by Bruce E. Bagnell

Thelatest fad in Tokyo is dressing up as a video game character and zooming aroundthe world’s largest city.
装扮成电玩游戏角色并在世界上最大的城市中四处奔驰是东京最新的流行风潮。

They proposed changesto make go-karts safer without taking the fun out of the ride.
　　First, allgo-kart models are required to riseone meter above ground level, giving drivers in other vehicles a better chanceto see them. Next, the hard plastic steering wheel▼ coverhad to be replaced by a soft one to avoid injuries in theevent of an accident. Rear-view mirrors▼ werealso added, but most importantly, the go-karts were equipped with seat belts▼that mustbe fastened▼ to prevent drivers from getting traffic tickets.
　　Helmetswill continue to be optional sincethey interfere with theSuper Mario costumes. __5__ Tokyo is a world-class city well worth visiting. Ifyou go there, be prepared to see cartoon characters driving go-karts around thecity.
(A) MariCar has upgraded theirgo-kart models to reach a peak speedof 60 kph, enabling them to keep up with city traffic.
(B) Ten of the victims wereforeigners who were possibly unfamiliar withdriving on the left side ofthe road.
(C) An entrepreneur spottedan opportunity to let drivers act out theirdreams of playing Mario Kart in real life, and MariCar wasborn.

冲刺吧卡丁车！街头变装游日本

装扮成电玩游戏角色并在世界上最大的城市中四处奔驰是东京最新的流行风潮。

　　

　　一切都始于 2011 年。日本两名汽车驾驶人穿上水管工服装、戴上假胡须并装扮成任天堂的玛利欧和路易吉，在东京街道的车流中被发现。有位企业家发现了一个机会，可以实现驾驶人在现实生活进行《玛利欧赛车》（编按：这是以任天堂旗下知名游戏玛利欧系列人物为背景开发的赛车游戏，特色是可使用各式道具帮助自己与陷害对手。）的梦想，MariCar 便应运而生。它很快就成为日本（超级玛利欧兄弟游戏的发明地）最热门又吸引人的现象之一。
　　卡丁车是一种有时会用于儿童赛车比赛的四轮、低底盘车辆。MariCar 将他们卡丁车的机型升级以达到最高时速六十公里，这使它们能够跟上城市车流的速度。然而，卡丁车只比地面高出七十公分，这让公交车和卡车驾驶者很难看见它们。卡丁车似乎在自找事故，而这个问题的解答在不久后便出现了。
　　在这个世界上交通最安全的城市之一，MariCar 在短短两个月内就涉及了十二起交通事故。其中有十名受害者是外国人，他们可能不熟悉在道路左侧驾驶。值得庆幸的是，没有死亡事故发生，但日本的交通部仍马上采取了行动。他们提出一些能让卡丁车变得更安全的改变，而且不会减少驾车的乐趣。
　　首先，所有机型的卡丁车都被要求要高于地面一公尺，让其他车辆的驾驶人比较有机会能注意到它们。接着，硬质塑料制的方向盘套必须由柔软的塑料代替，以防止发生事故时受伤。车子也加装后照镜，但最重要的是，这些卡丁车都配备必须系紧的安全带，以免驾驶人被开罚单。
　　因为安全帽会妨碍超级玛利欧的服装，因此将可以选择是否要配戴。驾驶时不戴安全帽也可以让驾驶者拥有较佳的视野，并拥有一种在车流中前进的感觉。东京是个值得一游的世界级都市。如果你去到那里，准备好观看城市周围有卡通角色在驾驶卡丁车。
答案： 1. C　　2. A　　3. F　　4. B　　5.D
