This is a hobby that gets me out. Moving my body, getting all those feel-good endorphins of active exercise – so I can almost switch off my medical brain, skate around and just let the, sort of, trauma4 of the pandemic and what I deal with at work, just glide5 away.

“这是个能让我迈出家门的爱好。让身体动起来，分泌积极运动时让人感觉很棒的内啡呔，这样我几乎可以不再去想医学上的事情，而是玩起轮滑，让新冠疫情带来的创伤和在我工作中要处理的事情不知不觉地溜走。”
Roller-skating Google searches doubled in recent months. Thanks, in part, to viral skaters like Oumi Janta from Berlin. Last June, she posted this.
最近几个月，关键词 “轮滑” 在谷歌上的搜索量翻了一番。这在一定程度上要感谢像来自柏林的乌米·詹塔这样的人气溜冰者。去年六月，她发布了这段视频。
Almost three million views later, she's given up her job and made freestyle roller-skating her career.
在视频获得了近300万次的观看量之后，她辞掉了工作，改行以自由式轮滑为职业。

Everything is… has no importance any more when it comes to skating, so you don't think about work, you don't think about money or whatever – you just skate. So this moment has such more [so much] power, it's just that moment is you and skating. It's amazing.
乌米·詹塔 自由式轮滑者
“在玩轮滑时，一切都不再重要了，所以你不会去想工作，也不会去想钱或者别的什么事情，只会沉浸在轮滑运动中。所以只有你和滑轮的时刻是一个有如巨大力量的时刻。这很神奇。”
But it's not just a millennial6 craze. For Mel Blackwood, a small business at home in Leeds with skate lessons from the kitchen, is now a full-time7 job with a shop and staff.
但这不仅仅是千禧一代所追求的流行热潮。梅尔·布莱克伍德在英国利兹家中经营着一个小生意，在厨房里教轮滑课，现在这个小生意已经发展成拥有门店和员工的全职工作。

This time last year, we had a great week if we sold two or three pairs of skates, and now we can be doing ten pairs a day. We're finding our customers are often in their mid3 to late thirties, forties and beyond. And they're coming and saying, "I used to do this as a child, but I've decided8 life's too short, and I want to have another go."

“去年的这个时候，如果我们一周能卖出了两到三双轮滑鞋，那一周的生意就算很好了，而现在我们一天就能卖出十双轮滑鞋。我们顾客的年龄段通常在35岁以上，40岁、甚至更大。常有顾客来店里说：‘我小时候经常玩轮滑，但现在我觉得人生太短暂，要活在当下，所以我想再试着玩一次。' ”
Huge demand for some brands of skate now means long waiting lists. The freedom of roller-skating has captivated so many in these restricted months.
目前，对一些轮滑品牌的大量需求意味着长长的等待名单。在活动受限的这些月份里，轮滑运动带来的自由感使许多人为之着迷。
