In Brazil, when it's time for entertaining or being entertained, chances are you will visit one of these restaurants. 在巴西，無論你是想招待人還是想好好被招待，你都有可能造訪這裡的其中一家餐廳。
They're called barbecue or boraca [rodizio]. 它們被稱為烤肉，
Now, literally, they are all-you-can-eat. 現在它們的的確確是任你吃到飽，
And when I say "all-you-can-eat," I mean just that. 當我說任你吃到飽時，我指的真的就是那個意思。
And the most important tool you'll need is one of these -- "no, thank you" and "yes, please." 你所需要最重要的就是這兩句話：「不了，謝謝」以及「好的，麻煩你。」
Who knew that eating could be so exhausting? 有誰會想到吃東西會這麼累人呢？
Thankfully, there are plenty of other ways to relax in Brazil that not only give you some downtime, 幸好在巴西還有太多其它放鬆方式，不僅讓您可以稍事休息，
but will also help you work it all off. 還能幫您消耗掉一肚子熱量。
You either have it, or you don't. 節奏感與生俱來，沒有也強求不得。
And in Brazil, it's in their blood. 巴西人天生就有節奏感。
The beats, the rhythms -- I don't mind if I do try my hand. That's a bit of Bahian drumming. 那種節拍、韻律，我不介意親自試試。這鼓聲有點巴西亞的味道。
This is Afro-Brazilian music. It originates from Bahia. 這是非裔巴西式的鼓聲，起源於巴西亞省。
The African slaves brought it to Brazil's shores in the nineteenth century. 非洲奴隸在十九世紀時將這種音樂帶入巴西。
The drums are the heart of Brazilian culture, forming the rhythms of samba and capoeira. 鼓是巴西文化的重心，森巴和卡波耶拉舞蹈的韻律便是來自鼓聲。
If the hotel gym doesn't appeal to you, this is a worthwhile workout. 如果飯店的健身房不吸引你，這裡倒值得你來鍛鍊一下。
They say it's a dance. 他們說這是種舞蹈，
Frankly, it's more like acrobatics. And you need to be careful. You could have someone's eye out. 老實說，這比較像是特技表演。你得小心一點，你有可能打掉某個人的眼珠。
Music is integral to capoeira. Capoeiristas have to change their fighting style as the rhythm changes. 音樂是卡波耶拉舞蹈不可或缺的部份。卡波耶拉舞蹈的舞者必須依節奏的變化而改變格鬥的方式。
Some things that I can't do when it's not playing, 鼓聲未響起時，有些事我不能做，
but when the Roda -- the game -- starts, the circle starts, 但當輪圈出現，也就是練習開始的時候，大家便開始圍成一圈圈，
and the music and everything, everybody singing and clapping hands, you start doing stuff that you couldn't imagine that you could do. 音樂和一切也隨之開始，大家邊唱邊拍手，你開始做一些你無法想像你能做到的事。
They say anyone can learn this. 他們說任誰都可以學，
And a typical class will set you back around $75. 一堂標準課程要花上你七十五美元。
My drumming was pretty pathetic. Capoeira, not a chance. 我鼓打得很糟，更別提跳卡波耶拉舞了。
Thankfully there is something I have in common with Brazilians. 幸好我跟巴西人還有些共通點。
I do like a good party. And this month is Carnival and Brazil is already dancing up a storm. 我喜歡好玩的派對。這個月就是嘉年華會，巴西人已經準備好要跳舞跳翻天了。
To see the effort and physical exertion that goes into Carnival I visited a samba school, Portela, with 5,000 people. 為了了解人們為嘉年華會付出的努力和辛勞，我和五千人一起造訪了一所名為波特拉的森巴舞學校。
The Carnival itself lasts one week. 嘉年華為期一週，
The main event is the samba parade and the Sambadrome, where costumes are showcased and the floats are judged. 主要活動就是森巴遊行和森巴大道，人們在此大秀裝扮，花車則接受評選。
All this practice and it's over in less than an hour. 這一切的辛苦都在不到一小時內劃下句點。
Anyone can join in with the preparations. 大家都可以參與準備工作，
You can come along to watch. 你也可以一起過來瞧瞧，
You can say, "I've been there, done that -- oh and yes -- I've got the T-shirt." 然後說：「那裡我去過，盛會也參加過，喔，對了，我還買了這件Ｔ恤」。
