Just like the film's main character Carl Fredericksen - whose motto in the movie is 'adventure is out there' - he is travelling the world using the multicoloured floater.

和影片主人公卡尔·弗雷德里克一样，阿斯卡座右铭也是“外面就是花花世界” 。他乘着色彩斑斓的热气球环游世界。

The Bristol-made balloon has been enchanting⁶ guests at the Canberra Balloon Spectacular in Australia. Hordes⁷ of eager visitors have taken to social media to excitedly report its presence.

这只气球是布里斯托尔制造，在澳大利亚堪培拉热气球表演节上源源不断吸引着游客。热情的游客们已经在社交媒体上兴高采烈地争相报导。

Owner Askey says this will potentially include a trip to Japan later this year. But fans can only hope the balloon makes its way to Angel Falls, Venezuela, which was the original inspiration behind Up's 'Paradise Falls'.

热气球主人阿斯卡说今年有可能会去日本一游。但粉丝一心只期待气球飞去委内瑞拉天使瀑布，那里是《飞屋环游记》“天堂瀑布”灵感的来源。
