　　Introduction

　　Evidence abounds that people’s craving for adrenaline and dopamine has fueled thrill-seeking activities such as paragliding, parkour, rappelling and wingsuit flying. While this new appetite for risky or even sometime grisly hobbies has invited much skepticism over its safety.

　　解析

　　有大量证据表明，人们对肾上腺素和多巴胺的渴望推动了滑翔伞、跑酷、绳索下降和翼装飞行等寻求刺激的活动。但这种对冒险甚至有时是可怕的爱好的新胃口引起了对其安全性的许多怀疑。

　　Body 1

　　Granted, wisdom of such undertaking is mostly comprised of peak-happiness moments that efficiently unbind and peel away one’s built-up tension, which is especially true after a year of indoor confinement due to the COVID-19 epidemic. But even veterans who follow correct protocols may barely make it home without any mishap; a string of uncertainties, be gusts of wind or altering tidal patterns, may result in all eventualities that we mortals may regret. This grave worry is a major hindrance that could hardly be overcome, due to the fact that these newfangled sports are often held in remote locations with limited or no access to medical treatment.

　　解析

　　当然，从事这些运动项目的智慧主要在于幸福时刻，它能有效地解开和剥离一个人积累的紧张情绪，尤其是在因新冠肺炎疫情而被关在室内一年之后。但是，即使是遵循正确规程的经验丰富的运动员，也很难在没有任何事故的情况下回家;一连串的不确定因素，无论是阵风还是潮汐模式的改变，都可能导致我们凡人可能后悔的所有不测。这种严重的担忧是一个难以克服的重大障碍，因为这些新奇的体育运动往往在医疗条件有限或无法获得治疗的偏远地区举行。

　　❖ wisdom 智慧

　　❖ unbind 解开

　　❖ peel away 剥离

　　❖ built-up 积累的

　　Body 2

　　But possible calamities do not necessitate an arbitrary sanction on hazardous sports, since a total prohibition inevitably creates perverse incentives for thriller-seekers to cut corners and compromise on their rappelling equipment and skills. Instead, health and safety regulations need to be tightened to accommodate various sports. For example, one-piece suit for protection, protective goggles and leather gloves should be provided to board riders in case of crash, while participation in an extreme sport alone should be made illegal. Put another way, if this craze and fad for challenging one’s limitation were well-regulated and well-coordinated by law enforcement, it would offer more than unwinding one’s stress, perhaps turbocharging economic growth in the long term.

　　解析

　　但是，可能发生的灾难并不意味着需对危险运动进行武断的制裁，因为全面禁止不可避免地会给寻求刺激的人带来不正当的激励，让他们走捷径，在他们的绳索下降设备和技能上妥协。相反，健康和安全法规需要加强，以适应各种运动。例如，滑板运动员必须穿戴防护服、护目镜和皮手套，以防发生碰撞，而单独参加极限运动则是违法的。换句话说，如果这种挑战个人极限的疯狂潮流得到执法部门的良好监管和协调，它可能带来的不仅仅是缓解人们的压力，从长远来看，或许还能加速经济增长。

　　❖ calamities 灾难

　　❖ arbitrary武断的

　　❖ sanction制裁

　　Ending Paragraph

　　In conclusion, condemning challenging sports as a formidable murderer is an overly simplistic view, and we must respond to this issue with effective oversight, standardized safety procedures, as well as proper training and equipment.

　　❖ overly simplistic 过于简单化的

　　❖ oversight 监督
