在慕尼黑啤酒节期间，一款热门游乐设施的经营者开始向女性免费分发骑行短裤。此前，社交媒体上出现了大量窥视女性的视频。其中一些视频的观看次数达到了数百万次；据报道，某位女性因将这些视频上传到网上而赚取了数千欧元。
The operator of a popular amusement ride at the Munich Oktoberfest has been handing out free cycling shorts to women, after thousands of voyeuristic videos emerged on social media. Some videos showing women on the Teufelsrad or Devil's Wheel, have been viewed millions of times. One is said to have made thousands of euros for a woman who posted it online.
“Teufelsrad”（魔鬼轮）是啤酒节期间最古老的游乐设施之一。这个圆形平台会不断加速旋转，直到乘客从上面掉下来；由于旋转的冲击力和速度，乘客的裙子常常会被掀起。在德国，拍摄女性裙底的内容属于违法行为，最高可判处两年监禁。
The Teufelsrad is one of the oldest attractions at the Oktoberfest, the annual beer festival which comes to an end this weekend after 16 days. Its circular platform rotates faster and faster until its riders fall off, and the motion and speed often make skirts fly up. Filming under skirts is illegal in Germany, and carries a two-year sentence in jail.
然而批评者认为现行法律力度不够严厉；据当地媒体BR报道，这些视频中女性穿着传统德式连衣裙的画面常常暴露了她们的内衣。有时这些图片还会被经过数字处理，被篡改为裸体画面。据BR的调查，这些视频的幕后黑手是一群来自乌克兰的专业YouTube博主以及几名巴伐利亚人。
However, critics believe the law does not go far enough, and the videos of women on the Teufelsrad in their traditional dirndl dresses often show their underwear. Sometimes, the images have been digitally altered to show them naked, according to local broadcaster BR. One woman made €9,000 (£7,650) from a single clip, according to BR, whose investigations found that a group of professional YouTubers from Ukraine and several people from Bavaria were behind the videos.
据慕尼黑《南德意志报》报道，目前网上流传着至少3.2万段关于“Teufelsrad”上女性的视频，其中一些视频的观看次数已超过数百万次。
At least 32,000 videos of women on the Teufelsrad have been in circulation, according to Munich-based daily Süddeutsche Zeitung. Some have apparently been viewed millions of times.
“Teufelsrad”的经营者伊丽莎白·波拉奇（Elisabeth Polaczy）告诉BBC：“在过去三年里，我一直向穿着连衣裙的女性和女孩免费分发骑行短裤，以防止人群中的不法分子拍摄她们。”她表示：“在这个啤酒节期间，我已经分发了100多条骑行短裤。我愿意尽一切努力让人们感到安全。”现年80岁的波拉奇坦言，虽然购买这些短裤的成本不低，但为了自己的安心，这一切都是值得的。
The operator of the Teufelsrad, Elisabeth Polaczy, told the BBC that, for the past three years, she has been handing out free cycling shorts to women and girls wearing dresses, to protect them from people filming in the crowd. This Oktoberfest she has handed out more than 100 pairs, she says: "I want to do everything I can to make people feel secure." Polaczy, who is now 80, said donating cycling shorts wasn't cheap, but it was worth it for her own peace of mind.
“Teufelsrad”帐篷上挂满了用德语和英语写成的警示标志及警方海报，明确禁止在女性裙下进行拍摄；不过Polaczy表示，根本无法阻止所有使用智能手机进行拍摄的人。
The Teufelsrad tent is hung with signs and police posters in German and English warning against filming under people's skirts, but Polaczy says it is impossible to control everyone filming with smart phones.
今年啤酒节的一些女服务员表示，她们开始在德式传统服装（Dirndl）里面穿自行车短裤。
Some waitresses at this year's beer festival say they have also started wearing cycling shorts under their dirndls.
巴伐利亚警方的一位发言人告诉BBC，自2025年起，警方就在啤酒节期间持续开展相关宣传活动，提醒人们不要在女性裙下拍摄。
A spokesman for the Bavarian police told the BBC that since 2025, it has run a poster campaign at the Oktoberfest, warning against upskirting.
今年，警方逮捕了一名45岁的瑞士男子，因为他使用手机在一名德国女性的德式传统服装下进行拍摄；去年共有10人因此被捕，2024年则有7人被捕。
This year, police arrested a 45-year-old Swiss man for using his phone to film under a German woman's dirndl. Last year there were 10 arrests for upskirting and seven in 2024.
然而，致力于帮助数字暴力受害者的非营利组织Hate Aid的负责人Josephine Ballon告诉BBC，现行的法律对这种行为的惩罚力度还不够严厉。她指出，现行法律仅适用于“故意在女性裙下拍摄”的情况，而对于裙子意外被掀起并因此被拍摄的情况，则不受法律约束。
However, Josephine Ballon, who heads German non-profit organisation Hate Aid, which aims to support victims of digital violence, told the BBC that the current law against upskirting does not provide enough protection. Although she says there are plans for a new law, current legislation "applies only when you film under the skirt", and not when a skirt simply flies up and gets photographed.
她还认为，新型的带有摄像功能的眼镜也构成了新的威胁。她主张，任何将女性私密照片上传到互联网的人，以及发布这些照片的平台，都应受到惩罚。
The new camera glasses are also a threat, she believes. Ballon wants anyone who has uploaded intimate pictures of women on the internet to be punished, along with the platforms that put them up.
与此同时，慕尼黑市政府正在加强对那些通过社交媒体内容获利、并希望在啤酒节期间进行拍摄的网红和内容创作者的监管。慕尼黑已禁止在啤酒节期间进行直播，并要求所有想要拍摄的人必须获得市政府颁发的许可证（该许可证需付费获取）。
Meanwhile, the city of Munich has sought to tighten up on influencers and content creators who earn money from their social media postings and who want to film at the Oktoberfest. Munich has banned broadcasting live streams from the festival and requires anyone who wants to film there to hold a permit, which is issued by the city for a fee.
今年，已有数百份许可证被发放给那些通过产品植入或赞助等方式盈利的网红。
Hundreds of licences have been issued this year to influencers, who make money from product placement or sponsoring.
