日本将推出温泉游乐园 裹浴巾享受刺激

Yasuhiro Nagano, the mayor of Beppu city in the south of Japan, which is famed for its hot springs, proposed the spa and amusement park hybrid in a video posted to YouTube last week.
日本南部城市别府市以温泉而闻名,该市市长康裕长野上周在YouTube视频网站上传一则视频,提出了将温泉和游乐园融合在一起的构想。

In the promotional clip, he said: 'When this video reaches one million views, we hereby pledge to construct an onsen (hot springs) amusement park in Beppu city.'
他在宣传短片中说:“我们在此承诺,当视频浏览量破百万时,便在别府市打造一座温泉游乐园。”

The video, filmed at Beppu Rakutenchi amusement park, imagines what the 'spa-musement' park might look like.
这段视频是在别府Rakutenchi游乐园拍摄的,勾勒了温泉游乐园的样子。

In the clip, thrill-seekers can be seen wandering through the park in nothing but towels tied around their waists, and taking a family bath in the car of a Ferris wheel.
视频中可以看到,寻求刺激的人们仅裹着一条浴巾在园中漫步,一家人在摩天轮里泡澡。

One scene even shows roller coaster carriages filled with soothing spa water.
甚至有一个场景是过山车车厢装满了有舒缓作用的温泉水。

The video quickly attracted more than one million viewers and the mayor has confirmed the park will be built.
视频很快吸引了一百多万观众,而别府市市长也已经确认将建造温泉游乐园。

In a statement the mayor said: 'We were surprised by the rapid, speedy response, which allowed us to reach our target of one million views in just four days after the clip was uploaded to YouTube,' according to RocketNews24.
据RocketNews24报道,别府市市长在一份声明中称:“视频上传至YouTube网站后,短短四天内就达到了我们设定的100万观看目标,我们对如此迅速的反响感到惊喜。”

He added: 'I believe that, as one of the world’s best hot spring tourist spots, the appeal of having an onsen theme park in the town creates an opportunity for the citizens of Beppu, particularly young residents, to feel that “Beppu is fun” and have a sense of pride for their hometown.'
他还表示:“我认为,作为全球最棒的温泉旅游景点之一,在别府打造的温泉主题乐园带来的吸引力能够让别府市民,尤其是年轻人认为‘别府很好玩’,还能让他们对自己的家乡产生自豪感。”

'We weren't expecting this many views, but we sure are happy,' said Michitaka Kubota, a spokesman from Beppu's tourist department told Japan Times.
别府旅游部发言人久保田通高对《日本时报》表示,“我们没有期望过会有如此多的浏览量,不过我们当然为此感到开心。”

别府是世界上温泉最多的地方,每分钟流出的温泉水为83058升。

And the town is trying to boost the number of non-Japanese tourists visiting Beppu.
