A Guide to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil|2014 年巴西世界杯指南

　　The 2014 World Cup starts this June and will be held in Brazil, one of the most fascinating countries on Earth. With amazing forests, breathtaking architecture, and lots of wild animals, Brazil is a great place to visit for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Brazil is also known for pristine beaches crowded with gorgeous, tanned ladies wearing very small swimwear. These are just some of the reasons why many people are digging into their savings and flying over to watch some matches at the World Cup.

　　From Taiwan, the flight is expensive and it goes halfway around the world. Visitors can expect to pay upwards of NT$60,000 for a round-trip ticket. Also, hotel rates and transportation around Brazil will be the most expensive it has ever been because of the influx of tourists. Tickets for seats at matches that are anywhere close to the field are extremely expensive, too. Overall, this is not a cheap trip to make.

　　Finally, one of the biggest concerns for tourists in Brazil is safety. There are many poor people in Brazil who prey on unsuspecting visitors. Since they know that the people coming for the World Cup will be well off, the pickpockets, thieves, and other criminals are getting ready. However, police say that there will never be a safer time to visit than during the World Cup. This is because there are a lot of security measures in place and extra officers will be everywhere. Still, they warn visitors not to wear fancy watches or jewelry and wave around expensive smart phones or video cameras in public. Brazil is a great place to visit, but think twice about going during the World Cup.

 

2014 年巴西世界杯指南

　　2014 年世界杯将在今年六月展开，这项赛事将于巴西这个地球上最迷人的国家之一举行。巴西拥有令人惊艷的森林、让人叹为观止的建筑，以及许多野生动物，它是这场千载难逢盛事的绝佳去处。巴西同时也以其原始海滩而名闻遐迩，海滩上充斥着穿着清凉泳装并晒成古铜肤色的美女。以上所述只是许多人会动用其储蓄搭飞机来此观看世界杯比赛的部份原因而已。

　　这趟从台湾出发的飞行所费不赀，且航程会绕过大半个地球。游客可能得花费新台币六万元以上来购买来回机票。此外，饭店房价和巴西境内的交通费用也会因为游客的涌入而变得史无前例的昂贵。任何一处靠近比赛场地的座位门票也都贵得离谱。总之，计划这趟旅游肯定不便宜。

　　最后，对众多造访巴西的游客而言，他们最关心的其中一项问题便是安全。巴西有许多穷人虎视眈眈地觊觎着毫无防备的游客。因为他们知道来此观看世界杯的人都是手头宽裕的人，因此象是扒手、小偷，以及其他犯罪份子早已蓄势待发。然而，警方表示，若要造访巴西，绝对没有比世界杯这段期间更安全的时候了。这是因为有许多安全措施都会就定位，且额外的警力也将无所不在。尽管如此，他们仍警告游客切勿在公开场合穿戴贵重的手表或珠宝，还有到处挥舞昂贵的智能型手机或摄影机。巴西是个旅游的好地方，不过如果想要在世界杯期间造访当地，那可得三思而后行了。
