世界杯之不可思议
Since this is the topic of the month, of the moment, the thing that everyone is talking about I just have to talk about it.
这是本月最热门的话题,每个人都在高谈阔论,我不能免俗只好也说一说。
The summary of the last seven days, the most important things:
在过去7天里面,最重要的事情:
1. The smallest, weakest, unpredictable team that made it to the quarterfinals the team that conquered the hearts of many North and South Americans was Costa Rica. This team leaves the world cup undefeated (Just lost in penalties to Holland) but did not lose any game in regular time. Defeated Uruguay and Italy and Tied England. Then defeated Greece in penalty kicks and finally lost to Holland in penalties.Definaltely a story to mention
最小,最弱,最让人意想不到的哥斯达黎加队杀入了四分之一决赛,征服了很多北美和南美球迷的心。这支队伍以不败战绩离开了世界杯(只是在点球大战输给了荷兰,但是在常规比赛没有输掉任何一场)。它击败了乌拉圭、意大利,战平英格兰。然后在点球大战里打败希腊,可惜最后在点球中遗憾负于荷兰。这绝对是值得一提的故事。
2. Argentina makes it to the finals and in a very tactical game ties 0-0 with Holland but wins in penalty kicks 4-2 defeating Holland. Why Holland didn’t use the goal keeper specialist that was used against Costa Rica?
阿根廷在常规比赛中战术性地以0比0逼平荷兰,接着又在点球大战中4比2战胜荷兰进入决赛。为什么荷兰不派出那个对阵哥斯达黎加的守门专家呢?
3. Last the dramatic story probably of the world cup. Brazil loses 7-1 yes, you read right SEVEN to 1 to Germany. How can this happen? This has been the worst defeat by any Brazilian team in any competition. This will not be forgotten any time soon, probably in centuries. I think a score like this in a semifinal game will never happen again. It was the most embarrassing thing that could have happens to Brazil team, the host country and its people. This defeat surpasses the great tragedy of Maracana in 1950 when Brazil playing the world cup in its country loses in the final game to Uruguay 2-1 in front of 200,000 people in a stadium that was made to see Brazil Champion.
最后,可能是世界杯最戏剧性的故事了。巴西1比7惨负,是的,你没有读错,1比7输给德国。这怎么可能发生呢?这是巴西队在任何一场比赛中都没有经历过的惨痛失败。在短期内甚至几个世纪内都无法被忘记。我认为在世界杯的半决赛里不会再出现这样的比分了。这是巴西队,作为东道主,以及他们的人民可能遭遇最大的尴尬了。这场失利更甚于1950年马拉卡纳悲剧,当时巴西队在自己的主场,在20万人前面,在为见证巴西夺冠而建的体育馆里面,1比2 输给乌拉圭。
The question here is: How can you lose 7-1 in a semifinal game? These games are supposed to end 1-0, 2-1 or tied 0-0 and won in penalty kicks. Teams that make it this far just can’t lose this bad. And what is even worse is that they have to play again Saturday in a meaningless game against Holland for the third place.
问题是:你怎么可以在一场半决赛里以1比7输掉呢?比分应该是1比0,2比1,或者0比0然后点球结束的啊。能够走到半决赛的球队绝不能输得这么难看。更糟糕的是,他们还要在周六进行一场毫无意义的比赛,对战荷兰争夺第三。
And this is just not it! Their archrivals, worst enemies: Argentina play the final game in their most famous stadium and the Brazilians could see Argentina become champions in their own land. That would just close a horrible chapter in Brazilian Soccer History.
还不止是这样!他们死敌、世仇阿根廷将会在巴西最有名的体育馆里踢决赛,而巴西人民可能在自己的土地上看到阿根廷捧杯。这将成为巴西足球历史上最不忍赌的一章。
I do not know if you know that Brazilians and Argentinians are the two countries that live soccer like no other country. Soccer or football is more important than anything else: Politics, the economy, religion even family and friends. It is incredible and hard to explain. So this results, games and situations are extremely important to them.
我不知道你是否了解巴西和阿根廷是两个对足球多么热爱的国家,足球比其它任何事情都重要:政治,经济,宗教甚至家庭和朋友。非常不可思议和难以解释。所以这些结果、比赛对他们来说非常重要。
I think regardless of who wins in the final game, definitely this world cup has been the best ever!
我认为不管谁赢得冠军,本届世界杯都绝对是有史以来最棒的。
I also believe that if Argentina wins the final game this world cup will probably be on the top list for many, many years to come.
我同样相信如果阿根廷夺冠的话,将可能在很长时间内都保持榜首位置。
We say that America is for the Americans so my favorite team to win is Argentina. No European team has won a world cup in American soil. This time Germany could be the first one, they have a great chance to win it all and an incredible team.
我们说美洲是美洲人民的,所以我最盼望获胜的球队是阿根廷。 还没有一支欧洲球队曾经在美洲的土地上赢过世界杯冠军。这一次,德国队有希望做到,他们是一支不可思议的球队,很有机会获胜。
Anyway, next week everything will go back to normal………less distractions and go back to business as usual.
不管怎么说, 下个礼拜所有的事情将回归正常……干扰少了,回归工作。
Hope to see you all in Russia 2018 which will be a lot closer to home and easier to make it there.
希望2018在俄罗斯见到你们,我们离那里近多了,去那里更容易。
