Brazil's national football stadium, the Estado Nacíonal, lies near the
heart of the capital city of Brasília. The roof appears as a brilliant white
ring in this photograph taken from the International Space Station. The stadium
is one of Brasília's largest buildings. Renovation began in 2010, and it is now
the second most expensive stadium in the world after Wembley Stadium in
London.
位于巴西首都巴西利亚市中心的巴西利亚国家体育场(Estado
Nacíonal)是巴西国家足球场。从国际空间站拍摄的照片中,我们看到体育场的屋顶犹如一枚银光闪闪的戒指。该体育场是巴西利亚最大的建筑之一,自2010起开始翻新,是目前世界上第二昂贵的体育场。造价最昂贵的要数位于伦敦的温布利体育场(Wembley
Stadium)。
To accommodate World Cup fans visiting from all over the world, renovations
were made to nearly all modes of transportation—particularly airports—in
Brasília and other host cities. Brasília's international airport is visible at
lower right, on the far side of Lake Paranoá. (Note that the image is rotated so
that north is to the left.)
为了接待来自世界各地的球迷朋友,在巴西利亚以及其他主办城市的体育场翻新工作中,增设了各类交通工具,尤其是飞机。右下方是巴西利亚国际机场,就在帕拉诺阿湖畔(Paranoá
Lake )。

Brasília is widely known for its modern building designs and city layout.
Astronauts have the best view of the city's well-known "swept wing" city layout,
which takes the form of a flying bird that is expressed in the curves of the
boulevards (image left). The stadium occupies the city center, between the
wings.
巴西利亚以现代建筑设计与城市规划著称。宇航员能够将巴西利亚“机翼”状的城市轮廓尽收眼底。林荫道的拐弯处形如一只飞鸟。体育场位于市中心,就像在“两翼”之间。
