For two full weeks, people on Easter Island sing, dance, and party each night and enjoy sports competitions during the days. One big event is a triathlon that involves paddling on a reed canoe, running around a lake carrying two huge bunches of bananas, and then swimming across the lake. Another unique tradition is the Haka Pei. In this extreme sport, competitors slide down a steep hill on a sled made of banana tree trunks.


在整整两周的期间,复活节岛上的人每晚载歌载舞、狂欢享乐,并在白天享受体育赛事。其中一项大型赛事是铁人三项,这包含划著一艘由芦苇制成的独木舟、扛著两大串香蕉绕著一座湖赛跑,接著泳渡湖。另一项独特的传统是 Haka Pei。在这项极限运动中,参赛者乘坐由香蕉树树干制成的长橇,滑下一座陡峭的山坡。
