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.

展館特色：美國展館采用龐大的灰色金屬結構，造型像一只張開翅膀迎客的老鷹。展館呈現(xiàn)了一個充滿激情的故事，傳達了四個核心理念，即可持續(xù)發(fā)展，團隊協(xié)作，健康生活和為成功而奮斗的精神；展現(xiàn)了美國人的堅強毅力和創(chuàng)新精神，以及建立多元化、高科技社區(qū)的理念。
  

The overall theme of the pavilion is "Rise to the Challenge." In keeping with the Expo's theme of "Better City, Better Life," the challenges depicted will be creating environmentally sustainable communities, engaging in a healthy lifestyle and using technology to improve people's lives. The pavilion showcases American business and technology, as well as culture and values, to foster stronger friendship between the American and Chinese peoples.

展館的總體主題是“擁抱挑戰(zhàn)”。為了與此次世博會的主題“城市，讓生活更美好”相一致，這里的“挑戰(zhàn)”包括，創(chuàng)建環(huán)保、可持續(xù)發(fā)展的社區(qū)，致力于建立健康的生活方式，利用科技提高人民的生活水平。展館展示了美國的商業(yè)、科技成就及文化和價值觀，表達了美國與中國建立更強的友誼關系的良好愿望。

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.

亮點1：無聲的語言
美國館的一大特色是一部名為《花園》的影片。影片中講述的是一個小女孩想象著把一塊空地轉變成一個城市花園，并同她的鄰居們共同努力，實現(xiàn)了她的夢想。這部影片-故事中沒有任何對白-使用了大量的電腦制作形象和4D效果，比如能夠振動的椅子，霧，還有閃電。女孩的激情和決心啟發(fā)了她的鄰居們，在共同的樂觀、創(chuàng)新和合作精神的指引下，使曾經破敗和灰暗的城市呈現(xiàn)出夢幻般的美好景象。

Highlight 2: 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.

亮點2：現(xiàn)場表演和多媒體
除了戶外每日的“跳吧！美國”，美國館還將呈現(xiàn)各類的演出，包括爵士樂，流行歌曲，斯卡和古典音樂，大學步操樂隊，戲劇和舞蹈。
