旅游帶火“特種兵”

劉明奇

2023 年，春天來臨之時(shí)，隨著各種小長假到來，人們紛紛走出家門，開啟了遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)近近的旅游。于是，旅游成為熱門話題，“特種兵式旅游”火遍全網(wǎng)。例如：

（2） 熱門城市、熱門景點(diǎn)開啟“人從眾”模式，在年輕人群體中悄悄興起了一種很新的旅游方式—“特種兵式旅游”。（《安慶日報(bào)》2023年5 月29 日）

In 2023， as spring brought along numerousshort public holidays， many people tookadvantage of these opportunities to exploredestinations both near and far from theirhomes. As a result， tourism became a trendingsubject， and the term “special forces-styletourism” swiftly gained popularity on theinternet. For example：

（2） As famous cities and mainstream touristspots continue to draw huge crowds， a newform of travel， known as “special forcesstyletourism，” is catching on among theyounger generation. （Anqing Daily， May29th， 2023）

“特種兵式旅游”是指越來越多的當(dāng)代年輕人選擇在有限的時(shí)間和花銷內(nèi)盡可能去多個景點(diǎn)旅游。我們都知道，“特種兵”一詞是指單兵作戰(zhàn)能力極強(qiáng)、適合在各種惡劣條件下完成作戰(zhàn)任務(wù)的兵種。為何“旅游”也會搭配上“特種兵”模式？

The term “spec ial forcesstyletourism” represents a trendamong young travellers who aimto maximize their experienceswithin the constraints of limitedtime and budgets. We all recognizethat “special forces” are renownedfor their exceptional adaptability in accomplishingmissions in diverse and challenging environments.But how did this military term become associatedwith tourism？

“特種兵式旅游”最初是大學(xué)生出游時(shí)用來自我調(diào)侃的一種說法。他們趁雙休日去不同城市旅游，立志打卡盡可能多的景點(diǎn)與美食，還要做到準(zhǔn)時(shí)趕回學(xué)校上周一的早課，因時(shí)間緊、任務(wù)重，所以將旅游安排得像一場特種兵的拉練。例如：

（3）這種旅游方式行程密集，夜間坐火車，白天可能步行十幾二十公里，去十來個景點(diǎn)……大學(xué)生們稱這種很消耗體力的旅游方式為“特種兵式旅游”。（《杭州日報(bào)》2023 年4 月10 日）

（4）兩天三城，一天連刷十幾個景點(diǎn)，晚上只睡3 小時(shí)，日行8 萬步……最近，大學(xué)生“特種兵式”旅游火了。（《勞動者報(bào)》2023 年4 月14 日）

Initially， college students playfully coined thisterm to describe their travel adventures. Theyembraced the challenge of exploring variousattractions and trying out diverse cuisines duringweekends， all the while ensuring they returned intime for their Monday classes. This style of travelmirrors the rigorous schedules and training of specialforces personnel. For instance：

（3） This style of travel involves a tight schedule，with overnight train rides and daily treksspanning ten to twenty kilometers for around?a dozen attractions... College students describethis physically demanding style of travel as“special forces-style tourism.” （Hangzhou Daily，April 10th， 2023）

（4） Picture yourself on a tour of three cities injust two days， exploring more than a dozenattractions in a single day， getting only threehours of sleep each night， and taking 80，000steps daily... College students have been buzzingabout the “special forces-style tourism” recently.（LAO DONG ZHE BAO， April 14th， 2023）

從認(rèn)知的角度來看，用“特種兵式”來修飾“旅游”，正是借用了“特種兵”身上的兩大特征—體能的高度消耗和時(shí)間的高效利用。說話人用特種兵所具有的特征來喻指這場旅行的挑戰(zhàn)性與高效性。

From a cognitive perspective， the modifier“special forces-style” cleverly incorporates twodefining characteristics of special forces： demandingphysical endurance and efficient time management.The term metaphorically emphasizes the challengingyet well-organized nature of this travel experience.

從修辭的角度來看，用“特種兵式”來修飾“旅游”，是運(yùn)用了夸張手法，說話人的目的在于突顯大學(xué)生的兩種狀態(tài)反差—日常狀態(tài)與旅游狀態(tài)。在一場旅行中，大學(xué)生能精密計(jì)劃并嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行時(shí)間表中的內(nèi)容，能堅(jiān)持完成在平日學(xué)習(xí)或工作中不可能完成的體力活動?！疤胤N兵式旅游”形象地反映了當(dāng)代大學(xué)生在日常生活與旅行中，身體和精神方面兩種完全不同狀態(tài)的對比。

From a rhetorical standpoint， using “special forces” to describe “tourism” serves asa dramatic exaggeration， highlighting the vast difference between the daily routines ofuniversity students and their adventurous journeys. It suggests a kind of travel where carefulplanning is essential， and sticking to the schedule is a must， pushing students to embracephysical activities they might not usually engage in during their daily lives. “Special forcesstyletourism” vividly captures the contrast between the physical and mental demands ofeveryday life and travel adventures for university students.

“特種兵式旅游”火爆的背后反映了“兩個高效”現(xiàn)象—“旅人行事高效＋硬件設(shè)施高效”。硬件設(shè)施的日益完備可以說是“特種兵式旅游”的必要條件。交通體系的日益完善、網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)的日趨發(fā)達(dá)、服務(wù)業(yè)質(zhì)量的進(jìn)一步提升，再加上一些熱門景點(diǎn)開放了夜間游覽模式，一些公共場所 24 小時(shí)營業(yè)，為旅游者提供了享用美食與歇腳的場所，這都為“特種兵式旅游”創(chuàng)造了可能性與可行性。例如：

（5）報(bào)道中就有大學(xué)生直言，“特種兵式旅游”本身就是為了節(jié)省開支，來海底撈吃個火鍋順便休息一晚，很劃算。（《德州晚報(bào)》2023 年5 月4 日）

The growth of “special forces-style tourism”is driven by two key factors： improved travellerexperiences and better infrastructure. The continuousenhancements in infrastructure， including moderntransportation systems， advanced informationtechnology networks， and higher service standards， setthe stage for this type of tourism. Furthermore， famousdestinations now offer nighttime tours， and publicvenues have extended their business hours， providingcomfortable dining and relaxation opportunities. Allthese developments make “special forces-style tourism”a practical and budget-friendly choice.For instance：

（5） In the report， several collegestudents admitted that they chose“special forces-style tourism” to saveon expenses. They went to Haidilaofor a hotpot meal and spent a nightthere， just to save money. （DezhouEvening News， May 4th， 2023）

隨著2023 年上半年各種小長假的到來，越來越多的年輕人加入“特種兵式旅游”行列，使得這種旅行方式的主體由大學(xué)生擴(kuò)展為更大的年輕群體。例如：

（6）今年的“五一”小長假，“特種兵式旅游”的主人公，從年輕的大學(xué)生變成了年輕的群體。（《中國婦女報(bào)》2023 年 5 月11 日）

With the advent of various short vacations inthe first half of 2023， a growing number of youngindividuals are embracing the concept of “specialforces-style tourism.” This trend has expandedbeyond college students to include a broader， youngerdemographic. For example：

（6） Over this year’s May Day holiday， the trendof “special forces-style tourism” saw a shift fromprimarily college students to a more diverse groupof young individuals. （China Women’s News， May11th， 2023）

另一方面，“特種兵式”的修飾對象也從“旅游”擴(kuò)展到其他領(lǐng)域，例如：

（7）如果附近的城市定期存款利率比本地高 0.4 個百分點(diǎn)，你會坐上火車去存錢嗎？ 3 月以來，不少江蘇人就這樣組團(tuán)去上海存錢，當(dāng)日往返，被網(wǎng)友稱為“特種兵式存款”。（《北京青年報(bào)》2023 年 5 月12 日）

（8）“特種兵式旅游”結(jié)束，“特種兵式學(xué)習(xí)”來了?！拔逡弧奔倨诤?，多名家長在社交平臺發(fā)文稱自己的孩子在返程路上趕作業(yè)。（《浙江教育報(bào)》2023 年5 月9 日）

Conversely， the concept of “special forces-style”has evolved beyond “tourism” and extended into otherdomains. For instance：

（7） If the regular deposit interest rate in a nearbycity is 0.4 percentage points higher than your localrate， would you hop on a train to deposit yourmoney there？ Since March， folks from JiangsuProvince head to Shanghai in groups for quickdeposit trips， completing a round trip in a singleday. Internet users have humorously coined thisphenomenon as “special forces-style deposit trips.”（Beijing Youth Daily， May 12th， 2023）

（8） “Special forces-style tourism” has transformedinto “special forces-style learning.” Following theMay Day holiday， several parents shared on socialmedia that their children had to work on theirhomework during their journey home. （ZhejiangEducation News， May 9th， 2023）

“特種兵式旅游”也衍生出“特種兵式存款/ 學(xué)習(xí)/ 工作”等多種形式?！疤胤N兵式”走出原本的特殊行業(yè)，被用來修飾日常生活中的某種高能行為，說明“特種兵式 XX”有很強(qiáng)的能產(chǎn)性。我們相信，隨著社會的發(fā)展，“特種兵式 XX”會越來越多，這是社會高效發(fā)展的必然結(jié)果。

“Special forces-style tourism” has inspired similartrends in depositing money， learning， and work. Theterm “special forces-style” has evolved beyond itsinitial context and is now employed to characterizeexceptionally high-performance behaviors in everydaylife. This indicates remarkable productivity. Weanticipate seeing more instances of “special forcesstyle”behaviors as society advances. This trend is anatural result of a more efficient society.
