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.
迪爾瑪?羅塞芙(Dilma Rousseff)當選為巴西總統之后，應該會坐上專機，出訪南非貧窮小城內爾斯普雷特(Nelspruit)。在那兒，她會看到剛剛舉辦過世界杯的足球場館。世界杯后，該場館幾乎沒有再使用過，對周圍貧民窟的居民也沒啥大用處。從內爾斯普雷特，羅塞芙會接著飛往開普敦(Cape Town)，參觀毗鄰大西洋的那座宏偉壯觀的新體育場，如今它也閑置著。而號稱要經營30年的那家公司也剛剛撤銷了合同，主要原因是開普敦并不需要另一座體育場館。
