火人节

昨晚，美国第25届“火人节”如期开幕，五万余狂热迷与恶劣天气相对抗。

Fifty-thousand festival-goers were battling against the elements yesterday as the Burning Man festival got underway for its 25th year .

谷歌的第一次涂鸦创作于1998年，用以纪念反传统文化节日火人节。火人节在内华达州的硅谷很受欢迎，当时的谷歌执行董事长埃里克施密特，创始人拉里佩奇和谢尔盖布林都参与了设计。

The firm 's first Doodle was created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man festival , a counter-culture gathering in Nevada popular in Silicon Valley and attended by Google 's executive chairman Eric Schmidt , and its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin .

说得像我们今年真会允许Malia去火人节似的。

再看看一大批正在火人节（BurningMan）欢度春假的人群中穿梭，或者在西南偏南音乐节（SouthbySouthwest）袒露健美体格的科技工作者（其中包括投资人、加密货币传道者泰勒o文克莱沃斯那犹如奥林匹斯山诸神的强健身躯）。

Look at the hordes of young tech workers navigating the Spring Break crowds at Burning Man and South by Southwest baring their toned physiques ( including the literally Olympian torso of Tyler Winklevoss , the investor and cryptocurrency evangelist ) .

又是向黑岩沙漠盆地旅行出发的时刻，这幅图片总结了过去三界火人节的事故报告。

观察家们说“火人节”在过去的15年中，在更多规则和限制下变得比Thunderdome（另一美国艺术项目）更像沙漠大都会，根本原因是它的定义仍在保持。

Many observers say Burning Man has become more desert metropolis than during the past 15 years , with more rules and restrictions , the fundamental things that define Burning Man are still intact.Thunderdome

布赖恩·道尔蒂自1995年以来每年都去黑岩城，2004年他写了《这就是“火人节”》，本书记载了盛会的历史、组织者和文化。

Brian Doherty has been making the annual trek to Black Rock City since 1995 . In 2004 , he wrote the book , ' This Is Burning Man , ' which chronicles the event 's history , organizers and culture .

2011年的盛会开始前不久，道尔蒂说：“‘火人节’已经和早期不同，如果有什么没变，就是它可以让一个温文尔雅的人不计后果的（除了不舒服的碱烧伤）赤裸着在干盐湖的泥里打滚。”

Early Burning Man 's has changed , Doherty said shortly before the 2011 event began . What hasn 't changed , Doherty said , is that it can compel a mild-mannered accountant to roll naked in playa mud without fear of consequences ( except for an uncomfortable alkali burn ) .
