On Sunday Dilma Rousseff will probably be voted president of Brazil. Soon afterwards she should get on her plane and visit the poor South African town of Nelspruit. There she will see the football stadium built for the recent World Cup. It’s barely played in any more, and isn’t much use to the surrounding slum-dwellers. From Nelspruit Rousseff can fly to Cape Town and view the magnificent new stadium beside the Atlantic. That one’s now redundant too. The company supposed to operate it for 30 years just pulled out of the deal, largely because Cape Town doesn’t need another stadium.
迪尔玛•罗塞芙(Dilma Rousseff)当选为巴西总统之后，应该会坐上专机，出访南非贫穷小城内尔斯普雷特(Nelspruit)。在那儿，她会看到刚刚举办过世界杯的足球场馆。世界杯后，该场馆几乎没有再使用过，对周围贫民窟的居民也没啥大用处。从内尔斯普雷特，罗塞芙会接着飞往开普敦(Cape Town)，参观毗邻大西洋的那座宏伟壮观的新体育场，如今它也闲置着。而号称要经营30年的那家公司也刚刚撤销了合同，主要原因是开普敦并不需要另一座体育场馆。
