Pavilion Features

The USA Pavilion is a mammoth gray steel structure meant to resemble an eagle stretching its wings in welcome. The pavilion presents a dynamic and emotional story that conveys four core concepts: sustainability, teamwork, health and the spirit of striving for success. The exhibition tells the story of the American spirit of perseverance, innovation, and community-building in a multi-dimensional, hi-tech presentation. It presents the US as a place of opportunity and diversity where people come together to change their communities for the better.

展館外觀

美國館總的主題為“擁抱挑戰(zhàn)”。為了緊跟本屆世博會(huì)的主題“城市，讓生活更美好”，這里所描述的挑戰(zhàn)具體為：創(chuàng)造環(huán)境可持續(xù)發(fā)展的社區(qū)，保持健康的生活方式以及用科技改善人們的生活。館內(nèi)展示了美國的商業(yè)、科技、文化和價(jià)值觀，希望由此加深美中兩國人民的友誼。

Pavilion Highlights

Highlight 1: Visual Parable without Dialogue

The USA Pavilion features a show entitled "The Garden" - the story of a 10-year-old girl who envisages turning a vacant city lot into an urban oasis, working with her neighbors to make that happen. The movie - a visual parable without dialogue - includes plenty of computer-generated imagery and 4-D effects, like vibrating seats, mist and lightning. The girl's passion and resolution has inspired her neighbors to work together to turn a dilapidated city into a fascinating place with the spirits of optimism, innovation and cooperation.

展館亮點(diǎn)

亮點(diǎn)一：沒有對白的視覺寓言

美國館展示了一部名為《花園》的短片，講的是一個(gè)10歲的小女孩想要把一片廢棄的空地變成一片城市綠洲，在她和鄰居們的共同努力下將這個(gè)愿望變成現(xiàn)實(shí)的故事。這部影片是一則沒有對白的視覺寓言，制作過程中使用了大量的計(jì)算機(jī)圖像和四維技術(shù)處理效果，比如震動(dòng)的座椅，迷霧還有閃電等。小女孩的熱情和決心激勵(lì)了鄰居們，他們在樂觀、創(chuàng)新與合作的精神指引下一起將破敗和灰暗的城市改造成了一個(gè)美好的地方。

Highlight 2: Three Acts

The program begins with the "Spirit of America," a call to collaboration, and a celebration of freedom, diversity, innovation, and opportunity. "The Garden" is the centerpiece of the second part, while the last section is "Opportunities and Innovation," a themed area that highlights the use of technology and innovation to achieve more sustainable communities.

亮點(diǎn)二：三幕展示

這個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)的第一部分叫做“美國精神”，呼吁協(xié)作精神，歡慶自由、多樣化、創(chuàng)新以及機(jī)遇共同繁榮。第二部分的主要內(nèi)容是《花園》，最后一部分為“機(jī)遇和創(chuàng)新”，主要體現(xiàn)通過科技和創(chuàng)新技術(shù)的應(yīng)用建設(shè)更多可持續(xù)發(fā)展社區(qū)這個(gè)主題。

Highlight 3: Live Shows and Multimedia

In addition to a daily "Dance-America!" outdoor show, the USA Pavilion will stage a wide range of performances including jazz, pop, ska and classical music, university marching bands, theater and dance, and "Salutes" the American city and state partners.
