"國際枕頭大戰日"

的確，沒有什麼比一場絕妙枕頭大戰來得能夠甩掉壓力。

上週，世界各地成千上萬的狂歡份子參與了大型枕頭戰，歡慶國際枕頭大戰日。今年人們十分踴躍參與此活動，超過一百個城市參與，包括倫敦、巴黎、布達佩斯和柏林。

在活動中，來自各個年齡層的人們在大庭廣眾之下一決勝負，使用自己的武器──最大顆、最蓬鬆、最柔軟的枕頭──讓那些城市充斥了一團團的潔白無瑕。在紐約，人們扮成超級英雄打擊惡棍。而在香港，許多人扯開他們的鬆軟枕頭，然後把那些蓬鬆的羽毛丟向空中。儘管參加者獲允能夠攻打陌生人，但規定不能打拿相機的人，或是攻擊「手無吋枕」的一般民眾。

城市樂園運動於2008年開創此活動，枕頭大戰日旨在要成為充滿正面能量的有趣一天。這場枕頭大戰據傳是籌畫來讓人們走出戶外並且發洩壓力的方式。

(Culture) International Pillow Fight Day

Indeed, there is nothing like a good pillow fight to blow off some steam.

The International Pillow Fight Day was celebrated last week with thousands of revelers around the world taking part in giant pillow fights. This years event saw active participation from more than 100 cities, including London, Paris, Budapest and Berlin.

During the event, people of all ages could be seen battling it out in public spaces with their weapon V the biggest, fluffiest and plushiest pillow, filling the cities with clouds of white. In New York, people dressed up as superheroes battled villains. While in Hong Kong, many people ripped their fluffy pillows apart and threw the loose feathers in the air. Although the participants were allowed to bash strangers, they were not allowed to hit anyone with a camera or any unarmed civilians.

Created by the Urban Playground Movement in 2008, the day is meant to be a fun day that is full of positive energy. The pillow fights are said to be organized as a way to get people outside and release stress.
