里约的象征(The symbols of Rio)

Sugarloaf山可能是巴西最受国际认可的地区之一，它可以俯瞰瓜纳巴拉湾周围的水域和繁华的里约热内卢市。一辆著名的缆车将乌尔卡（Urca）——通往糖面包山（Sugarloaf Mountain）的第一座山（215米）——与港口上方396米的山相连。它们一起形成了糖面包山和乌尔卡山自然纪念碑，与救世主基督雕像一起，是该市最著名的明信片图像。这辆车也连接了两座山和普拉亚·维梅尔哈（Praia Vermelha），设计于1908年，并于1912年投入使用。这是该国第一辆缆车，也是世界第三辆缆车。

Perhaps one of the most internationally recognized parts of Brazil, Sugarloaf Mountain overlooks the surrounding waters of Guanabara Bay and the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro. A famous cable car connects Urca – the first hill (215 metres) on the way up to Sugarloaf Mountain – with the mountain itself, which reaches a height of 396 metres above the harbour. Together they form the Sugarloaf Mountain and Urca Hill Natural Monument which, along with the Christ the Redeemer statue, are the city's most famous postcard images. The vehicle, which also connects the two hills to Praia Vermelha, was conceived in 1908 and opened in 1912. It was the first cable car in the country and the third in the world.
