我很高兴有机会在《中国推介》之《向中国推介》节目中向大家介绍我的祖国——巴西。
 
  巴西是南美洲最大的国家。它是世界第五大国家、有2.1亿人口,几乎和中国一样大。对于中国人来说,它几乎是在世界的另一端。这就是为什么我们还没有接收到我们期待的那么多的中国人的原因。但是来过巴西的中国人的人数、在巴西投资的中国企业的数量每年都在增加。
 
  巴西是中国在西方第三大贸易伙伴,继美国和德国之后。它也是中国对外投资的主要目的地之一。这是一个有着各种各样的风景、习俗和人民的国家。从大自然开始,我们的骄傲之一。
 
  巴西拥有世界上最美丽的海岸线之一,有许多不同的方面。和中国很不一样的是一旦你到达巴西,在大部分的海岸线上,你就离山不远了。所以你可以看到石头、山峦、绿色和蓝色的对比,这是非常美丽的风景。如你所见,如果你看任何来自里约或我们其他主要城市的照片,在我们的海岸线上都有悬崖、美丽的蓝色海水,以及很多沙滩,这是巴西人的主要聚居地之一、去海边是他们的习惯,尤其是在周末的时候去海边玩、唱歌、享受好天气以及我们拥有的美食和美酒。
 
  当然,我们有亚马逊森林,占了巴西地表面积的大半,拥有世界上最大的热带雨林。这里有很多鸟类和动物,也有自己丰富的文化和美食传统。在巴西,我们有世界上最大的湿地——潘塔纳尔湿地,其面积大概和江苏省一样大,在这里,你看到的是一片树木稀疏的景观。因此,这里的地平线比你在亚马逊看到的要宽得多。
 
  我们是世界上物种最丰富的国家之一。我们有一种文化,这种文化是我们最初从葡萄牙接收到的各种移民流入的结果,同样也有美洲原住民、非洲人、中东人、和一些亚洲人。巴西也是日本裔人口最多的国家。在二十世纪初和近几年,我们也受到了韩国甚至中国的重大影响。因此,我们是一个非常美丽并且欢迎外国朋友到来的国家,我们真的很期待在不久的将来接待更多的中国朋友。
 
  
  I’m very happy at this opportunity to present my country Brazil at Introduce to China from China Recommendation. 
  Brazil is the largest country in South America. It's the fifth largest in the world, almost as large as China, with the population of 210 million. It's almost on the other side of the world for Chinese people to visit. That's why we haven't yet received as many Chinese as we would like,but the number of Chinese who have been to Brazil, the number of Chinese companies invest in Brazil has been increasing every year. 
Brazil is China’s third largest,trading partner in the West after the U-S and Germany. It's also one of the main destinations for Chinese foreign investment in the world. It's a country with a very wide diversity of   landscapes, of customs, of people.To start with the nature, which is one of our prides. 
  Brazil has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world with many different aspects.It looks very different from China because once you arrive in Brazil, throughout most of the coastline, you are not very far from the mountains. So you have this contrast of the stones, of the mountains, the green and the blue, which makes for very beautiful scenery. As you can see, if you look at any pictures from Rio or some of our other major cities,we have coastlines where you have cliffs, also with beautiful, blue water and lots of sand, and it's one of the main areas of concentration of Brazilians is this habit of going to the seaside, especially during the weekends to have fun and sing And enjoy the beautiful climate and the the drinks and the food that we have.
  We have, of course, the Amazon forests,Which is responsible for more than half the surface of Brazil with the largest tropical rainforest in the world,with lots of birds and animals and also its very own rich tradition of culture and and gastronomy.We have one of the largest wetlands in Brazil, the Pantanal, which is about the size of Jiangsu Province,and in which you see, you have a landscape with more sparse trees.And therefore, the horizon is much wider than what you see in the Amazon.
  We have one of the richest diversities of biological wealth in the world. We have a culture which is the result of all the different inflows of migrants that we have received originally from Portugal, but also Native Americans, Africans, middle Eastern, some Asians.Brazil is also the the country that has the largest population of Japanese origin that they came.At the beginning of the twentieth century and in more recent times, we also have received significant influence from Korea and even from China in more recent years.So we have a country that is extremely beautiful with a population that is very welcoming to foreigners,and we really look forward to receiving more Chinese friends in the near future.
