趣闻乐见:不穿裤子搭地铁日

英语自学网

　　本周日就是纽约“地铁无裤日”了。小编在这里给大家普及一下。“不穿裤子节”的完整名称为“不穿裤子搭地铁日(NoPants Subway
Ride)”，它是由美国民间组织“处处即兴”在2002年发起的一项活动，意在让人们尝试摒弃保守，为生活增加乐趣。由于这个节日能带来新奇、刺激的体验，它如今已冲出美国、走向世界。英国伦敦市民在严冬中光着双腿庆祝“不穿裤子节”，已有好几年的历史。2013年1月13日，上海地铁内惊现多人不穿外裤景象，引来广大市民围观。而今年的1月11日，也就是本周日，纽约率先开脱，其他城市也会陆续加入。脱还是不脱，你怎么看?
        　　If you’re unfamiliar with this event, you might want to first read our
history of The No PantsSubway Ride. Since this is the 13th year we’ve done this,
there’s not too much to report otherthan it was another awesome time. There are
some selections of photos that jumped out to me asbeing fun and new, compared to
previous editions. Enjoy!

youngestparticipants are. The oldest this year was 71. The youngest, was 3
months!
        　　Although the event has happened for over a decade, there are always people
who are seeing it forthe first time. This year we apparently surprised a New Kid
on the Block.
        　　It’s always fun seeing the new countries that join in each year.
