6月27日,2018年世界杯F组一场生死战在喀山体育场上演,德国队以0:2不敌韩国队,无缘16强。
Defending champions Germany have been eliminated from the World Cup at the group stage following defeat by South Korea, in one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s history.
卫冕冠军德国队在世界杯小组赛中负于韩国队,惨遭淘汰,爆出世界杯历史上最大冷门。
韩国队的两粒进球均出现在伤停补时阶段(injury time/stoppage time)。
Kim Young-gwon’s 92nd-minute goal - which was initially ruled out for offside before being awarded after a video assistant referee decision - left Germany on the brink of elimination.
第92分钟,金英权的进球起初被主裁判判定越位,进球无效,之后在视频助理裁判协助下又认定进球有效,将德国队推向淘汰边缘。
Worse was to come for the world’s number one ranked side, however, when deep into stoppage time and appearing increasingly desperate, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer lost possession in the opponents’ half. Ju Se-jong launched it forward where Son Heung-min tapped into an empty net to score the second.
伤停补时临近结束时,世界排名第一的德国队形势愈发严峻,队员们大举压上,门将诺伊尔放弃自家球门来到韩国队的半场。孙兴民接队友朱世钟长传球将球打入空门。
德国队此番出局,延续了世界杯卫冕冠军小组赛难出线的魔咒,同时也创造了历史。
It is the first time Germany have failed to make it out of the group stage since 1938, and the third consecutive time the holders of the World Cup have been knocked out of the group stages.
这是1938年以来,德国队在世界杯比赛中首次止步小组赛,同时也是世界杯卫冕冠军连续第三次在小组赛就被淘汰。
对于德国队被淘汰,除了上文中提到的be eliminated from the World Cup以外,英文媒体的标题中还用了下面这些表达:
Germany gets knocked out, Mexico advances(Cnet)
德国队出局,墨西哥晋级
Knock out指“击败,淘汰”,所以这场比赛如果以韩国队为主语的话,应该说South Korea knocked out defending champion Germany in a 2-0 match on Wednesday。德国队是被韩国队打败,惨遭淘汰,所以这里使用的是被动的get knocked out,当然也可以用be knocked out的形式。
Germany pay the price for casual World Cup prep with humiliating exit(ESPN)
负辱出局,德国队世界杯备战不力代价惨重
Exit平时的意思是“(建筑物或者某个场所的)出口”,比如,emergency exit(紧急出口)。这里的exit指的是从某个活动中“离场”,比如:England’s exit from the European Championship.
Germany crashes out of World Cup after embarrassing defeat by South Korea(CNN)
爆冷负于韩国,德国队世界杯出局
Crash out指在体育比赛中失利,常见的用法如例句中的crash out of +体育比赛的名称,比如:He crashed out of the French Open in the second round.
当然了,还有一种很惨淡的表达就是head home,比如:Germany headed home in their most wretched tournament result(德国队带着相当惨烈的成绩打道回府了).
