The first World Cup ever held in Africa opened on Friday in a dazzling burst of joy, color and noise - and just a tinge of sadness.
历史上首次在非洲举行的世界杯周五在语言无法形容的喜悦色彩和喧嚣中开始了，不过仍然带有一丝淡淡的忧伤。
Before a jubilant, horn-blowing crowd in Soccer City, the spectacular stadium between Johannesburg and Soweto, hundreds of African dancers in vivid greens, reds and yellows paraded onto the field for the opening ceremony of the month-long tournament.
庆祝活动开始前，足球城的人们吹着号角，数百名非洲舞者穿着鲜艳的绿色，红色和黄色服装行进到位于约翰内斯堡和索韦托之间壮观的体育馆前，参加此次为期一个月赛事的庆典活动。
