Thelma Okocha had never thought about going to Northern Ireland. 

塞爾瑪·奧科查從來(lái)沒有想過(guò)要去北愛爾蘭,。

Yet here she was, standing on a rocky strap of mossy shore, in the rain. 

而如今她卻來(lái)到了這里，在雨中站在一條長(zhǎng)滿青苔的巖石帶上,。

For her, this is hallowed ground.

對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō),，這是一塊神圣的土地,。

"Euron Greyjoy almost killed Jaime Lannister here," says Okocha, a 29-year-old business intelligence developer who works in New York.

在紐約工作的29歲商業(yè)情報(bào)開發(fā)人員奧科查說(shuō):“尤倫·葛雷喬伊差點(diǎn)殺了杰米·蘭尼斯特,?！?/p>

 Then she motions to a nearby cave where her tour group is huddled. 

然后她走向附近的一個(gè)洞穴，她的旅游團(tuán)在那里圍成一團(tuán),。

"And that's where Melisandre gave birth to that demon shadow that killed Renly Baratheon," she says, "I can't believe I'm here."

“就是在那里,，梅麗珊卓生出了那個(gè)殺死藍(lán)禮·拜拉席恩的惡魔陰影，”她說(shuō),，“我簡(jiǎn)直不敢相信我在這里,。”

By "here," she means Westeros, the fictional land where the wildly popular HBO series Game of Thrones was set. 

她說(shuō)的“這里”指的是維斯特洛,，HBO熱播劇《權(quán)力的游戲》的故事發(fā)生地,。

Much of it was filmed in Northern Ireland. 

這部劇大部分是在北愛爾蘭拍攝的。

The show ended months ago, but superfans like Okocha are reliving it year-round as "set-jetters" — tourists who travel the world visiting the places where their favorite movies and TV shows were filmed.

這部劇在幾個(gè)月前就結(jié)束了,，但是像奧科查這樣的超級(jí)粉絲們一整年都在重溫這部劇,，他們被稱為“取景者”——到世界各地去參觀他們最喜歡的電影和電視劇拍攝地的游客。

"While they are set-jetting, they also see so much more than the set," says Thierry Joliveau, a professor of geography and geomatics at Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Etienne in France, who has studied set-jetting. 

法國(guó)圣艾蒂安大學(xué)的地理學(xué)和地學(xué)教授蒂埃里·喬利夫說(shuō):“當(dāng)他們?cè)谂臄z外景時(shí),，他們看到的遠(yuǎn)不止是場(chǎng)景,。”他研究過(guò)外景拍攝,。

"When my wife and I took the kids on a Harry Potter tour of England, we noticed so many people also discovering famous cathedrals and Oxford University. They walked out of fiction and into real life."

“當(dāng)我和妻子帶著孩子們游覽英國(guó)時(shí),，我們注意到許多人也看到了著名的大教堂和牛津大學(xué)。他們走出了小說(shuō),，走進(jìn)了現(xiàn)實(shí)生活,。”

Set-jetting is trendy these days "because so much of what we perceive these days is based on what we see on screens," says Peter Bolan, senior lecturer at Ulster University in Northern Ireland, who wrote his doctoral dissertation on screen tourism. 

“因?yàn)槲覀儸F(xiàn)在所感知到的很多東西都是基于我們?cè)谄聊簧峡吹降?，”北愛爾蘭阿爾斯特大學(xué)的高級(jí)講師彼得·博蘭說(shuō),，博蘭的博士論文就是關(guān)于取景地旅游的。

"You see it everywhere."

“這種現(xiàn)象隨處可見,?！?/p>

There are tours of Sopranos and Sex and the City sites in New York, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit locales in New Zealand. 

在紐約，你可以參觀《黑道家族》和《欲望都市》,，新西蘭則有《指環(huán)王》和《霍比特人》,。

Greek tourism got a boost from Mamma Mia,which was filmed on the island of Skopelos. 

《媽媽咪呀》在斯科佩羅斯島的拍攝，推動(dòng)了希臘旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展,。

Sound of Music buffs still come to Salzburg, Austria. 

《音樂之聲》的愛好者們則還會(huì)來(lái)到奧地利的薩爾茨堡,。

Scotland even has an entire guide to set-jetting, which includes locales for the "Harry Potter" flicks, the James Bond movie Skyfall and TV shows like Downton Abbey.

蘇格蘭甚至有一整套關(guān)于外景拍攝的指南，包括《哈利波特》系列電影,、詹姆斯邦德系列電影《007:大破天幕殺機(jī)》和《唐頓莊園》等電視劇的拍攝地點(diǎn),。

But no show in recent memory has inspired the set-jetters like Game of Thrones, one of the most successful series in history. 

但在最近的記憶中,，還沒有哪部電視劇像《權(quán)力的游戲》這樣激發(fā)了人們的靈感，《權(quán)力的游戲》是歷史上最成功的電視劇之一,。

"These fans are possibly even more obsessed than the Star Wars crowd," says Bolan, estimating that 350,000 Game of Thrones fans are expected in Northern Ireland this year.

博蘭表示:“這些粉絲可能比《星球大戰(zhàn)》的粉絲更著迷,。”他估計(jì),，今年北愛爾蘭將有35萬(wàn)名《權(quán)力的游戲》粉絲,。

"That's hugely important to Northern Ireland economically, and it's particularly important at the current time because of looming things on the horizon like Brexit," he says. 

他說(shuō):“這對(duì)北愛爾蘭的經(jīng)濟(jì)來(lái)說(shuō)非常重要，在目前這個(gè)時(shí)候尤其重要,，因?yàn)橛?guó)退歐等問(wèn)題正在逼近,。”

Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, is expecting a big economic hit if the UK's divorce from the European Union is finalized next year.

北愛爾蘭是英國(guó)的一部分,，如果英國(guó)與歐盟的“脫歐”協(xié)議在明年最終敲定,，北愛爾蘭預(yù)計(jì)將受到巨大的經(jīng)濟(jì)打擊。

The show was also shot in Croatia, Iceland, Malta and Spain and not all locales are thrilled about the rush of set-jetters. 

這部劇還在克羅地亞,、冰島、馬耳他和西班牙取景,，但并不是所有的地方都對(duì)蜂擁而來(lái)的取景者感到興奮,。

In Dubrovnik, Croatia, local officials are trying to ban new restaurants in the old walled city (or King's Landing) to keep tourists from flooding it.

在克羅地亞的杜布羅夫尼克，當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T正試圖禁止在古城(或君臨)開設(shè)新餐館,，以防止游客涌入,。

But Northern Ireland wants more. 

但是北愛爾蘭想要更多。

"Screen tourism has enabled Northern Ireland to almost reinvent itself, in a sense," Bolan says. 

博蘭說(shuō):“從某種意義上說(shuō),，屏幕旅游使北愛爾蘭幾乎徹底改造了自己,。”

"Before Game of Thrones, tourists wanted to see sites related to The Troubles." (That's the bloody sectarian conflict between Catholics and Protestants that ended in 1998 with the Good Friday peace agreement).

“在《權(quán)力的游戲》之前,，游客們希望看到與一些歷史糾紛有關(guān)的景點(diǎn),。”(指的是天主教徒和新教徒之間的血腥教派沖突,，在1998年耶穌受難日和平協(xié)議結(jié)束),。

"That's what I knew about Northern Ireland," says Okocha, the set-jetter from New York. 

“這就是我對(duì)北愛爾蘭的了解，”來(lái)自紐約的外景地游客奧科查說(shuō),。

"That and the fact the Titanic was built here."

“還有泰坦尼克號(hào)就是在這里建造的,。”

Now Northern Ireland is also Westeros, a place where she could follow in the footsteps of her favorite Game of Thrones character, Arya Stark.

現(xiàn)在北愛爾蘭也成了維斯特洛,，在那里她可以追隨她最喜歡的《權(quán)力的游戲》角色艾莉亞·史塔克的腳步,。

"She's fierce," Okocha says. 

“她勇猛無(wú)比，”奧科查說(shuō)道,。

"She didn't conform to what society thinks a woman should be like. She wanted to be tough. I love that."

“她不符合社會(huì)對(duì)女人的看法,。她想要堅(jiān)強(qiáng),。我喜歡這樣?！?/p>

She stands at the landing where Arya escaped a would-be assassin, then looks up to see the lush, craggy Irish coastline.

她站在平臺(tái)上,，艾莉亞在那里躲過(guò)了刺客的追殺，然后抬頭看到了蒼翠繁茂,、崎嶇不平的愛爾蘭海岸線,。

"Wow," she says. "Oh my God. It's stunning."

“哇,”她說(shuō)?！芭?我的上帝,。這也太美了?！?/p>

Manager Louise McMullan says Game of Thrones set-jetters have revitalized the entire northern coastline.

《權(quán)力的游戲》劇組經(jīng)理路易絲·麥克馬倫表示,，《權(quán)力的游戲》片場(chǎng)的游客讓整個(gè)北部海岸線重新煥發(fā)了生機(jī)。

"It doesn't seem to stop," she says, referring to the tourist rush. "All year round, even in rain or cold, they keep coming."

“似乎沒有盡頭,，”她說(shuō),，指的是游客高峰，“一年到頭,，不管下雨還是寒冷,，他們總是會(huì)來(lái)?！?/p>

Outside, set-jetters pose in front of a carved door depicting the dragon of the Targaryens. 

外面,，游客們?cè)谝簧鹊裼刑垢窭布易妪埖拈T前擺著姿勢(shì)。

Tour guide Richard Hodgen snaps photos. 

導(dǎo)游理查德·霍根拍著照片,。

"It really does fill my heart with pride that I get to see everybody here every day," he says.

他說(shuō):“我每天都能看到這里的每一個(gè)人,，這讓我的內(nèi)心充滿了驕傲?！?/p>

Like many other Northern Irish, Hodgen was actually in Game of Thrones. 

和許多其他北愛爾蘭人一樣,，霍德根實(shí)際上也出演在了《權(quán)力的游戲》中。

He's tall, with a big bushy red beard, so he was the body double for the wilding Tormund Giantsbane, who chugged giants' milk.

他身材高大,，長(zhǎng)著濃密的紅胡子,，所以他是巨人克星的替身。
