Sometimes travelers wander into cities by accident. But I came to Pamplona that first year to run the bulls. I drove for two days to see if the festival was as wild as James Michener made it sound in his chapter set in Pamplona during the Running of the Bulls in “The drifters”.
The Running of the Bulls lived up to every description and much more – more than I could even imagine. This town for eight or ten days in July became the center of the let-it-all-hang-out, free-love lifestyle of the 1960s and 1970s.
Every day we lived life to its fullest. Rough red country wine with champagne (香槟酒) passed in bottles. Streets were packed shoulder to shoulder with nonstop dancers swaying behind bands. In bars, strangers found themselves best friends arm in arm.
Every morning we faced death. We gathered in the narrow streets and waited to run in front of six half-ton fighting bulls and seven steers barreling up the stones at 8 o’clock on their way to the stadium and their fate. On my first morning in the streets, I didn’t even know what direction the bulls would come from. I quickly figured it out. Diving down to the sidewalk and only getting up when a Spaniard tapped me on the shoulder, I never felt so good for having been missed.
Pamplona was a perfect balance of unvarnished (质朴的) life and possible death. Lifetimes were lived in hours. Inhibitions(压抑) fell to the wayside. Smiling was the only way of life. For my days there, this was life in another world. As a dark-haired Spanish girl said, Pamplona and Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls can’t be explained, they can only be experienced.

有时，旅行者是在无意间与一所城市邂逅的。但在那头一年，我来到潘普洛纳，就是冲着奔牛来的。花了两天车程，我就是想看看它是否真如詹姆士·米歇纳在其《流浪者》中有关潘普洛纳奔牛节的章节里所描述的那般疯狂。奔牛节丝毫不逊色于书中的描写，而且更胜一筹——完全超乎我的想像。在七月的八天或十天内，这座小城变成了六、七十年代那种尽情玩乐、随性放纵生活方式的中心。

每一天，我们都尽情享受生活。浓烈的乡村红酒和香槟被整瓶整瓶（地痛饮）；街道上的人们摩肩接踵，伴随着乐队无休止地舞动着；酒吧里，陌生人也手挽着手，如同好友一般。

每天清晨，我们都面临死亡（的威胁）。我们齐聚在狭窄的街巷里，等待着。八点钟时，六头半吨重的斗牛和七头小骟牛将在石铺路面上狂奔向体育场和它们的宿命，我们要跑在它们前面。我第一次清晨上街时，甚至不知道牛会从哪个方面过来，但我很快就搞清楚了。我跳到道旁蹲下，直到有个西班牙人拍了拍我的肩膀，我才站起来，我从未因为错过某事而感觉如此之好。（译注：指未被奔牛撞上）

潘普洛纳在质朴无华的生活与随时可能的死亡之间保持着完美的平衡。（在这里，）人的一生是以小时计算的，人们从不压抑自己的情感，微笑是生活的唯一方式。对我而言，在那里停留的数日，仿佛是生活在另外一个世界。正如一位黑头发的西班牙姑娘所言：潘普洛纳和它的奔牛节是无法被解释的，它们只能被体会。
