In the past, young athletes would play baseball or basketball. Today, they want risk and excitement—the closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliffs, windsurf near hurricanes, or bungee jump from towers.
在過去，年輕的運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)打棒球或籃球。現(xiàn)在，他們想要的是冒險(xiǎn)和刺激—-越接近極限就越好。他們?cè)趹已律贤婊┌澹陲Z風(fēng)附近玩帆板，或者從高樓上蹦極。
Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports such as golf. A city kid who didn’t have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There’s even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter X Games, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing. An X Games is also held each summer.
極限運(yùn)動(dòng)最初是高爾夫等更昂貴運(yùn)動(dòng)的替代品。一個(gè)沒有錢買昂貴的運(yùn)動(dòng)器材的城市孩子可以得到一個(gè)滑板并玩得很開心。但現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)全新的體育領(lǐng)域，擁有專門的設(shè)備和高水平的技術(shù)。甚至還有極限運(yùn)動(dòng)的特奧會(huì)，叫做冬季極限運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)，包括雪山自行車賽和冰上攀巖。極限運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)也在每年夏天舉行。
