西班牙奔牛节无牛可奔?
Residents in Spain’s northern city of Pamplona dressed up Monday in white clothes and traditional red scarves to mark what should have been the start of their annual San Fermín festival, which was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
西班牙北部城市帕普洛纳的居民们,周一是穿上了白色的和传统的红色围巾。那几年,他们一年一度的奔牛节,今年因为疫情的缘故这个节庆已经取消了。
Known for its races with bulls running along cobbled streets, the festival was popularized by Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises” and was last called off during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.
这个节日以在拥挤的街道上,跟公牛一起狂奔而出名,因为欧内斯特·海明威1926年的小说《太阳照常升起》而享誉全球,它的上一次取消是因为二十世纪三十年代西班牙的内战。
With more than 28,000 deaths from the novel virus and an economy in the doldrums following a strict nationwide lockdown, local authorities say there is little to celebrate.
因为今年死于新冠病毒的人有超过28,000人,在严格的全国封锁令下,经济也十分低迷,所以当局称今年就不用庆祝了。
But Joaquín Beloki, a 33-year-old resident, said one could still toast “the health of all those who have not contracted the coronavirus.”
但一名33岁的居民贾坤·贝洛奇说,我们仍然可以为那些还没有感染新冠的人的健康庆祝一下。
He joined together on Monday with about 400 others at a central square where normally more than 12,000 would witness the opening of the festival.
周一时,他跟其余的400人一起聚集在了中央广场,而往年这个节日里一般会聚集12,000多人。
They gathered at the city hall square at noon, the time a rocket known as “Chupinazo” opens the 9-day festival in normal times.
他们中午时,聚集在了城市的广场大厅前,往年这个时候就会发射一枚叫做“楚宾莱佐”的火箭开启长达九天的庆典。
Revelers from all around the world respond to the rocket by bathing each other with red wine and champagne.
看到火箭后全世界的狂欢者们都会通过用红酒和香槟互浇来庆祝节日。
Instead a large sign from the city hall’s facade displayed the slogan #WeWillExperienceThem, an invitation to revelers to return for next year’s celebrations.
而今年他们在市政大厅的外墙上展示了“我们还会庆祝”的口号来邀请狂欢者们明年再继续回来庆祝。
Hundreds of police officers were deployed to prevent impromptu parties at bars or on streets.
当地还出动了上百名警察,来防止人们在酒吧或者街头聚集。
The city’s mayor, Enrique Maya, said at a press conference that 2020 is “a parenthesis in which we are going to accumulate desire to celebrate in 2021.”
该市的市长艾瑞克·马亚在一次新闻发布会上说,2020年只是一段小插曲,它会令我们更加期盼2021年的到来。
