首次在中国举办的上海世博会已经在5月份开启大幕，作为一次人类文明的精彩对话，上海世博会将给我们带来什么呢？接下来让我们一起来领略一下各大主题馆的魅力吧。

Theme Pavilions

Expo 2010 will have five theme pavilions,namely,Urbanian,City Being,Urban Planet,Footprint and Future.The first three are housed in the Theme Pavilion building in Zone B which is one of the Expo landmarks,for which the design is inspired by the concept of the “paper folding”.As an attractive feature,the roof is designed to imitate the dormer window that is often found in Shikumen houses (a traditional Shanghai architectural style).The other two pavilions,Footprint and Future,are located in two modified industrial buildings in Zone D and Zone E respectively;they represent a fascinating mix of tradition and modernity.

主题馆

上海世博会设有五个主题馆，其中城市人馆、城市生命馆和城市地球馆三个主题馆位于浦东B片区的主题馆建筑内。展馆外形设计从“折纸”的创意出发，屋顶则模仿了上海里弄“老虎窗”正面开、背面斜坡的特点，显示上海传统石库门建筑的文化魅力。城市足迹馆和城市未来馆分别位于浦西的D片区和E片区，两座展馆建筑利用原工业建筑进行设计改建，构成传统与现代相互呼应的崭新空间。

Urbanian Pavilion

Urbanian Pavilion,focusing on the needs and development of people,tells the stories of people in cities.In its five sections,“Family”,“Work”,“Contact”,“Learning” and “Health”,visitors will see the videos of six real families from six cities of five continents.Together with the exhibits,settings and multimedia installations,the sight of 11 cities are racily showed.Visitors will have a vivid view of city dwellers’life and it is the pursuit of a better life that draws people to urban areas.

城市人馆

展馆以人的需求与发展为主线，讲述城市中“人的故事”。通过对世界五大洲六个城市中六个不同家庭的跟踪拍摄，将他们的故事嵌入“家庭”、“工作”、 “交往”、“学习”和“健康”五个展区，运用实物、布景与多媒体特效相结合的手法，营造出11个不同城市的景观，让观者可以身临其境地了解城市人的不同需求，体验“人们留在城市，是为了更好地生活”。

Pavilion of City Being

The theme of life,or the city’s journey of life,runs through allits exhibitions.In a metaphorical way with high scientific technologies,a city is compared to a living being consisting of body and soul.

城市生命馆

展馆以“生命”为主线，总揽城市的“生命之旅”。馆内通过高科技的手法，以隐喻的形式，表明城市如同一个生命活体，具备生命的结构和灵魂。

Pavilion of Urban Planet

The top of two parallel spiral ramps offers a good view of a 32-meter-diameter globe.Its five sections including“Blue Planet” and“The Only Planet We Have”tell how the development,sometimes overdevelopment,of cities produces ecological problems,and how people awaken to urbanization and environmental challenges.Visitors come to understand cities as a source of both problems and solutions.

城市地球馆

展馆展示空间主要是两条平行的螺旋状坡道，参观者可以在其顶端俯瞰直径达32米的巨型球冠。展馆内设置“城市蔓延”、“危机之道”、“蓝色星球”、“解决之道”、“我们只有一个地球”五个展区，分别讲述城市的发展与过度发展造成的生态问题，展现了人类对城市及环境问题的认知、觉醒与努力。参观者通过与展品的情感互动，可认识到城市既是问题的制造者，也是问题的解决者。

Pavilion of Footprint

The Pavilion includes three exhibition halls— “City’s Origin”,“Growing City”and “Urban Wisdom”.It traces the birth and growth of cities,their philosophies and the urban wisdom centering innova-tion and harmony.

城市足迹馆

展馆通过“城市起源”、“城市发展”、“城市智慧”三个展厅，分层次地展现诞生与崛起的城市元素、人文与转型的城市哲理、创意与和谐的城市智慧。

Pavilion of Future

The exhibition starts with an interaction with visitors,inviting them to imagine what cities will be like in the future.Through movies,books and sculptures,it tells how a city was envisaged,planned and realized in history,proposes the various possibilities of a future city,and points to the spiritual elements that have always driven human progress.

城市未来馆

展馆内的展示以互动方式开始，邀请参观者畅想未来的城市，然后运用影片、书籍和雕塑等方式，展示历史上人们对未来城市的梦想、设计与实践，表明未来城市建立在今日挑战的基础上，并且畅想未来城市的各种可能，阐述推动人类进步永恒不变的精神元素。
