相信許多觀眾朋友都怀 ��環游世界的夢想，而在今天節目中所要介紹的网路舞者馬特-哈汀(Matt Harding)，則是把自己在� �球各地跳舞的舞姿，PO上 YouTube网站，而且十分� 到歡迎。現在就讓我們來認識這位以獨特方式環游世界的哈汀。目前在网路上正夯的馬特哈汀，盡管他的舞技不比歌舞之王弗雷德阿斯泰爾(Fred Astaire)，但是他那滑稽� �舞步卻能讓人感受到濃厚的喜感。哈汀說：「我在世界各地跳舞」。目前在全球六十多個國家，無論是充滿濃濃异國風情的，甚至是頗具危險性的地方，哈汀都留下了自己跳舞的身影，足跡遍及七大洲。而在短短三周的時間內，就有將近六百万人次上YouTube 网站瀏覽哈汀跳舞的影 ��。此外，影片中作為背景音樂的新世紀音樂，還在亞馬遜网站(amazon.com's)登上最受歡迎下載排行榜第八名的位置。不過，哈汀怎么會突發奇想以跳舞來環游世界呢？這一切是從五年前開始的，當時哈汀辭掉了電玩軟件設計師的工作，并且在亞洲各個城市旅行。而哈汀的朋友就建議他在每個城鎮都跳相同的舞步，并且拍攝下來。哈汀說：「有別于一般的買填充玩具、穿上當地的T恤，或者是拍些紀念照片，我把在當地跳舞的情形拍攝成影片，變成了我收集旅行回憶的方式。這是一种很有感覺而且能看的見的方式。我就這樣持續的進行下去，并且把拍好的片段整理在一塊，然后上傳到网路上」。很幸運的，史翠德(Stride)口香糖公司的主管看到了哈汀在世界各地跳舞的影片，并且進一步与哈汀合作，提供他旅行的費用，也因此哈汀得以繼續跳舞旅行46個國家。至于哈汀對于未來有何計畫呢？應該就是順其自然吧！哈汀說：「我知道自己能力所在。我會离開自己所熟悉的領域 無論會發生什么事情， ��都能夠克服。」------------------------------Matt Harding is no Fred Astaire, but his flailing limbs have made him thedarling of the Internet and brought joy to millions of fans worldwide.
