上海世博欲惊艳亮相

       Other countries are vying for attention with spectacle (Saudi Arabia's hanging garden, on the top deck of a suspended boat) and culture (Denmark will send the original 'Little Mermaid' statue from Copenhagen Harbor and France will ship works by Millet, Van Gogh and Rodin).

　　其它国家的展馆竞相以奇特的造型和自己的文化吸引观众的目光。例如，沙特阿拉伯在其悬空的船形展馆的顶部建造了一座空中花园，丹麦将把小美人鱼雕塑的原作从哥本哈根运到上海，而法国将带来米勒(Millet)、梵高(Van Gogh)和罗丹(Rodin)的作品。

　　Expo organizers promise 20,000 events around Shanghai, ranging from the Philadelphia Orchestra to the Cameroon National Song and Dance Troupe. Kids can see magic shows, puppet shows and shadow plays.
