STORY:
An adrenaline-fuelled run down narrow cobbled streets in front of six running bulls. It’s certainly not everyone’s idea of fun but here in Pamplona there’s never any shortage of willing participants for the annual Running of the Bulls – even if some appear a tiny bit nervous.
仿佛充满肾上腺素、激情的奔牛活动，沿着狭窄铺有鹅卵石的街道，人们跑在六只公牛的前面。这当然不是每个人都认为的乐趣，但是在普洛纳市从未短缺过每年奔牛节有意愿的参与者，即使有些人似乎看起来有一点紧张。
[Ben, American Tourist]:
“I don’t know, very excited right now. I am not sure what’s going to happen. I am going to try not to die.”
来自美国的观光客说：“我不知道，现在就是非常兴奋。我不确定会发生什么，我会想办法不死掉。”
Well, nobody died on this year’s first run, but eight people were injured, most being hit by the bulls as they made their way around a corner.
还好，没有人在今年的第一轮奔牛中死亡，但有八人受伤，大部分是在转角时遭牛群撞到。
Pamplona’s annual running of the bulls takes place as part of the city’s nine day San Fermin festival.
潘普洛纳市每年举办奔牛作为本市九天的圣佛明节的一部分。
While local runners prepare all year for the event many foreign tourists arrive unprepared. That had fatal consequences for a young American in 1995 who was killed by one of the bulls horns.
当地的跑者为这活动准备了一整年，但许多外国观光客到达时却尚未准备好。曾经有致命的结果发生，例如一位年经的美国人在1995年时被牛群中一只牛的角撞到而死亡。
While no tourists have died in the run so far this year, police are investigating the identity of a young man whose body was found near the city walls on Sunday. Authorities believe the man, who was carrying a bank card issued in Ireland, may have been a tourist.
而今年在奔牛过程中，到目前为止还没有观光客死亡，警方正在调查一位年轻人的身份，他的尸体周日被发现在市围墙附近。当局相信这名身上带有在爱尔兰核发的银行卡男子，可能是一名观光客。
