最近，一種新型旅游方式火了——窩囊式旅游。

爬山配電梯，蹦極會減速，漂流能躺平……主打的就是玩也玩到了，罪一點不遭。

A new travel trend called "wimp-style tourism" is going viral, appealing to those who want to have fun without breaking a sweat — or a bone. The tongue-in-cheek term refers to a wave of vacation experiences that minimize physical effort while still offering the appearance of excitement.

窩囊第一套：爬自動檔的山。

快速登頂，不靠人力靠電力，“爬”完是腰也不酸了，腿也不疼了，神清氣爽，一點不累。

Take automatic mountain climbing, for example. Instead of huffing and puffing uphill, tourists are whisked to the summit by electric lifts. No sore legs, no gasping for air — just stunning views and selfies at the summit.

窩囊第二套：躺平式漂流。

不用水擊三千，也不用乘風破浪，沒有刺激與冒險，只有悠哉悠哉看風景。

Then there's lying-flat rafting, a leisurely drift down calm waters with hardly a ripple in sight. You simply lie back, relax and watch the scenery float by.

窩囊第三套：減速版蹦極。

縱身一躍之后，緩緩下降。請問這種蹦極，刺激在哪里？挑戰在哪里？地址在哪里？

And perhaps the most curious of all is the slow-motion bungee jump where thrill-seekers take the plunge only to descend gently, almost gracefully, toward the ground — a far cry from the usual adrenaline rush.

a far cry from 與……有很大差異

adrenaline /??dren?l?n/ 腎上腺素

這些簡直就是我們“又菜又愛玩人”的福音啊！堅信沒苦不硬吃！

Social media users are loving it. Many are calling it a godsend for those who "love to play but hate the pain".

請把地址給我，我現在強得可怕。

那么“窩囊三件套”里的三項運動用英語怎么說呢？

▌爬山

“mountain climbing”強調“登山運動”，通常指攀登有一定難度的山峰，需要體力和技巧。

Mountain climbing is a tough sport that requires training.

登山是項需要訓練的艱苦運動。

“hiking”更日常，指“徒步旅行、遠足”，可用于爬山、走步道等輕松的戶外徒步，不一定是高山。

We're planning to go hiking in the hills this Sunday.

我們周日打算去山里爬山。

▌漂流

“rafting”最常用，特指“乘木筏/皮筏漂流”，尤其指在有一定流速的河流中進行的活動。

White-water rafting is popular in this area during summer.

夏季這里的白水漂流很受歡迎。

“drifting”側重“隨水流漂浮”的狀態，不一定使用工具。

We spent the afternoon drifting down the river on inflatable tubes.

我們整個下午都靠充氣艇在河上漂流。

▌蹦極

“bungee jumping”指“蹦極”，即從高處跳下，身上系有彈性繩索，利用繩索反彈，其中“bungee”指“彈性繩索”。

He was nervous but excited before his first bungee jumping.

第一次蹦極前，他既緊張又興奮。
