歐洲首都——布魯塞爾

世博會在二戰(zhàn)后停辦了很長一段時間。比利時首都布魯塞爾是二戰(zhàn)后第一個舉辦世博會的城市。

Brussels is the capital of Belgium. But why do people also call it the capital of Europe? Because in addition to the headquarters of the EU, there are hundreds in Brussels. Brussels has held two World Expos, one was in 1935, and the other was in 1958.

There is a statue of a boy. The boy is brave and bright. One day, someone wanted to blow up the city. The little boy found the burning fuse. Then, he pissed on it to put out the fire. The clever boy saved the city.

The Atomium is another landmark of Brussels. It was built for the World Expo 1958. Why are there 9 big balls on the Atomium? Because there were only 9 members in the EU back then.

布魯塞爾是比利時的首都。可是為什么人們也稱它為歐洲的首都呢?因為除了歐盟總部外,還有數(shù)百個國際機構(gòu)設(shè)在布魯塞爾。布魯塞爾曾經(jīng)舉辦過兩次世博會,一次在1935年,另一次在1958年。

這里有一座男孩塑像。這個男孩既勇敢又聰明。有一天,有人試圖炸掉這座城市。小男孩發(fā)現(xiàn)了點著的引線。于是,他在引線上尿尿,熄滅了它。聰明的男孩救了這座城市。

原子塔是布魯塞爾的另一個地標。原子塔是為1958年的世博會而建的。為什么原子塔上有9個大球呢?因為那時歐盟只有9個成員國。
