美国《基督教科学箴言报》2012年10月22日报道（特派记者或本报记者或特约撰稿人萨拉·米勒·拉纳）

Tatiana Coelho(塔蒂亚娜·科埃略) quit her job in Porto, Portugal(葡萄牙波尔图市) last year working as a producer at a concert venue. She sold all of her belongings and relocated to Rio de Janeiro(里约热内卢) to try a new life as an artist, experimenting in various media –especially photography. But it was not the beaches of Ipanema(伊帕内玛) or Copacabana(科帕卡巴纳) that she could afford. Instead she moved to the foot of a favela(山腰贫民窟).

塔蒂亚娜·科埃略在葡萄牙波尔图市某音乐厅当监制（舞台监督或制作人）。去年，她辞职了。她变卖所有家当，迁居到巴西的里

约热内卢，开始了艺术家的新生活。她的艺术尝试涉及多种媒介，特别是影像（或摄影或照片）。不过，她可负担不起伊帕内玛海滩或科帕卡巴纳海滩的住宿费用，转而（或只得或于是或因此）搬到了山腰贫民窟的偏山脚处。

On a recent Friday, Ms. Coelho walks up the steep incline that winds through the cheerfully gentrifying collection of simple one- and two-bedroom homes. Only a few years ago this was a dangerous shantytown.

最近的某个星期五，科埃略女士沿着那条陡峭的斜坡往上走，斜坡蜿蜒穿过靓丽高尚的成片翻新住宅，这些住宅都是简易的一居（单间）和两居。仅在几年前，这里是一片危险的棚户区。

“There is more humanity here,” she says of the community, called Vidigal(维迪加尔). “This is where, if you need money for the bus, someone will give it to you.”

“这里人情味更浓”，她这样评价这个名叫维迪加尔的社区，“在这儿，如果你缺钱搭公交，就会有人给你。”

Coelho is not alone. She estimates that some 50 other foreigners, all European, call the favela home: French, British, Hungarian, German, and Portuguese.

科埃略并不孤单（用“孤独”错）。她估计，还有大约50个外国人，都是欧洲人，在这个贫民窟安家：法国人，英国人，匈牙利人，德国人，以及葡萄牙人。

As Brazil’s economy remains in growth mode, and when Europe is mired in crisis, the numbers of foreigners living in Brazil jumped by more than 50 percent between 2010 and April of 2012. Many of them choose to live in the more typical expat enclaves of Ipanema or pricey Leblon(莱布隆). But as prices rise across the city, favelas have become new, even hip, alternatives.

当巴西经济保持增长态势、欧洲又深陷经济危机泥沼时，侨居巴西的外国人数量在2010至2012年4月间激增了超过50％。他们中的许多人选择居住在依帕内玛或高档的莱布隆这样更典型的外侨聚居地（或更典型的外侨聚居地——依帕内玛或高档的莱布隆）。但是，随着里约全城的物价上涨，山腰贫民窟变成了新颖的，甚至是时尚的选项。

Ms. Honrado(洪拉多女士), who arrived in February from Lisbon, says there was no work at home: Of the three firms she worked for previously, two shut down and one massively downsized. But just five days after arriving in Rio, she got a job working in interior design. Today she does freelance architecture projects as she awaits a work

contract. Honrado first lived in Leblon and then Copacabana but chose Vidigal for the low rents, and the good spirits.

洪拉多女士二月份从里斯本来到里约。她说，在国内找不到工作：她以前工作过的三家公司，两家倒闭，一家大规模裁员。但来里约刚满5天，她就找到了一份室内设计的工作。眼下（或目前），她一边打着建筑项目（或工程或设计）的零工，一边期待着一份工作合同（或劳动合同）。洪拉多起初住在莱布隆，后来搬到科帕卡巴纳，但最终选定维迪加尔，是看中这儿房租低、氛围好（或风气好）。

"In Portugal, everyone is in a bad mood. There is so much pessimism,” she says. “Here, even in this favela where the people are so poor and have nothing, everyone is so optimistic, so happy. This is where my heart is.”

“在葡萄牙，每个人心境不佳，悲观情绪很浓。”她说。“在里约，即便是在这个人们一贫如洗的贫民窟，每个人都如此乐观、开心。这里才是我心之所属。”

As Brazil prepares to host the Olympic Games four years later, the favelas are being upgraded. Special battalions, called Pacifying Police Units, have been dispatched to two-dozen favelas to root out drug trafficking, bringing down crime rates. At the same time, under city, state, and federal initiatives, new cable cars and libraries dot the

hillsides that rise as a dramatic backdrop over the beaches.

随着巴西筹办4年后的奥运会，贫民窟一直在翻新改造。名叫“镇暴警队”的特战营（或特种部队）被派遣到二十多座贫民窟，以根除毒品交易，降低犯罪率。与此同时，有赖于市、州、联邦三级的新举措，新缆车和新图书馆点缀在山腰。山腰矗立在海滩的侧上方，构成了一幕引人入胜的背景画。

That is making favelas more livable for residents –but also for outsiders.

这一切正使贫民窟变得更宜居，对本地居民和外来者都是如此。

麦当劳开卖豆浆（标题5分）

McDonald’s begins to sell soya milk

继肯德基之后，麦当劳也开始推出豆浆这款中国味十足的饮品。就饮食习惯来说，用豆浆作早餐饮品，比用咖啡更符合中国人的口味。营销专家表示，麦当劳此举实质上是加速本土化进程的一个新尝试。

Following KFC, McDonald’s began to present soya milk, which is typical (or characteristic) of Chinese flavor. As for dietary habits, soya milk as breakfast drink (or beverage), suits the Chinese’s taste better than coffee. According to a marketing expert, this move is actually a new attempt to speed up its localization.
