托福詞匯之“跑步經濟 the economics of running”

　　近年，身旁跑步的人愈來愈多。周末淩晨去奧林匹克叢林公園，你會看到很多多少跑團在運動，並且每小我的設備都相稱專業。一樣平常來講，如許的運動介入者漸漸增多，天然會催生對活動打扮、鞋類和配套設備的需求。如許一來，跑步這一門買賣也就算成型了。

　　There are two areas in which runners are prime consumers: footwear and events. In addition, runners often spend on other areas, such as apparel, accessories, books, magazines, coaching, specialty food and drink, and so on. The number of runners is increasing, and the economics of running is growing with it.

　　跑步人群在兩個方面的重要的花費群體：跑步鞋和賽事。別的，他們還會在打扮、配飾、書本、雜誌、鍛練、專用飲食等方面有付出。跟著跑步人群漸漸強大，跑步經濟也隨之成長起來。

　　Runners are always going to need shoes and they are always going to be looking for races. It has always been thus, and will continue to be so. Both of these markets have matured during the past 30 or more years, but if history is any guide, are nowhere near saturation, because shoes will continue to wear out (quickly!) and events are even more disposable.

　　跑步的人老是須要買鞋，他們也一向都邑找一些賽事去介入。這類情形曩昔如斯，將來也是同樣。跑步設備和賽事的市場在曩昔30多年間日益成熟，但還遠遠沒有到達飽和的狀況，由於跑鞋總會穿破(真的很快會破)，而賽事老是辦完一個另有另外一個。

　　In addition, as fast as consumers leave the sport, new ones appear. The growth in running, particularly in running in organized events, has increased in recent years beyond the expectations of even the most wildly optimistic manufacturers, retailers and event managers.

　　並且，固然賡續有人分開跑步活動，但新的人群在賡續參加。跑步活動的遍及，特別是跑步賽事在近年增加的範圍遠遠超越了全部活動產物臨盆商、零售商和賽事構造者的預期。

　　Runners have shown a strong desire to participate in certain events, regardless of the entry fees. In economic terms, demand has outweighed supply, at least as it applies to some big-ticket events, the key word being "event." A distinction must be drawn between a "race" and an "event." The former offers participants primarily the competition itself, while the latter is certified entertainment, with corporate sponsorship, high quality food and drinks, music, cheering spectators, big crowds and inevitability—high entry fees.

　　跑步喜好者有猛烈的意願加入一些賽事運動，而不會計算報名用度若幹。在經濟學上來講，這叫求過於供，最少在一些大牌的賽事上來講，是如許的情形。這裏的癥結詞便是“event”。咱們要搞清晰race(競賽)和event(運動)的差別。競賽便是讓你加入一個跑步的競賽，而(賽事)運動是經由掛號認證的文娛運動，有團體資助，優良的飲食，音樂，啦啦隊，大量觀眾，固然，另有昂揚的報名費。
