杭州电竞小镇

近年来，电竞产业在中国迎来蓬勃发展。作为2022年亚运会主办城市，杭州正致力于打造世界电竞之都。下面，请跟双语君一起来了解一下这个小镇吧！

Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, is a tourism hotspot with scenic lakes, thousand-year-old temples, and now a brand-new e-sports town complex spanning 360,000 square meters (that's the size of about 68 football fields).

浙江省杭州市是一个旅游胜地，拥有风景如画的湖泊和千年古刹，而现在一座电竞小镇又在这里崭新落成。这座小镇占地面积约36万平方米(大约相当于68个足球场)。

The town, operated by the local government, opened its doors to the public on Nov 16. It cost 2 billion yuan($290 million) to build, Fox Sports Asia reported. LGD Gaming, a Chinese e-sports organization that owns several successful teams, and Allied Gaming, which owns a network of e-sports arenas around the world, have a joint office and e-sports venue in the complex.

这个电竞小镇由当地政府管理，11月16日起向公众开放。据美国福克斯体育亚洲站的报道，这个小镇的修建耗资达20亿元(2，900万美元)。中国LGD电子竞技俱乐部和联盟电竞在这里设有联合办事处以及电竞馆。前者拥有多支战绩斐然的电竞团队，后者布局了全球电竞场馆枢纽。

According to an article on People.cn, the city expects the complex to attract more than 10,000 aspiring e-sports professionals and 1 billion yuan in tax revenues. Hangzhou said it plans to build 14 facilities before 2022 and will invest up to 15.45 billion yuan to do so. These new projects will include a theme park, an e-sports academy, an e-sports-themed hotel, and even a hospital specializing in treating players.

据人民网报道，该电竞城预计将吸引超过10，000名电子竞技职业选手，并创造10亿元的税收。杭州官方表示，电竞小镇计划在2022年前打造14个电竞项目，投资金额高达154.5亿元。这些新项目包括:一个主题公园、一所电子竞技学院、一家以电子竞技为主题的酒店，甚至还有一家专门为选手提供治疗的运动康复中心。

The complex is the first of its kind to open in China. It will not be the last. Tencent is building a venue in the city of Wuhu, Anhui province. That development will have an e-sports university and an e-sports theme park, among other facilities. Earlier this year, Taicang, Jiangsu province, announced plans to open an e-sports town.

这是中国建立的第一个电竞小镇，而这仅仅是一个开始。目前，腾讯也正在安徽省芜湖市打造电竞小镇。该项目将建设一所电子竞技大学和一个电子竞技主题公园等。年初，江苏省太仓市也公布了电竞小镇的建设规划。

Hangzhou has an edge on the global competition. The city will play host to the next Asian Games in 2022, where e-sports are expected to be an official medal event (in 2018, it was a demonstration sport). A Forbes report estimates that e-sports industry revenues could be$1.65 billion by 2021 worldwide, and China alone is estimated to drive 18 percent of total e-sports revenues in 2018. With its investments, Hangzhou is getting ahead in the game.

杭州在国际电竞舞台上有竞争优势。2022年的亚运会将在杭州举办，届时电子竞技将正式成为比赛项目(在2018年亚运会上，电竞还只是表演项目)。《福布斯》报道称，到2021年，全球电子竞技产业的收入预计将达16.5亿美元。2018年，仅中国就为全球电子竞技总收入贡献了18%。重金投资下，杭州在电竞行业中逐渐处于领先地位。

Financial Times reported the rise of e-sports in China has been even more dramatic than elsewhere. Nevertheless, money has poured into Chinese e-sports, and the country now has a pivotal influence in the global market.

《金融时报》报道，与其他国家相比，中国电子竞技的发展引人瞩目。随着大量资金的注入，中国已经在电竞领域举足轻重。

The main winners from e-sports have been game developers, for whom China is their biggest market, according to consultancy Niko Partners.

尼科咨询公司称，电竞产业的最大赢家是游戏开发商，而中国正是他们最大的市场。

China is home to more than a dozen professional e-sports teams. Top players can demand more than 1 million yuan a year in wages, while transfer fees for top players are typically around 1 million yuan to 2 million yuan.

中国有十多支职业电竞队。顶级选手的年薪可能超过100万元，而他们的转会费一般在100万至200万元。

"Wealthy founders realize that it is no longer enough to rely on their own money," said David Ng, EDG's chief executive. "They must introduce investors and find a business model."

EDG电竞俱乐部总裁吴历华说:“资金充足的创始人意识到，仅凭一己之力是不够的。他们必须吸引投资者，并找到一种商业模式。”
