在经过31个日夜的鏖战之后,2010年南非世界杯终于来到了落幕的一天!本次世界杯的闭幕式在约翰内斯堡的足球城体育场隆重举行,拉丁天后夏奇拉现场演唱了本次世界杯的主题曲《Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)》(《《非洲时刻》)。
闭幕式在一系列非常具有魔幻色彩的影像中拉开帷幕。第一个篇章的主题是“回到足球城”,这主要相对的是开幕式“足球城”将精彩分散到其他比赛场地的环节。
拉拉队们唱起了欢快的乐曲,接下来是本次南非世界杯主题曲演唱者夏奇拉的登场,这位拉丁天后演唱了本次世界杯的主题曲《非洲时刻》,她在上届世界杯的闭幕式中就受邀演唱,而本次世界杯的开幕式她因为场地原因没有按照计划登台,这次演出弥补了所有球迷的遗憾!
此外,获得格莱美奖的南非音乐组合雷村黑斧合唱团也到现场进行了表演。
下面我们一起来回味一下2010年南非世界杯精彩闭幕式的英语新闻报道!
The evening of drama at Soccer City, Johannesburg, had begun with a spectacular closing ceremony which was followed by an unexpected appearance by Nelson Mandela.

The frail but ecstatic former South African president had earlier braved the winter chill to make his first appearance at the tournament.
The iconic statesman, in a fur hat to keep out the evening cold, cast a dignified shadow in contrast to the motley selection of other African leaders including Zimbabwean despot Robert Mugabe, who had flocked to the clash between Holland and Spain in their private jets.
Mr Mandela played a crucial role in bringing the World Cup to Africa, but had yet to make an appearance.
Earlier in the day, his family had hit out at 'extreme pressure' from the sport's governing body FIFA. They had warned that attending the evening spectacular would prove 'too strenuous' for him.
