In a mid-May meeting with sports journalists, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff used a local metaphor to say that once the World Cup began, Brazilians would forget their worries. “Once the jaguar drinks the water,” she said, “this country will go crazy.”
在5月中旬与体育记者的会面当中,巴西总统迪尔玛o罗塞夫(Dilma Rousseff)引用了一个当地的比喻,她说:“一旦美洲豹开始喝水,这个国家就会为之疯狂。”意思是说世界杯一开始,巴西人就会将烦恼抛之脑后。
That Dilma (as she is known) hopes that the local populace will get swept up in the spectacle is understandable, considering the protests she’s endured over her government’s spending on the event.
迪尔玛(人们经常以她的名来称呼她)寄希望于用这场盛大的赛事来俘获巴西人民的心,这一点是可以理解的,因为反对本届政府在世界杯方面花费过高的抗议活动让她头疼不已。
At the opening ceremony for the Confederations Cup soccer tournament in Brasilia last June, Dilma and Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA, which runs the World Cup, were booed by protesters demanding better education, healthcare, and transportation.
在去年6月举行的联合会杯足球锦标赛开幕仪式上,迪尔玛和国际足联(世界杯运营方)主席瑟普o布拉特(Sepp Blatter)遭到了反对人士的狂嘘,因为这些人要求政府把钱花在改善教育、医疗和交通服务方面。
