What do you know about the Northern European（北歐的）country of Finland？ You may have heard of the Northern Lights（極光）and Nokia. Today Finland is also a world leader in making mobile games. The popular games Angry Birds（《憤怒的小鳥(niǎo)》）and Clash of Clans（《部落沖突》）are both from Finnish companies.

你知道北歐國(guó)家芬蘭嗎？你可能聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)北極光和諾基亞。（棉花糖：它們可都是芬蘭的“特產(chǎn)”呢。）今天，芬蘭在手機(jī)游戲領(lǐng)域也處于世界領(lǐng)先地位。著名的游戲《憤怒的小鳥(niǎo)》和《部落沖突》都來(lái)自于芬蘭公司。

Finland is not a very big country. How can it make so many world-class games？

芬蘭不是一個(gè)非常大的國(guó)家。它怎么能創(chuàng)造這么多世界級(jí)的游戲呢？

Innovation（創(chuàng)新）might be the first reason. Finland gives money to help start-up companies. It even builds technology bases（技術(shù)基地）for them. There are now around 290 game companies in Finland.

創(chuàng)新可能是第一個(gè)原因。芬蘭出錢幫助初創(chuàng)公司，甚至為這些初創(chuàng)公司建立技術(shù)基地。如今芬蘭大約有290家游戲公司。

Finnish mobile games also stand out because of the countrys special（特殊的）Northern European art style（風(fēng)格）. The style is mainly about being simple（簡(jiǎn)單的）. Its a tradition of Finnish design. You may also see it in clothes， furniture（家具）and even buildings. In the game Angry Birds， the birds and pigs look very simple but cute at the same time.

芬蘭的手機(jī)游戲由于特殊的北歐風(fēng)格顯得格外突出。這種風(fēng)格主要是簡(jiǎn)單，這是芬蘭設(shè)計(jì)的傳統(tǒng)。你也可以在衣服、家具，甚至建筑上看到這種風(fēng)格。在游戲《憤怒的小鳥(niǎo)》中，鳥(niǎo)和豬看起來(lái)非常簡(jiǎn)單，但它們非?？蓯?ài)。
