On my last full day in Rio de Janeiro, I wanted to see how the rest of the city lives, so I decided to visit a section of the favelas, areas known for poverty, gang violence, and the setting of Fast and Furious 5. Wouldn’t it be funny if I got shot right before I left? No it wouldn’t be, but just don’t tell my mom I’m going. After a heart-stopping drive up the steep hills, we finally arrive at one of the best restaurants in Rio, nestled in the colorful favela buildings.

在这里的最后一天，我想去看看其余的里约热内卢人是如何生活，所以我决定去游览一块贫民区。这片地区以贫穷、帮派暴力和《速度与激情5》取景地而闻名。我万一在启程前中枪是不是就不好玩了?确实一点都不好玩，所以千万别告诉我老妈我会去。怀着惴惴不安，我们沿着陡峭的山坡一路开车前进，终于抵达了依偎在五光十色的贫民区建筑群之间里约最好的餐馆之一。

The rooftop bar of the restaurant might have the best view of Rio, maybe even better than the tourism sites. In front of the mountains are short stubby houses painted in street art and put together like intricate puzzle pieces to form the favela community. Off beyond the mountains are high-rise buildings seemingly planted on the edge of the coast, where some of the Rio Olympic events are held.

餐厅的屋顶酒吧也许拥有观看里约城风景的最佳视角，甚至可能比旅游景点的还要好。山的前面是涂满街头艺术画矮矮粗粗的房屋，像一片片复杂拼图碎片纵横交错在一起，构成巴西贫民区的全貌。山的远处是一座座如同种植在海岸边上的高层建筑，一些里约奥运会的比赛和活动在那里举行。
