English term or phrase: happy collections of merry-go-rounds on a fair
The spirit of the Belgium people was captured in a happy collections of merry-go-rounds on a fair, each
of the structures telling a story of it’s own.

这段话是对韩国2012 年丽水世博会 比利时馆的介绍,第一句话应怎样翻译为好? happy collections of merry-go-rounds on a fair 是什么意思? structures 怎样翻译?

非常感谢!

Chinese translation:一些快乐的旋转木马
Explanation:
merry-go-rounds 是我们所说的旋转木马。

因为后文有each structures,所以这里指的是真正的物体或旋转木马,应该不是引申的那个“一连串的繁忙活动”的意思。

估计比利时的展出是通过旋转木马的方式来表现的

世博会上一连串欢快的活动


Explanation:
比利时人民的精神在世博会上一连串欢快的活动中得以体现,每项活动都讲述了比利时人自己的故事。

柯林斯英汉双解大词典上merry-go-round又解“一连串的繁忙活动”。
Structure这里我想意译成这些活动的组成部分。
