊普賽街，並於倫敦市長官邸被捕。在這位無名先驅者奔跑後，不到五年，美國就發生了第一起裸跑事件。華盛頓大學的在校學生喬治·威廉·克倫普全身赤裸地跑過了弗吉尼亞州的列剋星敦市。
Although young Mr. Crump's feat saw him suspended for the remainder of the academic semester, he eventually graduated from Princeton and became a U.S. Congressman. It is said that Robert E. Lee later gave these naked sprints his blessing and confirmed them to be "rites of passage" for Washington and Lee gentlemen.
雖然年輕的克倫普因爲這次壯舉被迫中止餘下的學期，他最終還是從普利斯頓大學順利畢業併成爲了一名美國國會議員。據說羅伯特·愛德華·李之後對這些全身赤裸的狂奔送上祝福並認可這是華盛頓和李大學學生的慶祝儀式。Guy Who Introduced It to Sports
9.將裸奔引入體育界的人
Michael O'Brien changed the number of security guards at major sporting events forever when he charged onto the field during a rugby match at Twickenham in his birthday suit on the April 20, 1974. Dared by a friend to run the width of the field and touch a fence, O'Brien almost lost when police caught up to him before he could reach his destination.
邁克爾·奧博裏恩永久性地改變了大型體育賽事的安保人數。1974年4月20日，他一絲不掛地衝進了位於特威克納姆的橄欖球賽場。奧博裏恩和朋友打賭要橫穿賽場，直到他摸到圍牆爲止。然而在到達目的地之前，他就差點迷了路並被趕來的警察們逮捕了。Luckily for him, PC Bruce Perry actually walked him to the fence whilst covering his nether regions with his police helmet and allowed him to complete the dare before arresting him. The iconic image of O'Brien's arrest won a World Press photo award and became Life magazine's "Picture of the Year".
對奧博裏恩而言，幸運的是，警察布魯斯·佩裏用警帽遮住了他的下體並將他帶到圍牆邊，在逮捕他之前允許他完成了這個賭約。奧博裏恩被捕時的滑稽照片贏得了世界新聞攝影大獎，併成爲了《生活》雜誌的年度圖片。Serial Streakers
8.持續的裸奔
Streaks are usually unpremeditated, alcohol-induced events – but there are those who take their raunchy romps very seriously. The world's most prolific streaker, Mark Roberts has streaked at over 500 major sports events over the past 18 years, giving him a place of eminence amongst serial streakers. His streaks includes the Super Bowl, Miss World, the running of the bulls in Pamplona and the Wimbledon final. Mark's unusual hobby even led to a few paid-for commercials.
裸奔通常都是突發的，也有因醉酒而發生的。但總有人把這種猥瑣的行爲當成正事來幹。世界上裸奔次數最多的肯定是馬克·羅伯茨了，過去的18年間，他在各重大體育賽事上裸奔次數竟然超過500次。這無疑讓他衛冕"裸奔之王"的稱號。不管是在美國橄欖球超級聯賽，世界小姐比賽上，還是潘普洛納的奔牛節，溫布爾登網球公開賽的決賽上，他都裸奔過。這個特殊愛好卻讓他甚是吸金。Unfortunately his fines and other expenses have cost him more than he has made over the years. Other serial streakers include Jimmy Jump and Ron Bensimhon.
但是這些年，羅伯茨所承擔的罰款和其他費用遠比他賺的還要多。其他的裸奔者包括"吉米蹦"和羅恩·本斯姆霍恩。Streakers that Scored
7.裸奔進球
When you take your clothes of and run onto a sports field, chances are you might come into contact with the players. Due to the inebriated state of most streakers, such an event usually leads to a massive takedown and possible concussion, but every once in a while a streaker actually manages to get a hold of the ball and score.
當你脫掉衣服，奔向運動場時，你與運動員正面接觸的機會可能到了。雖然大多數人因醉酒裸奔，導致大量貸款和可能性腦震盪等事件的發生。但每隔一段時間，都有裸奔者成功進球得分的消息。The notorious U.K. streaker, Mark Roberts, has scored at least twice, while another U.K. streaker managed to score during a 1998 game between Reading and Nott's County. Unfortunately despite all their trouble, their goals didn't count and in Mark Robbert's case, all he received was a hefty fine.
英國臭名昭著的裸奔者馬克·羅伯茨，在比賽時裸奔至少進球兩次。1998年，在雷丁隊和諾茨郡隊的比賽上，另一位英國裸奔者成功進球。不幸的是，他們惹來了麻煩——裸奔時進的球不計分。而在"馬克·羅伯茨事件"中，羅伯茨本人也遭到了鉅額罰款。Epidemic of '73
6.1973年的"流行病"
In 1973, Stephen F. Austin State University was hit by a full-blown "streaking epidemic". Nubile young bodies wearing nothing but sneakers could be seen everywhere – from the residence halls to football games. Even the once esteemed spring graduation ceremony could not escape the disrobed liberation. As media coverage of the so-called epidemic spread, several colleges and other groups in the US were swept up in the naked novelty.
1973年斯蒂芬·F.奧斯汀州立大學颳起了一場裸奔的流行之風。性感的年輕人們全身赤裸，只穿一雙運動鞋，從宿舍樓到足球場，到處都是他們的身影。即使是莊嚴的春季畢業典禮也能看見這些脫去束縛的"解放者"。這就是當時媒體報道中所謂的"流行病蔓延"，在這次新奇刺激的裸體風暴中，一些學生被開除，幾個典型的社團被解散。Finally, in a bid to end the furore by the spring of 1974, Ralph W. Steen, (the no doubt exasperated, but enlightened) University President, declared an annual streaking day – initiating a rich tradition that continues to this day.
最後在1974年春，爲了結束這次裸體風潮，校長拉爾夫·W.斯蒂恩（毫無疑問他快氣死了，不過他還是很開明）宣佈今後每年將舉辦"裸跑節"，就此開啓了一個底蘊深厚的傳統，這個節日一直持續至今。翻譯:彼得潘、小飛俠 來源:前十網
