世博美国馆精彩展示拥抱挑战_时事politics

    美国馆位于世博园c区,占地6000平方米,是园区内最大的国家展馆之一。该展馆清晰而简捷的外观宛如翱翔不羁、展翅欲飞的雄鹰,雄鹰也是美国的国徽,象征着一个充满无限机遇的国家。
    美国馆是一座符合本届世博会“城市,让生活更美好”主旨及其“拥抱挑战”主题的都市智能型建筑。参观者将在其间感受成功“拥抱挑战”的美国未来城市的缩影,包括城市清洁能源制造,绿地空间扩大,洁净水源提供,以及屋顶花园延展等。
    同时,美国馆为确保高能效而使用的各类最新顶尖技术,其本身也传递了世博会的可持续发展理念,例如采用独特设计的瀑布和倒影池可以降低入口处温度,同时用于减少噪音;馆内采用的城市绿化植物在带来冷却效果的同时,也有助于提供一个空气清新的生态环境;而仿效米歇尔-奥巴马在白宫所建的屋顶平台花园,美国馆也将建造一个城市蔬菜花园,其绿色屋顶技术将会有额外的热能冷却效应和减缓雨水的泄流排放。
    美国馆的主题“拥抱挑战”将通过参观者在四个不同剧院的四重体验来体现。在第一个剧院,参观者将看到一个多元文化、多元民族、环境多姿多彩的美丽而神奇的国度。镜头中,友好而乐观的美国民众纷纷伸出友谊之手,各自用普通话欢迎远道而来的宾朋。
    随后,参观者被引导进入第二个展示空间“美国精神”。在这一幕中,“美国精神”将通过一张张的美国人脸庞,以及他们的积极进取的行动得以具象化。他们富有感染力的乐观精神告诉人们,决心和专注可以帮助实现更多的梦想,以及“无论我们来自哪个国家、哪个民族,创造美好世界的信念能把人们紧紧联系在一起”的信念。
    而第三个剧院则让参观者充满惊喜。这一幕演绎的是一个动人的都市童话——一个富有想象力和决心的女孩感动了自己的邻居一起参与重建社区,最终把废弃的空地,建设成为美丽的花园。
    这一幕的剧场非常独特,5个高达10米的巨大屏幕侧向直立,组成了一个可容纳500名观众的圆柱形四维影院。屏幕形状奇特,仿佛高楼大厦。在屏幕上投射不同的图像和图形,就能显现出大厦、窗户、车站或能够想象的任何事物。影片播放时,风、雨、雷、电等第四维效果,让观众沉浸在惊奇的情感与视觉体验中。
    到了最后一个展区,参观者可在其中随意徜徉,了解美国人是如何通过实际的努力使 “城市,让生活更美好”的理想成为现实的。该展区的五个主题分别是:可持续发展、健康与营养、高科技、生活方式及发现美国。来宾们将有机会直观地领略到未来发展趋势。展馆的赞助商们也将向观众展示,它们的技术和理念能如何帮助人们实现“城市,让生活更美好”的目标。
    visitors will fully appreciate the perseverance in innovation, sustainability and community construction of the multi-cultural american society through state-of -the-art technology, as the usa pavilion officially opens to public this morning in the expo site.
    jose villarreal, commissioner general of the usa pavilion and huang jianzhi, deputy director general of the bureau of shanghai world expo, attended the opening ceremony.
    covering an area of around 6,000 square metres, the usa pavilion is a gray steel structure meant to resemble an eagle stretching its wings in welcome. the pavilion presents a dynamic and emotional story that conveys four core concepts: sustainability, teamwork, health and the spirit of striving for success.
    the overall theme of the pavilion is "rise to the challenge." in keeping with the expo's theme of "better city, better life," the challenges depicted will be creating environmentally sustainable communities, engaging in a healthy lifestyle and using technology to improve people's lives. the pavilion showcases american business and technology, as well as culture and values, to foster stronger friendship between the american and chinese peoples.
    the exhibition tells the story of the american spirit of perseverance, innovation and community-building in a multi-dimensional, high-tech presentation in four parts. it presents the united states as a place of opportunity and diversity where people come together to change their communities for the better.
    a pre-show will brief the multi-cultural, multi-ethnical nation of the united states of america, featuring some footage of friendly american residents waving hands and greeting in mandarin chinese.
    the second show begins with the "spirit of america," a call to collaboration, and a celebration of freedom, diversity, innovation, and opportunity. it conveys a message that faith in creating a better world can hold people firmly together no matter which part of the world they come from.
    the centerpiece of a third show is entitled "the garden" - the story of a 10-year-old girl who envisages turning a vacant city lot into an urban oasis, working with her neighbours to make that happen. the movie - a visual parable without dialogue - includes plenty of computer-generated imagery and 4-d effects, like vibrating seats, mist and lightning. the theatre for the show has five 10-meter-high screens and can seat 500 people.
    finally, a post show will explain how upcoming products and technologies can turn this fantasy into reality. the five themes displayed in this area are sustainability, health and nutrition, high technology, lifestyle and discovering america.
