裏約奧運會還能開得起來嗎

　　With just a few weeks left until the start of the 2016Olympics, Brazil is still suffering from seriouseconomic problems. The acting governor of Rio deJaneiro warned that the games could be a "failure" ifhis state doesn't get its finances in order.

　　間隔2016年奧運會揭幕只有幾周時光了，但巴西仍深陷於緊張的經濟題目當中。裏約熱內盧州署理州長告誡說，假如財務題目不辦理，競賽或面對“失敗”。

　　Brazil hasn't followed through on a promise toprovide Rio with extra funding for security andtransportation, according to Dornelles. Police officers in the city aren't being fully paid and maynot even have enough money for gas.

　　依據多內萊斯的說法，巴西還沒有兌現許諾為裏約供給分外資金以辦理平安和交通題目。裏約市的警員尚未拿到全體薪金，並且乃至大概連買自然氣的錢也付不起。

　　The missing funds are just the tip of Brazil's iceberg of turmoil.

　　未到位的資金只是巴西淩亂的冰山一角。

　　Crime

　　犯法

　　A functioning police force and transportation system are necessary, given the rising crime inRio. Murder and robbery are up 15 percent and 30 percent, respectively, since last year, NPRreports. The city is trying to get new buses off the ground to help tourists avoid the favelas —areas vulnerable to violence, theft and gang activity.

　　After months of protest from angry Brazilians, the Senate last month voted to impeachPresident Dilma Rousseff over allegations that she lied about the country's economic issues.Rousseff and several members of her cabinet are also accused of making billions off of thestate-run oil company Petrobras.

　　Wealth Gap

　　貧富差距

　　經濟上的不屈等題目歷久以來一向困擾著巴西。比來的數據表現上個月賦閑率已高達11%，人為程度也異常低。與此同時，聽說與巴西煤油公司Petrobras醜聞相幹的人還經由過程行賄、背工、洗錢等手腕貪汙了50億美元。

　　The Worst Recession In Decades

　　幾十年來最緊張的經濟闌珊

　　Brazil is facing one of the worst recessions the country has ever faced. The economy shrank 5.4percent in the first three months of the year, the government said. Additionally, as FT pointsout, export prices have shrunk, household debt has increased, and inflation has risen evenmore than expected.
