上周日是一年一度的“地铁光腿日”,尽管气温在零度以下、寒风凛冽,纽约客们却勇敢的挑战严寒,露出大腿来庆贺这个日子。
Wearing hats, scarves and thick coats on their top halves, boarded trains at stations across the city - surrounded by bemused travellers.
参加庆贺的人都头戴冬帽,裹着围巾,上身穿着厚实的外套,他们在全城各个地铁站上车——周围的乘客们对他们嗔目结舌。
Scantily-clad riders also took part in places including London, Milan, Bucharest, Berlin and Mexico City - all joined in as part of the 'celebration of silliness'.
在伦敦、米兰、布加勒斯特、柏林和墨西哥等地也有穿得太少的地铁乘客参加庆祝,他们在为人们的“傻瓜行为”共同庆贺。
It started off as a prank by comedy group Improv Everywhere in 2002, bemusing a few embarrassed commuters, but has since grown into a global phenomenon.
这个节日起源于2002年一个名叫“随处即兴”的搞笑团体策划的一场恶作剧,他们捉弄了几个地铁乘客,令其尴尬不已。现在,这一活动已经发展成为一种世界性的社会现象。
