奧運狂人：中國大爺騎三輪去里約

中國健兒正在里約拼搏奮戰(zhàn)，而在賽場之外，有一位中國大爺也在用自己的方式宣傳奧林匹克精神。今年60歲的江蘇農(nóng)民伯伯陳冠明從2008年開始騎著三輪車宣傳奧運精神。北京奧運會之前，他騎著三輪走遍中國;2012年倫敦奧運會，他花了兩年時間騎三輪車到倫敦。今年里約奧運會開幕之前，他先乘飛機(jī)到加拿大，再從那里騎著三輪輾轉(zhuǎn)到達(dá)里約。如今，陳冠明大爺儼然也是一位奧運明星了。

This year at the Olympic games in Rio, you might stumble across a pretty interesting sight outside of the various stadiums holding competitions around the city.

今年里約奧運會期間，你可能會在各個比賽場館外面碰到一個奇特的場景。

Meet Chen Guanming, a 60-year-old Chinese farmer who pedalled his rickshaw all the way from China to Rio. He calls himself “Olympic madman,” and surely he deserves it: this is the third Olympic Games he rode to.

為大家介紹陳冠明，60歲的中國農(nóng)民，一路騎著三輪車從中國來到里約。他把自己稱為“奧運狂人”，當(dāng)然這個稱呼他也當(dāng)?shù)闷穑哼@已經(jīng)是他騎著三輪車參加的第三屆奧運會了。

Brazilians welcomed him with the best friendship and a splendid show after he arrived Rio a week earlier.

一周以前他到達(dá)里約時，巴西人民用最友好的方式和一場盛大的表演對他表示歡迎。

Seventeen years ago, he embarked the crazy adventure as an Olympics chaser: he toured around China before attending the Beijing Olympics in 2008, then made it to London in 2012, and now he’s in Rio. He plans to finish his global journey in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics.

17年前，他開始了瘋狂的奧運追逐之旅：2008年北京奧運會之前，他走遍了中國，之后又去了2012年的倫敦奧運會，現(xiàn)在，他又來到了里約。他計劃在2020年東京奧運會時結(jié)束他的環(huán)球之旅。

He doesn’t really have money, but strangers he met on the road have been pouring support to him: a heart-felt encouragement, a warm meal, or a lift up a hill — the rickshaw, his good buddy, carries all his luggage and weighs as heavy as 400 pounds.

他其實沒什么錢，但一路上遇到的陌生人給他許多幫助：真心的鼓勵，一頓熱飯，或者幫忙把三輪車抬上山。他的老伙計三輪車裝載著他全部的行李，重達(dá)400磅(約為181公斤)。

Zsofia Korodi, a Hungarian living in London, set up a Facebook fan page after being “inspired by his actions,” so that supporters keep track of him.

居住在倫敦的匈牙利人Zsofia Korodi受其鼓舞專門為他在臉書上建了個粉絲頁面，這樣，他的支持者們就可以追蹤他的行程了。

That way his journeys are pieced together, and people call out the next town to look out and take care of him.

這樣一來，他的整個行程就能連起來，人們會提醒下一站的人多留心，好好照顧他。

When there’s water to cross, people he met fly him over, and he will patiently wait for the rickshaw to arrive by ship.

前面被河海擋了路的時候，路上遇到的人們會用飛機(jī)把他帶過去，然后，他會耐心等著三輪車坐船抵達(dá)。

Chen spent two years, traveled almost 40,000 miles to get to the London Olympics. For Rio, he hopped a plane to Canada and then made his way from Canada through the US, South America to Rio.

前往倫敦奧運會時，陳冠明花了兩年時間，總共走了將近4萬英里(約6.4萬公里)。這次里約奧運，他先乘飛機(jī)到加拿大，然后一路從加拿大穿過美國和南美地區(qū)到達(dá)里約。

Chen said he does it all to promote the Olympic spirit. “My biggest hope is to encourage the vulnerable, the weak, and those who are afraid of challenges.”

陳冠明說他做這一切都是為了宣傳奧林匹克精神。“我最大的愿望是希望鼓勵到那些弱者和那些畏懼挑戰(zhàn)的人。”

In Rio, he’s apparently becoming an Olympic celebrity — a sportsman that compete out of the fields, with himself.

在里約，他儼然已經(jīng)成了奧運名人，他是在賽場外跟自己比賽的運動員。

And gets stopped wherever he goes to take pictures.

無論走到哪里都會被攔下來要求拍照。

Even though he couldn’t watch the games at the scene, he’s completely happy by helping to pick trash and clean the surrounding areas of the stadiums. That’s what the Olympics are about, to use his own words, “to challenge the boundaries, to compete in a friendly manner, and to win the honor of the higher calling.”

雖然不能到場館里觀看比賽，但他依然開心地在場館周邊撿拾垃圾，清掃地面。這就是奧運會的意義，用他自己的話說，就是“挑戰(zhàn)極限，友好比賽，贏得更高的榮譽(yù)。”

See you in Japan in 2020, Mr. Chen!

陳老伯，我們2020年日本見!
