I think thrill seekers are people who want to live life to the fullest. People who don’t actually fear death. These are the kind of people that are able to really live for ever moment and when they’re on their death beds, they'll have no regrets because they will have done everything they wanted!

我觉得寻求刺激的人是那些想要完整生命体验的人。他们不惧怕死亡，只是想在当下体验生活。当他们走到生命尽头的时候，他们不会觉得遗憾，因为他们已经尽可能的做了他们想做的一切 ！

It’s safe and it gives you a great scare. Really makes you feel alive. But then some people may find it too scary and other might need something a little crazier. But for me, it’s just perfect.

它很安全，也能给你足够的恐惧。让你觉得自己还活着。有人觉得过山车太过于吓人，但也有人觉得还不够疯狂。但是对我来说，已经很不错了。

If you want a thrill without getting outta the house, watch a horror movie or a good fight. But you guys are in China, you can go off to Macau and do the second biggest bungee jumping the world!

如果你在家里想被吓一吓，看个恐怖片或者动作片也不错。在中国，你可以去澳门的世界第二大的蹦极体验下。

Sky diving, bungee jumping, bull³ riding. Bull riding is a bit dangerous though. Only professionals should do that. It’s when a cowboy tries to stay on a raging bull without falling off for a certain amount of time.

跳伞，蹦极，骑牛大赛。但是骑牛是有点危险的，只有专业的骑牛手才能做这样的事情。一个牛仔骑在非常愤怒的牛上，一旦上去就要保持在一定时间内保持不掉下来。

You want to have a real thrill? go to your girlfriend. Look her dead in the eye and tell her she's ugly and needs to loose weight. Then run like hell⁴.

你想要真正的兴奋感吗？找你的女朋友然后看着她的眼睛，告诉她她很丑，需要减肥。那你就得赶紧跑了~
