I’m heading down to Calgary for the greatest outdoor show on earth, the Calgary Stampede.
Oil may have helped Calgary grow into a city of one million people, and the 1988 Winter Olympics helped put it firmly on the world map, but what Calgary is best known for, is the ten days of cowboy madness known as the Calgary Stampede. The whole city gets involved. Cowboys come from all over to compete for big money, and the attention of the local cowgirls.
Started in 1912, the Calgary Stampede has become one of the world’s largest outdoor 3)rodeo events, getting over a million visitors every July. This parade is what 4)kicks off the ten-day party. The parade gives Western Canada’s widely mixed community a chance to 5)strut their stuff.
The Calgary Stampede, one of the 50 things to do before you die.
Crowds: 5…4…3…2…1.
The main events of the stampede take place in the grandstand 6)arena: bull riding, 7)chuck wagon racing,8)steer wrestling, 9)bronco riding, and even the kids get involved. They’re called “Mutton 10)Busters.”
The most famous event of the rodeo is the chuck wagon races. They started here and the ones in Calgary are the best in the world. Buddy Bensmiller is one of the best of the best. He won the chuck wagon races last year. His father started a family tradition, and his sons are continuing it.
Reporter: Is this the biggest day for you, today?
Buddy: Well, this is the biggest Stampede in ten days. If a guy can win it, that’ll be the biggest day of the year.
Reporter: What do you win?
Buddy: Ah, there’s a truck up to win, if you can win the 11)aggregate, and $10,000. And then if you can get into the dash and draw the lucky barrel and come out with no 12)penalties, well, you can win 50.
Reporter: Fifty thousand dollars?
Buddy: Fifty thousand.
Reporter: And you won that last year?
Buddy: I won it last year, yeah.

“Remember, even a kick in the15)caboose is a step forward.”
“A smart 16)ass just don’t fit in the 17)saddle.”
“Never miss a good chance to shut up.”
Chuck wagons like these helped cowboys live their life on the range, carrying cook stoves, food and tents. Eighty years ago they started racing them here in Calgary. And now they’re one of the featured events of the Stampede.
我要前往卡尔加里参加全球最大的户外表演，卡尔加里牛仔节。
石油协助卡尔加里发展成为百万人口城市，而1988年在那里举办的冬季奥运更奠定了其世界地位。不过卡尔加里最著名的是为期十天的牛仔狂 欢——享负盛名的卡尔加里牛仔节。在这期间，整个城市都沉浸其中。来自各地的牛仔到这里来争夺丰厚奖金，以及当地女牛仔的注意力。
卡尔加里牛仔节始于1912年，现已成为全球最大的户外牛仔竞技赛之一，每年7月吸引逾一百万名游客。巡游为十天的盛会揭开序幕，这给了加拿大西部各式人种混杂的社区大众一个表演的机会。
参加卡尔加里牛仔节，是你一生中应该做的五十件事之一。
群众：5，4，3，2，1。
重头节目都在大型场馆里举行，包括骑蛮牛、马拉车比赛、跟公牛摔跤，还有骑野马，甚至小孩子也参加，他们被称为“小羊征服者”。
其中最著名的牛仔竞赛是马拉车比赛。这项比赛起源于此地，而且卡尔加里的赛事是全球最棒的。巴迪·宾斯米勒是其中的佼佼者，他去年就夺得了马拉车比赛冠军。他的父亲开始了这一家族传统，而他的儿子们正将其发扬光大。
记者：今天是你的大日子吗？
巴迪：呃，是十天牛仔节里最重要的竞赛。若能胜出，那可是一年中最重大的日子。
记者：有什么奖品？
巴迪：啊，最终胜出的话，可以获得一辆卡车以及一万加元的奖金。若你能进入冲刺阶段，拽一下幸运酒桶后还能全身而退，就可以夺得五万加元。
记者：五万加元？
巴迪：五万加元。
记者：去年你胜出了？
巴迪：是的，我去年赢了。

“即使当车务员，也是迈进一步。”
“有点小聪明的笨蛋也不宜骑马。”
“千万别错过任何一个可以闭嘴的良机。”
过去，这种马拉车帮助牛仔在牧场过活，可以用来运载炉子、食物以及帐篷。马拉车赛跑八十年前已在卡尔加里举行，现在已成为盛会中的瞩目赛事之一。
