As the largest country in both South America and Latin America,Brazil,officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the world’s fifth-largest country by area and the sixth-most populous.The coastline of Brazil measures over 7 400 kilometers,and lies adjacent(靠近)to the Atlantic Ocean.Most of the country’s weather is tropical(熱帶的)with a humid and warm weatheralmostallyearround.Brazilians are no doubt the group of people that are willing to live life to the fullest on the earth.
Every Day Is A Carnival
One of the most famous events is the carnival(狂歡節(jié))held in the city of Rio de Janeiro each year between the end of February to early March.Carnivals are always the most popular festivals in Brazil already,and the carnival in Rio—because of biggest number of Samba dancers, the most incredible(不可思議的)costumes(服裝),and the biggest crowd—is considered the world’s most influential one.All carnival participants(參與者),no matter what gender,age,background or personality,all sing and dance in the parade,leaving all sadness and sorrow behind.
For Brazilians,the priority(優(yōu)先考慮的事)of life is to be happy.And to live each moment to the most is the ultimate goal in their life.Perhaps every day is a carnival for Brazilians.
Never expect a Brazilian to show up on time for an appointment,because to them,the beautiful life cannot be restricted(受約束的)to the clock.It has to be the right time,when they feel the happiest to do so.
Brazilians drink at least 7 coffees each day,in order to taste coffee to the best degree.
When Brazilianstalk,there are alwaysrich facial expressions and plentiful body language coming with the speech,as if you are watching a children’s cartoon.And Brazilians never get frustrated or give up when the listeners are confused,they are morethan willing to explain themselves millions of times until they are understood.
Brazilians rarely save up.It’s not because they don’t work or have low income,but they use all the money they earn to enjoy life,otherwise,what’s the purpose of making money?
Bikini And Sunshine Means Beautiful Life
Brazilians are known for having“great figures”.And Brazilians are more than happy to show off their body.Whenever they have time,the first thing they do is to change into a skimpy bikini and go to the beach.The best formula(準(zhǔn)則;配方)for life for Brazilians is definitely sunshine,beach and bikinis.Whether it be water rafting(漂流),swimming,kayaking(皮艇運(yùn)動(dòng)),surfing,or simply laying on the beach for a whole afternoon,as long as they are under the sun,they are happy.
Different from many other westerners who prefer private space,Brazilians love crowded beaches.They feel safe in the crowd.And sharing the beach with other people in Bikinis is an essential(重要的)social activity.They chat on the beach,meet new friends,exchange stories and laugh,from the bottom of their hearts.
Go to Brazil,and feel the leisure,randomness(隨意)and infectivity(感染力;傳染性).
南美洲和拉丁美洲最大的國(guó)家巴西,全稱為巴西聯(lián)邦共和國(guó)。其國(guó)土面積位列全世界第五,人口則為全世界第六。東臨大西洋,海岸線長(zhǎng)達(dá)7 400多千米。地處熱帶,氣候常年高溫濕熱。巴西人無(wú)疑是地球上愿意將生活過(guò)得最充實(shí)的人群。
每天都是狂歡節(jié)
巴西最著名的就是每年2月底3月初在里約熱內(nèi)盧舉辦的狂歡節(jié)了。狂歡節(jié)本就是巴西最大的節(jié)日,而里約熱內(nèi)盧的狂歡節(jié)則因?yàn)閰⒓由0臀璐筚惖难輪T數(shù)量最多、服裝最華麗和場(chǎng)面最壯觀,當(dāng)之無(wú)愧成為世界之最。每一個(gè)參加狂歡節(jié)的人,無(wú)論性別、年齡、背景、性格,都會(huì)隨著游行隊(duì)伍又唱又跳,將一切悲傷、遺憾拋之腦后,盡情舞蹈、歡樂(lè)。
對(duì)巴西人來(lái)說(shuō),生命中最重要的事情莫過(guò)于快樂(lè)。因此,把生命中每一刻都過(guò)到極致豐盛,是巴西人統(tǒng)一的目標(biāo)。也許,巴西人的每一天都是一場(chǎng)狂歡。
跟巴西人相約見(jiàn)面,不要期待他們準(zhǔn)時(shí)出現(xiàn),因?yàn)槊篮玫纳畈荒苁軙r(shí)間的約束。要隨性而行,快樂(lè)的時(shí)候才是相見(jiàn)的最佳時(shí)刻。
在巴西人看來(lái),一天至少要喝上七杯美味的咖啡,才算真正品嘗了咖啡的美味。
巴西人聊天時(shí),一定是極其形象的面部表情和絕不重復(fù)的身體語(yǔ)言齊飛,如同上演表情夸張的卡通片。而且,熱情的巴西人絕對(duì)不會(huì)因?yàn)槁?tīng)者表示迷茫而覺(jué)得受挫折或者放棄,相反,他們一定盡職盡責(zé)、仔仔細(xì)細(xì)、翻來(lái)覆去地解釋,直到聽(tīng)者聽(tīng)懂為止。
巴西人很少有存款,不是他們不工作或者收入低,而是因?yàn)橘嵉降腻X(qián)一定要馬上痛快花掉,投入到享受生活中。不然,賺錢(qián)的目的是什么呢?
比基尼+陽(yáng)光=美好生活
巴西人向來(lái)以“美好身材”而著名。巴西人從來(lái)不吝惜向世人展示自己的美好。只要有時(shí)間,巴西人的第一選擇一定是換上布料極少的貼身比基尼奔赴海邊。陽(yáng)光、海灘、比基尼絕對(duì)是巴西人心目中最美好的“生活配方”。無(wú)論是漂流、游泳、皮劃艇、沖浪,還是涂滿防曬霜在海邊躺上一個(gè)下午,只要是身處陽(yáng)光之下,巴西人就有了熱情。
與很多西方人喜歡獨(dú)處不同的是,巴西人喜歡擁擠的海灘。在人群中,他們感覺(jué)更安全。而與其他身著比基尼的人分享海灘,也是巴西人社交的一種重要方式。他們?cè)谶@里聊天、結(jié)交新朋友、交換人生故事,一起大笑。
去巴西旅游吧,去感受巴西人的隨性和感染力。
