有趣!西班牙疊人塔大賽歷經百年風采依舊!

Incredible photographs show thousands of people competing to build the tallest human tower in a traditional contest in Spain.

這些令人難以置信的照片顯示，共有數千人蔘加了西班牙的一項傳統比賽，他們競爭疊起最高的“人塔”。

The Concurs de Castells is a biennial event held in Tarragona, north-east Spain, that sees teams of up to 500 people form impressive towers, known as castells, that are up to 10 tiers high.

“人塔”是西班牙東北部城市塔拉戈納兩年一屆的活動，多達500人的隊伍疊起給人印象深刻、名爲“城堡”的人塔，高度有10層樓那麼高。

The tradition dates back to the 18th century in the Catalonia region and is believed to originate from the human towers built by dance groups.

這一傳統要追溯至18世紀的加泰羅尼亞地區，它被認爲起源於舞蹈團隊疊成的人塔。

Competitors in the same team wear the same colour at the contest. Each team, which includes children, carefully builds its towers with their strongest and heaviest members interlocking their arms at the bottom. Meanwhile, the lightest make a dangerous ascent to the top.

同一支隊伍的參賽者們身穿同一顏色的服裝。每一支隊伍中都包括孩子，身強體壯的成員在底部手挽手小心翼翼地疊“人塔”。同時，最輕盈的成員上升至危險的頂部。

The teams compete over five rounds, with points awarded depending on the difficulty and height of each castell.

這些隊伍要經過超過五輪的競爭，得分依據是每個“人塔”的難度和高度。

However, the competition is not without danger, with some suffering injuries when the towers topple over.

然而，這種競賽並不是沒有危險的，一些人在“人塔”塌陷的時候會受傷。

Around 20,000 spectators from around the world come to watch the spectacle, which is listed on Unesco's cultural heritage list.

來自全世界的約20000位觀衆觀看了這一壯觀的表演，而它也被列入了聯合國教科文組織文化遺產名錄。
