　　Munich’s Oktoberfest, dubbed as the world’s largest, rowdiest and most famous beer festival, got underway on Saturday in the capital of Bavaria. The event attracts beer drinkers and visitors from around the globe.

　　This year’s Oktoberfest began with the traditional "grand entrance" of the beer tent landlords and representatives from different breweries, arriving on decorated horse-drawn carriages. At noon, Munich mayor Christian Ude tapped open the first beer keg with a traditional shout of "o zapft is!", or it’s tapped.

　　Christian Ude, Munich Mayor, said, "I don’t need to hope that there will be a great atmosphere here, because it’s always great. I also don’t need to wish for good business because I know it will be! My most important wish is for a peaceful Oktoberfest, without any attacks or accidents."

　　This is the 180th annual celebration of all things beer in the Bavarian capital, with beer tents spread over a sprawling area close to downtown Munich.

　　Inside the tents, visitors enjoy their drinks listening to live brass bands playing traditional Bavarian, as well as more up-to-date music, allowing people of all ages to "dance and sing the hours away."

　　Some six million visitors are expected to drink their way through Oktoberfest by the time it ends on October 6. Last year, around 7.5 million litres of beer were consumed during the two-week party.

　　今年的德国慕尼黑啤酒节星期六正式展开，预计到10月6日结束，为期16天，预计吸引数以百万计游客参加。

　　慕尼黑市长乌德以传统方式用3公斤重的木槌，敲开一桶啤酒，宣布啤酒节正式开始。他又按照传统，倒了第一杯啤酒给巴伐利亚州长泽霍曼。

　　乌德呼吁群众尽情喝酒，尽情享受，但不要过量，尤其不要斗酒。他说，不需要让全世界都知道你是白痴。

　　现场不少穿着巴伐利亚传统服饰的美女参与，高举大杯啤酒与众同乐。
