Pavilion Features
The USA Pavilion is a mammoth 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 exhibition tells the story of the American spirit of perseverance, innovation, and community-building in a multi-dimensional, hi-tech presentation.

展馆特色：美国展馆采用庞大的灰色金属结构，造型像一只张开翅膀迎客的老鹰。展馆呈现了一个充满激情的故事，传达了四个核心理念，即可持续发展，团队协作，健康生活和为成功而奋斗的精神；展现了美国人的坚强毅力和创新精神，以及建立多元化、高科技社区的理念。
  

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.

展馆的总体主题是“拥抱挑战”。为了与此次世博会的主题“城市，让生活更美好”相一致，这里的“挑战”包括，创建环保、可持续发展的社区，致力于建立健康的生活方式，利用科技提高人民的生活水平。展馆展示了美国的商业、科技成就及文化和价值观，表达了美国与中国建立更强的友谊关系的良好愿望。

Highlight 1: Visual Parable without Dialogue
The USA Pavilion features a show 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 neighbors 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 girl's passion and resolution has inspired her neighbors to work together to turn a dilapidated city into a fascinating place with the spirits of optimism, innovation and cooperation.

亮点1：无声的语言
美国馆的一大特色是一部名为《花园》的影片。影片中讲述的是一个小女孩想象着把一块空地转变成一个城市花园，并同她的邻居们共同努力，实现了她的梦想。这部影片-故事中没有任何对白-使用了大量的电脑制作形象和4D效果，比如能够振动的椅子，雾，还有闪电。女孩的激情和决心启发了她的邻居们，在共同的乐观、创新和合作精神的指引下，使曾经破败和灰暗的城市呈现出梦幻般的美好景象。

Highlight 2: Live Shows and Multimedia
In addition to a daily "Dance-America!" outdoor show, the USA Pavilion will stage a wide range of performances including jazz, pop, ska and classical music, university marching bands, theater and dance.

亮点2：现场表演和多媒体
除了户外每日的“跳吧！美国”，美国馆还将呈现各类的演出，包括爵士乐，流行歌曲，斯卡和古典音乐，大学步操乐队，戏剧和舞蹈。
