Cyclist Makes it Around the World in 78 Days
一名自行車騎手用78天環(huán)游世界
A long-distance cyclist smashed a world record this summer by cycling around the world in just under 79 days. Mark Beaumont previously set the world record in 2008 by cycling around the world in 194 days. Many cyclists have since broken that record, but Beaumont beat the most recent record by 44 days. The 34-year-old British cyclist left Paris on July 2 and arrived back at his starting point 78 days later. His personal goal was to finish the route in 80 days. The goal was inspired by Jules Verne’s classic novel, Around the World in 80 Days. Beaumont cycled for an average of 16 hours per day and only got about five hours rest each night.
一名長途自行車騎手今年夏天用不到79天的時(shí)間環(huán)游世界，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超越了世界紀(jì)錄。馬克·博蒙特在2008年用194天環(huán)游世界，創(chuàng)下了世界記錄。從那以后，有很多自行車騎手都打破了那個(gè)記錄，但博蒙特比最近的記錄少用了44天。這名34歲的英國自行車手于7月2日從巴黎出發(fā)，并在78天以后回到了出發(fā)地點(diǎn)。他的個(gè)人目標(biāo)是要在80天內(nèi)完成任務(wù)。這個(gè)目標(biāo)是受到了儒勒·凡爾納的經(jīng)典小說《80天環(huán)游世界》的啟發(fā)。博蒙特平均每天騎行16小時(shí)，每晚只能休息約5小時(shí)。
