以下十样东西，巴西全球无敌手。

Playfulness – Brazil's citizens know how to have fun, and it's infectious. From sports to celebrations, Brazilians play hard. 玩闹——巴西人民深谙玩乐之道，这一天性还颇具感染力。从运动项目到狂欢庆典，巴西人总能嗨到飞起。

Play 玩闹

Research shows that playfulness creates a kind of charisma that others want in on.
研究表明，玩闹营造出一种魔力，会让其他人想参与进来。

It's a key part of the Brazilian personality: a willingness to laugh at themselves, their predicaments and political absurdities and to welcome others in on the joke.
巴西人性格里的重要一面，就是乐于取笑自己，取笑自身窘境和政治上的荒谬，并且欢迎别人一起来取笑。

A few years back, Brazilians voted a clown into Congress. What was unusual was that he was a real clown by profession. Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, known by his stage name of "Grumpy" in Portuguese, won on a slogan, "It can't get any worse."
几年前，巴西人投票选举了一位小丑当国会议员。不同寻常的是，这位名为佛朗西斯科•席尔瓦的议员真的是位职业小丑演员，艺名在葡萄牙语意为“坏脾气的人”。他赢得竞选的口号是“最糟糕也就是这样了”。

It did. Despite their problems, Brazilians can put them aside and live in the moment, something the rest of the world could learn from.
确实如此。就算面临难题，巴西人还是能把它们放在一边，活在当下。这是其他国家可以学习的一点。
