In this day and age, if you want a holiday romance the airport's selection of steamy fiction isn't your only option.
如今這年頭，你若是想來場假日戀愛，看機場書店的色情小說可不會是你唯一的選擇。

Dating app Tinder, which preaches a swipe right approach to finding love at the touch of a screen, has been calculating the best cities to cosy up with a local.
手機約會軟件Tinder宣稱，使用此款軟件時只需將手指在屏幕上向右一劃即可找到戀愛對象。這款應用也正在統計當地人最易交往的幾大城市。

In a list of 15, the start-up found that London is the top spot for a vacation fling beating the city of love Paris, which came in at second, and New York which scored third place.
排行榜單上有15個城市，其中倫敦位居榜首，是假日戀愛的最佳勝地，完勝列位第二的“戀愛都市”巴黎，紐約則排行第三。

Using a feature called Passport, which subscribers pay for, the phone application allows tourists to meet and match with users in other cities.
通過付費激活使用“護照”功能后，這款應用將自動匹配旅客和其他城市的用戶。

This function makes setting up dates with residents before you reach your next vacation a lot easier.
這一功能使得你在下個假日到來前即可安排好與當地居民的約會，極其便利。

This mode, which launched last year, allows eager travellers to 'pin drop' their location at anywhere in the world.
這一模式于去年推出，它使得旅游狂熱者能夠在世界各地“簽到”。

Once you've dropped your pin your feed will be automatically filled with locals from that area.
你一點下簽到鍵，屏幕上就會自動冒出許多當地人的簽到印跡。

By measuring the top destinations for the Passport feature to be used around the world, Tinder calculated the list.
Tinder應用通過世界各地都在使用的護照（Passport）功能統計出幾大最佳目的地，由此列出這一排行榜單。

The other popular cities for Passport users on Tinder include Berlin, Moscow, Stockholm, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Melbourne L.A., Auckland and Dublin.
在Tinder上廣受“護照”用戶喜愛的城市還有：柏林、莫斯科、斯德哥爾摩、里約熱內盧、悉尼、巴塞羅那、布宜諾斯艾利斯、墨爾本、洛杉磯、奧克蘭和都柏林。

Though they say all roads lead to Rome, the Italian city came in 15th, which was last place.
盡管人們說條條大路通羅馬，但是意大利的城市卻在排行榜上墊了底。

While the passport service could be used to initiate dates in advance, it is also being used as a travel guide with Tinder swipers taking advantage of the chance to pick up tips from the residents and to find out about local neighbourhoods.
“護照”功能不僅僅可用于提前安排約會碰面，也可充當旅游指南，Tinder用戶可利用與當地居民交流的機會獲取旅游攻略，從而發現當地獨特風情之地。

Certain destinations have seen spikes in activity. For instance, as the Olympics near, Rio de Janeiro has seen an increase in traffic by 10 percent.
榜單上的某些地區已迎來旅游高峰。如里約熱內盧，隨著奧運會臨近，里約的交通量已上漲了10%。

Areas with smaller permanent populations also see their users rise during holiday season, like Toronto, which has increased 44 percent and Bali, which has grown by 60 percent.
在假期間，一些常住人口較少地區的用戶也見漲。比如多倫多用戶已上漲了44%，巴厘島也上漲了60%。

The Passport service is an additional paid-for add-on and is used by more than 1million Tinder Plus subscribers.
“護照”功能是Tinder所附加的付費使用功能，目前已有超過100萬的Tinder Plus升級版用戶使用。
