The Albuquerque Balloon Festival, USA

美国的阿尔伯克基气球节

Burning Man, Black Rock desert, USA

美国的火人节

Burning Man was inaugurated in 1986, when Larry Harvey and Jerry James—two members of the San Francisco arts community—burned an eight-foot- (two-metre-) tall wooden effigy of a man on San Francisco’s Baker Beach in celebration of the summer solstice.

火人节始于1986年，当时旧金山艺术界的两个成员拉里·哈维和杰里·詹姆斯在旧金山的贝克海滩烧了一个人的八英尺（两米）高的木制人雕像以庆祝夏至。

Over the next four years Harvey and James (and ever expanding crowds) returned to the site with increasingly taller effigies. In 1990, however, when a 40-foot- (12-metre-) tall effigy was prepared for immolation at the beach location, the police intervened at the last minute and forbade the structure from being set ablaze. 

在接下来的四年中，哈维和詹姆斯以及不断扩大的人群带着越来越高的雕像返回海滩。然而，在1990年，当他们准备在海滩焚烧40英尺（12米）高的雕像时，警察在最后一刻介入并禁止燃烧该雕像。

Consequently, the event was moved that year to the Black Rock Desert, where the effigy was burned on the Labor Day weekend, in early September.

因此，该活动于当年移至黑岩沙漠。在9月初的劳动节周末燃烧雕像。

The Burning Man festival expanded dramatically over the next two decades. Its duration was extended to span the entire week preceding Labor Day, with ignition of the effigy regularly scheduled for the Saturday before the holiday. Meanwhile, attendance rose exponentially, exceeding 50,000 by 2010. 

在接下来的二十年里，火人节人气剧增。它的持续时间延长到劳动节之前的整个星期，并定期在假期前的星期六燃烧雕像。同时，出席人数呈指数增长，到2010年已超过50,000人。

Pingxi Lantern Festival, Taiwan

中国台湾的平溪天灯节

Pingxi Lantern Festival is an annual Lantern Festival held in Pingxi District of Xinbei. It is as famous as salt water bee cannon and has the reputation of "South bee cannon and North lantern".

平溪天灯节是台湾新北市平溪区在每年元宵节所举办的活动，与盐水蜂炮齐名，有“南蜂炮，北天灯”之誉。

Pingxi is located in the remote mountainous area outside the Taipei basin. During the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, it became a rich village after hard cultivation, just like a fairyland on earth. 

平溪区位在台北盆地外围偏远山区。清道光年间，经过辛勤开垦使当地成为的富足村落，宛如人间仙境。

At that time, due to the underdeveloped traffic in the mountain area, the government could not control it, so it became a place coveted by mountain thieves. In order to protect their lives, after the winter solstice, when the harvest was over, the villagers packed up their belongings and fled to the mountain area. Until the Lantern Festival, they sent people back to the village to check. After they were sure that it was safe, they released the sky lantern to report their safety. This evolved into today's Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival.

当时，由于山区交通不发达，官府无法管辖，遂使成为山贼觊觎之地。为保性命，村民会在冬至过后，收好粮食即收拾家当遁入山区，一直到元宵，才派人回村察看，确定安全后，释放天灯以报平安。此举遂演变而成今日的平溪天灯节。
