　　This is a hobby that gets me out. Moving my body, getting all those feel-good endorphins of active exercise – so I can almost switch off my medical brain, skate around and just let the, sort of, trauma4 of the pandemic and what I deal with at work, just glide5 away.

　　凱爾西·洛夫迪 輪滑者

　　“這是個能讓我邁出家門的愛好。讓身體動起來，分泌積極運(yùn)動時讓人感覺很棒的內(nèi)啡呔，這樣我?guī)缀蹩梢圆辉偃ハ脶t(yī)學(xué)上的事情，而是玩起輪滑，讓新冠疫情帶來的創(chuàng)傷和在我工作中要處理的事情不知不覺地溜走�！�

　　Roller-skating Google searches doubled in recent months. Thanks, in part, to viral skaters like Oumi Janta from Berlin. Last June, she posted this.

　　最近幾個月，關(guān)鍵詞 “輪滑” 在谷歌上的搜索量翻了一番。這在一定程度上要感謝像來自柏林的烏米·詹塔這樣的人氣溜冰者。去年六月，她發(fā)布了這段視頻。

　　Almost three million views later, she's given up her job and made freestyle roller-skating her career.

　　在視頻獲得了近300萬次的觀看量之后，她辭掉了工作，改行以自由式輪滑為職業(yè)。

　　Oumi Janta, Freestyle roller-skater

　　Everything is… has no importance any more when it comes to skating, so you don't think about work, you don't think about money or whatever – you just skate. So this moment has such more [so much] power, it's just that moment is you and skating. It's amazing.

　　烏米·詹塔 自由式輪滑者

　　“在玩輪滑時，一切都不再重要了，所以你不會去想工作，也不會去想錢或者別的什么事情，只會沉浸在輪滑運(yùn)動中。所以只有你和滑輪的時刻是一個有如巨大力量的時刻。這很神奇�！�

　　But it's not just a millennial6 craze. For Mel Blackwood, a small business at home in Leeds with skate lessons from the kitchen, is now a full-time7 job with a shop and staff.

　　但這不僅僅是千禧一代所追求的流行熱潮。梅爾·布萊克伍德在英國利茲家中經(jīng)營著一個小生意，在廚房里教輪滑課，現(xiàn)在這個小生意已經(jīng)發(fā)展成擁有門店和員工的全職工作。

　　Mel Blackwood, Roller Girl Gang

　　This time last year, we had a great week if we sold two or three pairs of skates, and now we can be doing ten pairs a day. We're finding our customers are often in their mid3 to late thirties, forties and beyond. And they're coming and saying, "I used to do this as a child, but I've decided8 life's too short, and I want to have another go."

　　梅爾·布萊克伍德 輪滑女孩幫公司(Roller Girl Gang)

　　“去年的這個時候，如果我們一周能賣出了兩到三雙輪滑鞋，那一周的生意就算很好了，而現(xiàn)在我們一天就能賣出十雙輪滑鞋。我們顧客的年齡段通常在35歲以上，40歲、甚至更大。常有顧客來店里說：‘我小時候經(jīng)常玩輪滑，但現(xiàn)在我覺得人生太短暫，要活在當(dāng)下，所以我想再試著玩一次。' ”

　　Huge demand for some brands of skate now means long waiting lists. The freedom of roller-skating has captivated so many in these restricted months.

　　目前，對一些輪滑品牌的大量需求意味著長長的等待名單。在活動受限的這些月份里，輪滑運(yùn)動帶來的自由感使許多人為之著迷。
