Ferran Torres scores as Spain win World Cup for second time

From: BBC

Spain deservedly won a desperately disappointing World Cup final as Ferran Torres' extra-time strike finally broke the resistance of 10-man Argentina.

The European title holders had created the best opportunities against the defending world champions, who mainly resorted to spoiling tactics and had Enzo Fernandez sent off just before the game went into extra time.

Torres was the hero for Spain when he collected substitute Nico Williams' header to beat Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez with a powerful shot from close range after 106 minutes.

The game failed to live up to expectations as it descended into a war of attrition - while away from the action, this was the World Cup where razzmatazz and superstars came to the showpiece.

President Donald Trump flew in to New Jersey in one of a fleet of helicopters before kick-off, while Shakira, Madonna and Justin Bieber performed in the first World Cup half-time show, stretching the interval out to 27 minutes.

In a dour affair littered with interruptions, followed by that lengthy interval, the game never had any fluency or flow, although Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal forced first-half saves out of Argentina keeper Martinez.

Spain constantly complained about referee Slavko Vincic's leniency, especially when Alexis Mac Allister was late on Dani Olmo, with the first yellow card coming after 40 minutes when Lisandro Martinez brought down Oyarzabal, although the Manchester United defender went off injured shortly afterwards.

The game boiled over in stoppage time when Fernandez, who had already been cautioned, received a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Spain defender Pau Cubarsi.

Argentina keeper Martinez had been their hero, and he prevented Spain scoring a winner in the final seconds of normal time when he made a superb save from Lamine Yamal's free-kick.

He was in action again with another crucial stop from Williams' header. Williams then had a goal ruled out for substitute Mikel Merino's foul on Nicolas Otamendi.

Argentina came back to beat Egypt and England in the knockout stage - but could not repeat the feat here as Spain won the men's World Cup for the second time.

And it means they become the first nation ever to be men's and women's world champions at the same time.

含注释全文：

Ferran Torres scores as Spain win World Cup for second time

From: BBC

Spain deservedly won a desperately disappointing World Cup final as Ferran Torres' extra-time strike finally broke the resistance of 10-man Argentina.

西班牙在一场令人极度失望的世界杯决赛中实至名归地夺冠，费兰·托雷斯（Ferran Torres）于加时赛攻入一球，最终打破十人应战的阿根廷的顽强抵抗。

deservedly /dɪˈzɜː.vɪd.li/ 表示“理所应当地；当之无愧地”，英文解释为“If something happens to you deservedly, you deserve it to happen.”举个🌰：He won the award for best actor, and deservedly so. 他获得了最佳男演员奖，实在是当之无愧。

desperately /ˈdes.pər.ət.li/ 1）表示“非常；极其”，英文解释为“extremely or very much”举个🌰：He was desperately ill. 他病得很重。

2）表示“（因绝望而）拼命地；孤注一掷地”，英文解释为“in a way that shows you are frightened and ready to try anything to change a situation”举个🌰：They fought desperately for their lives. 他们为了活命而拼命搏斗。

extra time /ˌek.strə ˈtaɪm/ 表示“（足球比赛的）加时赛”，英文解释为“a period of time in a sports game in which play continues if neither team has won in the usual time allowed for the game”

The European title holders had created the best opportunities against the defending world champions, who mainly resorted to spoiling tactics and had Enzo Fernandez sent off just before the game went into extra time.

这支欧洲冠军面对卫冕世界冠军时创造了较多具威胁的机会，而阿根廷大部分时间主要采取破坏比赛节奏的战术，并在比赛进入加时前不久失去恩佐·费尔南德斯（Enzo Fernandez），他被罚离场。

defend作动词，可以表示“卫冕”，英文解释为“When a sports player plays in the tournament which they won the previous time it was held, you can say that they are defending their title.”举个🌰：The defending champion will play her first match of the tournament tomorrow. 卫冕冠军将在明天进行她在此次锦标赛中的第一场比赛。

📍同样在体育比赛中，还可以指“防守，防卫”，英文解释欸“to try to prevent the opposing player or players from scoring points, goals, etc. in a sport”举个🌰：In the last ten minutes of the game, we needed to defend. 我们得在比赛的最后十分钟内进行防守。

📍而在法律上则可以指“（在法庭上）为…辩护，当…的辩护律师”（to act as a lawyer for someone who has been accused of something in a court of law and try to prove that they are not guilty），如“被告”就是defendant：A defendant is a person who has been accused of breaking the law and is being tried in court. 此前在EDG是什么？文中卫冕冠军用的是：the reigning champions "DWG KIA"。

📍reigning /ˈreɪnɪŋ/ 表示“统治的；在位的；（冠军）本届的；现任的”，英文解释为“The reigning champion is the most recent winner of a contest or competition at the time you are talking about.”举个🌰：She's the reigning champion at Wimbledon. 她是本届温布尔登网球赛冠军。

📍卫冕冠军，指个人或团体处于保卫自己冠军之冕的状态。中文意指上届此项目的冠军，此次依然参加此项目的角逐。如果这一届此类比赛的个人或团体夺了冠军，那么在这一届比赛中其就是“成功卫冕”，则其就蝉联冠军了。

📍“defending champion”和“reigning champion”这两个短语在使用时有细微的差别，但通常在体育赛事报道中可以交替使用。Defending Champion：直接指向“卫冕冠军”，意指上一届的冠军，在当前比赛中试图保持自己的冠军头衔。Reigning Champion：通常用来描述当前仍持有冠军头衔的人或队伍。强调的是他们目前仍然是冠军，但不一定涉及到他们正在“防守”这个头衔的情景，尽管在很多情况下，这两个词的用法和含义是重叠的。 如果说“He is the reigning champion,” 指的是他目前仍然是最新的、现任的冠军，强调的是他的持续成功。如果说“He is the defending champion,”则强调的是他在即将到来的比赛中将要防守这一头衔。实际上，如果一个运动员在连续两届或多届比赛中持续获胜，那么他既是“defending champion”也是“reigning champion”。所以，根据上下文的不同，选择使用哪一个说法会更准确地传达所要表达的意思。

resort /rɪˈzɔːt/ 作名词，表示“度假胜地；旅游胜地”，英文解释为“a place where many people go for rest, sport, or another stated purpose”如：a tourist resort 旅游胜地。

作动词，表示“诉诸；凭借；采用；求助于，依靠”，英文解释为“the fact that you have to do something because there is no other way of achieving something”举个🌰：We may have to resort to using untrained staff.我们也许只能使用未受过训练的员工了。

spoil /spɔɪl/ 1）表示“破坏；糟蹋；毁掉”，英文解释为“to destroy or reduce the pleasure, interest, or beauty of something”举个🌰：He tried not to let the bad news spoil his evening. 他努力不让那个坏消息破坏他晚上的兴致。

2）表示“溺爱，娇惯;宠坏”，英文解释为“to allow a child to do or have everything that it wants to, usually so that it expects to get everything it wants and does not show respect to other people”

3）表示“（使）（食物）变质，（使）变坏”，英文解释为“When food spoils or is spoiled, it is no longer good enough to eat.”举个🌰：The dessert will spoil if you don't keep it in the fridge. 如果你不把甜点放在冰箱里，它会坏掉的。

tactic /ˈtæk.tɪk/ 表示“策略，手法”，英文解释为“a planned way of doing something”举个🌰：These bomb attacks represent a change of tactics by the terrorists. 这些炸弹袭击事件表明恐怖分子改变了策略。

表示“罚（某人）下场”，英文解释为“to order a sports player to leave the playing area during a game because they have done something wrong”举个🌰：He was sent off for swearing at the referee. 他因辱骂裁判而被罚下场。

Torres was the hero for Spain when he collected substitute Nico Williams' header to beat Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez with a powerful shot from close range after 106 minutes.

比赛进行至106分钟时，费兰·托雷斯接应后备上阵的尼科·威廉斯（Nico Williams）一记头槌回传，在近距离以一记劲射攻破阿根廷门将埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯（Emiliano Martinez）的大门，成为西班牙的英雄。

substitute /ˈsʌb.stɪ.tʃuːt/ 1）作名词，表示“代替者；代替物；代用品；（体育比赛中的）替补队员”，英文解释为“a person or thing that you use or have instead of the one you normally use or have”，如：a meat substitute 肉食替代品。

2）作动词，表示“用…代替，代之以”，英文解释为“to use something or someone instead of another thing or person”举个🌰：You can substitute oil for butter in this recipe. 这道菜中你可以用食用油代替黄油。

The game failed to live up to expectations as it descended into a war of attrition - while away from the action, this was the World Cup where razzmatazz and superstars came to the showpiece.

这场比赛未能达到外界期望，最终演变成一场消耗战。相比场上的比赛内容，这届世界杯的焦点反而是盛大场面与超级巨星。

descend /dɪˈsend/ 1）表示“（暮色）降临；（天幕）落下”，英文解释为“If darkness or night descends, it becomes dark and day changes to night.”

2）表示“下来；下去；下降”，英文解释为“to come or go down from a higher to a lower level”举个例子：The plane began to descend. 飞机开始降落。

3）表示“（不好的感觉）遍布，蔓延；（通常指不好的情形）笼罩”，英文解释为“If a negative or bad feeling descends, it is felt everywhere in a place or by everyone at the same time.”举个🌰：A feeling of despair descended (on us) as we realized that we were lost. 当我们发现自己迷了路的时候，一种绝望的情绪（在我们中间）弥漫开来。

attrition /əˈtrɪʃ.ən/ 表示“（尤指给敌人的力量或自信造成的）消耗，损耗，削弱”，英文解释为“gradually making something weaker and destroying it, especially the strength or confidence of an enemy by repeatedly attacking it”如：a war of attrition 消耗战。

razzmatazz /ˈræz.mə.tæz/ 表示“令人眼花缭乱的活动；热闹喧嚣的宣传”，英文解释为“noisy and noticeable activity, intended to attract attention”举个🌰：The new car was launched with great razzmatazz: champagne, food, free gifts, and dancers. 推出这款新轿车时活动搞得热闹非凡、五花八门——开香槟酒、提供膳食、散发礼品，还有舞蹈演员助兴。

showpiece /ˈʃəʊ.piːs/ 表示“榜样，范例”，英文解释为“an extremely good example of something that deserves to be admired”如：the city's new showpiece library 这座城市新的示范图书馆，举个🌰：The house is a showpiece of colonial architecture. 这栋房子是殖民地风格建筑的范例。

此处showpiece指世界杯这项顶级赛事本身，即“大型展示舞台”或“重头戏”。在体育语境中，the showpiece常是the showpiece event的简称，强调该赛事是汇聚顶尖球员和华丽表演的焦点盛会。

President Donald Trump flew in to New Jersey in one of a fleet of helicopters before kick-off, while Shakira, Madonna and Justin Bieber performed in the first World Cup half-time show, stretching the interval out to 27 minutes.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在开赛前乘坐由多架直升机组成的机队飞抵新泽西，而夏奇拉（Shakira）、麦当娜（Madonna）及贾斯汀·比伯（Justin Bieber）则在世界杯史上首次中场表演中登台演出，令中场休息时间延长至27分钟。

kick off动词短语，表示“（足球比赛）开球，开始”，英文解释为“If a game of football kicks off, it starts.”当然，也可以指活动，事件的开始，举个🌰：What time does the game kick off? 比赛什么时候开始？

🎬电影《又一年》（Another Year）中的台词提到：- Shall I kick off? - You take the honour.-可以让我开球吗 -当然可以。

📍kick-off 名词，表示“（活动的）开始”，英文解释为“the time when an activity starts”或者表示“（足球比赛的）开球，开赛，中线开球”，英文解释为“the time when a game of football starts, or when it begins again after it has stopped because of a goal, etc.”

stretch /stretʃ/ 作名词，1）表示“（连续的）一段时间”，英文解释为“a continuous period of time”举个🌰：The elderly generally need far less rest than the young, and tend to sleep in several short stretches. 年长者一般需要的休息时间比年轻人要少得多，而且往往会分成几个小段时间睡觉。

2）表示“（土地或水域的）一片，一段”，英文解释为“a continuous area of land or water”举个🌰：This particular stretch of coast is especially popular with hikers. 在这一段海岸散步的人特别多。

3）表示“（赛跑的）阶段；一段跑道”，英文解释为“a stage in a race, or a part of a racetrack”举个🌰：She looked certain to win as she entered the final stretch. 她进入最后一段跑道时似乎已经赢定了。

作动词，1）表示“到…的限度；超过…的限度；竭尽”，英文解释为“to go as far as or past the usual limit of something”举个🌰：Many families' budgets are already stretched to breaking point. 许多家庭的预算已经撑到了极限。

In a dour affair littered with interruptions, followed by that lengthy interval, the game never had any fluency or flow, although Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal forced first-half saves out of Argentina keeper Martinez.

在这场沉闷且频频中断的比赛中，再加上冗长的中场休息，赛事始终缺乏流畅节奏。不过，拉明·亚马尔（Lamine Yamal）和米克尔·奥亚萨瓦尔（Mikel Oyarzabal）在上半场仍曾迫使阿根廷门将马丁内斯作出扑救。

表示“布满，到处都是”，英文解释为“A place, document, or other object that is littered with something has or contains a lot of that thing.”举个🌰：The newspaper has a reputation for being littered with spelling mistakes. 该报错字连篇，尽人皆知。

Spain constantly complained about referee Slavko Vincic's leniency, especially when Alexis Mac Allister was late on Dani Olmo, with the first yellow card coming after 40 minutes when Lisandro Martinez brought down Oyarzabal, although the Manchester United defender went off injured shortly afterwards.

西班牙不断抱怨裁判施拉夫科·温契奇（Slavko Vincic）执法过于宽松，尤其是在亚历克西斯·麦卡利斯特（Alexis Mac Allister）对达尼·奥尔莫（Dani Olmo）作出迟来拦截之后。比赛至40分钟才出现首张黄牌，当时利桑德罗·马丁内斯（Lisandro Martinez）拉倒奥亚萨瓦尔，但这名曼联（Manchester United）后卫不久后因伤退下火线。

The game boiled over in stoppage time when Fernandez, who had already been cautioned, received a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Spain defender Pau Cubarsi.

补时阶段，比赛火药味升温。早已领有一面黄牌的恩佐·费尔南德斯因鲁莽侵犯西班牙后卫保·库巴西（Pau Cubarsi；古巴斯）被出示第二面黄牌离场。

Argentina keeper Martinez had been their hero, and he prevented Spain scoring a winner in the final seconds of normal time when he made a superb save from Lamine Yamal's free-kick.

门将马丁内斯一直是阿根廷的英雄人物。他在法定时间最后时刻精彩扑出拉明·亚马尔的罚球，阻止西班牙攻入致胜球。

He was in action again with another crucial stop from Williams' header. Williams then had a goal ruled out for substitute Mikel Merino's foul on Nicolas Otamendi.

之后他再次作出关键扑救，化解尼科·威廉斯的头槌攻门。随后威廉斯曾取得入球，但因后备上阵的米克尔·梅里诺（Mikel Merino）对尼古拉斯·奥塔门迪（Nicolas Otamendi）犯规而被判无效。

Argentina came back to beat Egypt and England in the knockout stage - but could not repeat the feat here as Spain won the men's World Cup for the second time.

阿根廷此前曾在淘汰赛阶段先后反胜埃及及英格兰，但这次未能重演同样戏码，最终让西班牙第二次赢得男子世界杯冠军。

我们说的KO实际上就是knockout的缩写（KO is an abbreviation for knockout），表示“（拳击中的）击倒获胜；击败对手的一击；击倒对手获胜”，英文解释为“a blow that makes an opponent fall to the ground and be unable to get up, so that he or she loses the fight”

📍be no easy feat 不容易，非易事。类似的还有be no small feat/ be no mean feat可以理解为“是了不起的成就，绝非易事”，英文解释为：to be a great achievement，举个🌰：Getting the job finished in under a week was no mean feat. 一周内就把这项任务完成了，真了不起。

🎬电影《惊天魔盗团2》（Now You See Me 2）中的台词提到：by performing what he calls an impossible feat. 在这里上演他所谓不可能的奇迹。

And it means they become the first nation ever to be men's and women's world champions at the same time.

这亦意味着西班牙成为历来首个同时拥有男子及女子世界冠军头衔的国家。
