這十項 巴西全球無敵手（組圖）

One of the world's most spirited lands, Brazil has made its mark on soccer fields and Carnival extravaganzas, but what it really leads the planet in are exuberance and passion for living.
作為世界上最具活力的地方之一，巴西以足球場和狂歡節而聞名。但它真正引領全球的，是其滿滿的活力和對生活的熱情。

As the world descends on Rio de Janeiro for the XXXI Olympiad, Brazilians are ready to help the world take a load off and experience something missing for a while: fun.
當世界的目光投向在里約熱內盧舉辦的第31屆奧運會，巴西人民已準備好讓世界放松一下，體驗早已缺失的那份快樂。

Here are 10 things Brazil does better than anywhere else:
以下十個項目，巴西全球無敵手。

Playfulness – Brazil's citizens know how to have fun, and it's infectious. From sports to celebrations, Brazilians play hard. 玩鬧——巴西人民深諳玩樂之道，這一天性還頗具感染力。從運動項目到狂歡慶典，巴西人總能嗨到飛起。

Play 玩鬧

Research shows that playfulness creates a kind of charisma that others want in on.
研究表明，玩鬧營造出一種魔力，會讓其他人想參與進來。

It's a key part of the Brazilian personality: a willingness to laugh at themselves, their predicaments and political absurdities and to welcome others in on the joke.
巴西人性格里的重要一面，就是樂于取笑自己，取笑自身窘境和政治上的荒謬，并且歡迎別人一起來取笑。

A few years back, Brazilians voted a clown into Congress. What was unusual was that he was a real clown by profession. Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, known by his stage name of "Grumpy" in Portuguese, won on a slogan, "It can't get any worse."
幾年前，巴西人投票選舉了一位小丑當國會議員。不同尋常的是，這位名為佛朗西斯科?席爾瓦的議員真的是位職業小丑演員，藝名在葡萄牙語意為“壞脾氣的人”。他贏得競選的口號是“最糟糕也就是這樣了”。

It did. Despite their problems, Brazilians can put them aside and live in the moment, something the rest of the world could learn from.
確實如此。就算面臨難題，巴西人還是能把它們放在一邊，活在當下。這是其他國家可以學習的一點。
