1 | The Greatest Street Party on Earth: The Brazilian Carnival | Fety an-dalambe goavana indrindra eto an-tany: Karnavala Breziliana |
2 | A week ago today, Brazilians were waking up to enjoy the country's most celebrated annual festival: the Carnival, or rather, the biggest extravaganza on Earth that draws millions of people onto the streets of the many cities all over the country. | Herinandro lasa izay, nifoha mba hankafy ny fety goavana sy manandazan'ny firenena fanao isan-taona ny vahoaka Brezilianina: ny karnavalona izany, na koa hoe, ilay fandaniana goavana eto an-tany izay misintona olona antampitrisany hivoaka an-dalambe an'ny renivotra tsirairay eran'ny firenena. |
3 | It is one of many European imports that having mixed Native, African and European elements, have found their own flavor, colours and fame in Brazil. | Anisan'ny kolotsaina Eropeana ifangaroan'ny vako-drazana izy ity, samy nahita ny embony, ny lokony sy ny lazan'I Brezil ny Afrikana sy ny Eropeana. |
4 | Nevermind the worldwide economic crisis, or Brazil's own everyday crises - it is carnival as usual. | Adinoy ny krizy ara-toekarena eran'izao tontolo izao, na ny krizy isan'andron'I Brazil - karnavalona toy ny mahazatra izany. |
5 | The numbers for domestic and international tourism were above expectations and higher than last year's, following the trend for yearly growth. | Ambony noho ny vinavina ary avo noho ny tamin'ny taona lasa ny isan'ny olona sy ny mpizaha tany, izay arahan'ny tahan'ny hari-karena isan-taona. |
6 | It was expected that 719,000 international tourists would visit Rio de Janeiro alone (last year, there were 705,000). | Novinavinaina fa ho 710 000 ny mpizaha tany mety hamangy an'I Rio de Janeiro fotsiny (tamin'ny taona lasa dia nahitana 705 000). |
7 | And with the dollar on a high, many of the Brazilians who would normally spend their holidays abroad decided to have a carnival at home, traveling within the country. | Ary noho ny taham-bola miakatra eo amin'ny vola dollar, dia ho betsaka ireo Breziliana no hanapakevitra hijanona ao an-toerana hanao karnavalo ary hivezivezy ao anatin'ny firenena ihany, raha araka ny tokony ho izy dia matetika no mandany ny fotoanany amin'ny fety any ivelany ry zareo. |
8 | During Carnival, people dress up, indulge themselves or just take the always welcomed opportunity of time off to recharge batteries. | Manao fiankanjoana ny olona mandritra ny Karnavalo, manala azy na mamahana angovo avy amin'ilay fotoana izay ekena foana hoe andro tsy fiasana ry zareo. |
9 | The country grinds to a halt during the celebration, and many say the new year only begins after carnival. | Miisatra sady mijanona ny firenena mandritra ny fankalazana, ary betsaka no miteny hoe manomboka ny taom-baovao ao aorian'ny karnavalo. |
10 | It is impossible not to laugh at people's creativity when it comes to making costumes with a pinch of irreverence, sense of humour and an eye for local and international current affairs. | Tsy azo antoka ny hisian'ny fihomehezana ireo famoronan-tsehatra ataon'ny olona rehefa eo anatrehan'ireo fiankanjoana tsy maontina, na endrika mahatsikaiky sy ireo jery todika mahakasika ny raharaha ao an-toerana sy iraisam-pirenena. |
