新聞主播：每年在西班牙潘普洛納市舉行，從未回頭過。奔牛的舉行是作為本市聖佛明節的一部份。每年來自全球觀光客在節日時蜂擁而至，觀看奔牛節的狂放與牛群的奔跑。讓我們來看一看。 STORY:
An adrenaline-fuelled run down narrow cobbled streets in front of six running bulls. It's certainly not everyone's idea of fun but here in Pamplona there's never any shortage of willing participants for the annual Running of the Bulls - even if some appear a tiny bit nervous.
彷彿充滿腎上腺素、激情的奔牛活動，沿著狹窄舖有鵝卵石的街道，人們跑在六隻公牛的前面。這當然不是每個人都認為的樂趣，但是在普洛納市從未短缺過每年奔牛節有意願的參與者，即使有些人似乎看起來有一點緊張。 [Ben, American Tourist]:
"I don't know, very excited right now. I am not sure what's going to happen. I am going to try not to die."
來自美國的觀光客說：「我不知道，現在就是非常興奮。我不確定會發生什麼，我會想辦法不死掉。」 Well, nobody died on this year's first run, but eight people were injured, most being hit by the bulls as they made their way around a corner.
還好，沒有人在今年的第一輪奔牛中死亡，但有八人受傷，大部份是在轉角時遭牛群撞到。 Pamplona's annual running of the bulls takes place as part of the city's nine day San Fermin festival.
潘普洛納市每年舉辦奔牛作為本市九天的聖佛明節的一部份。 While local runners prepare all year for the event many foreign tourists arrive unprepared. That had fatal consequences for a young American in 1995 who was killed by one of the bulls horns.
當地的跑者為這活動準備了一整年，但許多外國觀光客到達時卻尚未準備好。曾經有致命的結果發生，例如一位年經的美國人在1995年時被牛群中一隻牛的角撞到而死亡。 While no tourists have died in the run so far this year, police are investigating the identity of a young man whose body was found near the city walls on Sunday. Authorities believe the man, who was carrying a bank card issued in Ireland, may have been a tourist.
而今年在奔牛過程中，到目前為止還沒有觀光客死亡，警方正在調查一位年輕人的身份，他的屍體週日被發現在市圍牆附近。當局相信這名身上帶有在愛爾蘭核發的銀行卡男子，可能是一名觀光客。
