Don’t be alarmed if fellow passengers start stripping off aboard a metro train in Taipei. Chances are they think they’ve found a swimming pool inside the carriage.
当你乘坐台北的地铁发现有乘客开始脱衣服时不必惊慌。有可能是因为他们在车厢里发现了一个游泳池。
To celebrate being the host city of the upcoming Universiade 2017 -- the Olympics for international university athletes -- the Taiwanese capital has transformed a six-car train into six different sports venues -- a running track, a soccer pitch, a baseball field, a basketball pitch, a field for throwing sports and a swimming pool. And the eye-popping 3D artworks have inspired a few commuters to dive in.
作为举办地，为庆祝即将到来的2017年世界大学生运动会，台北市将一列6节车厢的地铁装饰成了六座不同的比赛场馆，分别是田径跑道、足球场、棒球场、篮球场、田赛场地和游泳池。其惊人的立体效果让许多乘客误以为真。
Many people are still unfamiliar with -- and have never stepped inside -- some of the sports venues, we hope to bring sport closer to their daily life, a spokesperson for the city’s Department of Information and Tourism tells CNN. "By choosing to revamp a train -- an everyday means of commuting, the public will have the opportunity to participate."
台北城市旅游信息部的一位发言人对CNN说：有许多人对某些体育项目的场馆还不太了解，甚至从未步入其中。我们希望通过这种方式使体育运动更加贴近日常生活。之所以选择重新装饰一辆地铁，是因为地铁是人们每天上下班使用最多的交通工具，这样人们也就有了更多机会参与到运动中去。
The swimming pool car, with a floor that resembles a real water surface, has proved to be the most popular and Instagrammable theme so far.
其中游泳池车厢中铺上了一层类似于真实水面的地板，这也是所有车厢中最受欢迎的，也是到目前为止在社交平台上分享最多的。(Instagrammable一词源于图片分享平台Instagram，可理解为值得分享的)
Hsu Tzu-Hsiung, an athlete who has represented Taiwan in international water sports competitions, was one of the passengers spotted in full swim gear. "I waited until most of the passengers got off the train to take those pictures," he says. "I think it’s a fun campaign to raise awareness about sport in general among Taiwanese and get the public to get involved in the games."
Hsu Tzu-Hsiung曾代表台湾参加国际水上运动比赛，他现在也是车厢中穿戴着一身游泳装备的乘客之一。他说道：我特地等到许多乘客都下车了才拍摄了这些照片，我认为这是一个很有趣的活动，它能够激起台湾人民的运动热情，也可以让更多的人参加这项赛事。
The 29th Summer Universiade kicks off on August 19 and closes on August 30. It’s the first time Universiade is held in Taiwan and the game is the biggest sporting event Taiwan has hosted so far.
本届世界大学生运动会将会在8月19日开幕，8月30日结束。这是该赛事首次在台湾举办，同时也是台湾有史以来举办过最大规模的体育盛会。
