巴西：生命就是一场狂欢

文/Diego

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（热带的）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（狂欢节）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（不可思议的）costumes（服装）,and the biggest crowd—is considered the world’s most influential one.All carnival participants（参与者）,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（优先考虑的事）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（受约束的）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（准则；配方）for life for Brazilians is definitely sunshine,beach and bikinis.Whether it be water rafting（漂流）,swimming,kayaking（皮艇运动）,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（随意）and infectivity（感染力；传染性）.

南美洲和拉丁美洲最大的国家巴西，全称为巴西联邦共和国。其国土面积位列全世界第五，人口则为全世界第六。东临大西洋，海岸线长达7 400多千米。地处热带，气候常年高温湿热。巴西人无疑是地球上愿意将生活过得最充实的人群。

每天都是狂欢节

巴西最著名的就是每年2月底3月初在里约热内卢举办的狂欢节了。狂欢节本就是巴西最大的节日，而里约热内卢的狂欢节则因为参加桑巴舞大赛的演员数量最多、服装最华丽和场面最壮观，当之无愧成为世界之最。每一个参加狂欢节的人，无论性别、年龄、背景、性格，都会随着游行队伍又唱又跳，将一切悲伤、遗憾抛之脑后，尽情舞蹈、欢乐。

对巴西人来说，生命中最重要的事情莫过于快乐。因此，把生命中每一刻都过到极致丰盛，是巴西人统一的目标。也许，巴西人的每一天都是一场狂欢。

跟巴西人相约见面，不要期待他们准时出现，因为美好的生活不能受时间的约束。要随性而行，快乐的时候才是相见的最佳时刻。

在巴西人看来，一天至少要喝上七杯美味的咖啡，才算真正品尝了咖啡的美味。

巴西人聊天时，一定是极其形象的面部表情和绝不重复的身体语言齐飞，如同上演表情夸张的卡通片。而且，热情的巴西人绝对不会因为听者表示迷茫而觉得受挫折或者放弃，相反，他们一定尽职尽责、仔仔细细、翻来覆去地解释，直到听者听懂为止。

巴西人很少有存款，不是他们不工作或者收入低，而是因为赚到的钱一定要马上痛快花掉，投入到享受生活中。不然，赚钱的目的是什么呢？

比基尼+阳光=美好生活

巴西人向来以“美好身材”而著名。巴西人从来不吝惜向世人展示自己的美好。只要有时间，巴西人的第一选择一定是换上布料极少的贴身比基尼奔赴海边。阳光、海滩、比基尼绝对是巴西人心目中最美好的“生活配方”。无论是漂流、游泳、皮划艇、冲浪，还是涂满防晒霜在海边躺上一个下午，只要是身处阳光之下，巴西人就有了热情。

与很多西方人喜欢独处不同的是，巴西人喜欢拥挤的海滩。在人群中，他们感觉更安全。而与其他身着比基尼的人分享海滩，也是巴西人社交的一种重要方式。他们在这里聊天、结交新朋友、交换人生故事，一起大笑。

去巴西旅游吧，去感受巴西人的随性和感染力。
