今天我们说一场很好看的世界杯球赛。
是伊朗队和新西兰队。
最后的比分是二比二。
两个队一共进了四个球,非常热闹。
这场球最大的看点,就是来回拉扯。
新西兰两次领先,伊朗两次追平。
你进一个,我也进一个,一直到最后。
先说说这两个队。
伊朗是亚洲的一支强队,来过很多次世界杯,经验比较多。
新西兰来自大洋洲,平时来世界杯的机会不多,所以他们格外珍惜。
赛前很多人都觉得,伊朗应该更有机会赢。
可是足球场上,事情常常不按大家想的来。
这场球,新西兰就踢得很有冲劲,一点也不害怕。
比赛一开始,新西兰就给了大家一个惊喜。
才踢了七分钟左右,新西兰就进了一个球。
进球的人叫贾斯特。
他速度很快,抓住机会一脚就把球打进了门。
一比零,新西兰领先。
开场这么快就丢球,伊朗有点没想到。
不过伊朗很快就回过神来。
他们开始往前压,想把比分追回来。
到了三十多分钟,伊朗的雷扎伊安进了一个球。
一比一,两个队又回到了同一条线上。
上半场就在一比一中结束。
下半场更精彩。
新西兰的贾斯特又进了一个球。
这是他今天的第二个球,我们叫梅开二度。
二比一,新西兰再次领先。
一个人进两个球,贾斯特今天真的很厉害。
但是伊朗还是不放弃。
没过多久,伊朗的莫赫比也进了一个球。
二比二!
伊朗第二次追平了。
两次落后,两次追上来,伊朗的这股韧劲很让人佩服。
后面的时间,两个队都想再进一个,拿下这场球。
但是攻来攻去,谁也没能再进球。
最后哨声响起,比分定在二比二。
两个队各拿到一分。
怎么看这场球呢?
对伊朗来说,两次落后都能扳平,说明他们心理很稳,不容易被打垮。
对新西兰来说,两次领先都没能守住,多少有点可惜。
不过他们有贾斯特这样能进球的球员,进攻是有威胁的。
对两个队来说,这一分都不算差。
在一场对手很强的比赛里,能拿到一分,就是为出线留住了希望。
而对看球的人来说,这就是最过瘾的比赛——进球多,又有来有回。
四个进球,两次反超,两次扳平,这样的球,怎么看都不亏。
这场球也让大家记住了两个名字。
一个是新西兰的贾斯特,他一个人进了两个球,是今天最亮的星。
一个是伊朗的莫赫比,他进的那个球,帮球队第二次救了回来。
还有伊朗的雷扎伊安,第一个追平的球也是他进的。
这样的比赛,对学中文的朋友也很好。
一场球里,又有领先,又有追平,又有反超,正好可以多听几遍这些说法。
这就是伊朗二比二新西兰的故事。
English transcript reference

Today we're talking about a very entertaining World Cup match.

It's Iran versus New Zealand.

The final score was two to two.

The two teams scored four goals in all — very lively.

The biggest draw of this game was the back-and-forth.

New Zealand led twice, Iran equalized twice.

You score one, I score one, all the way to the end.

First, a word about the two teams.

Iran is a strong Asian side, has been to many World Cups, with plenty of experience.

New Zealand comes from Oceania, doesn't get many World Cup chances, so they cherish it especially.

Before the match, many felt Iran had the better chance to win.

But on the soccer pitch, things often don't go the way people expect.

In this game, New Zealand played with real drive and weren't afraid at all.

When the match began, New Zealand gave everyone a surprise.

Only about seven minutes in, New Zealand scored.

The scorer is named Just.

He's very fast, seized a chance, and struck the ball into the net.

One to zero, New Zealand ahead.

Conceding so early, Iran were a bit caught off guard.

But Iran quickly came to their senses.

They started pushing forward, wanting to pull the score back.

At around thirty minutes, Iran's Rezaeian scored.

One to one, the two teams back on the same line.

The first half ended at one to one.

The second half was even better.

New Zealand's Just scored again.

This was his second goal today — we call it a brace.

Two to one, New Zealand ahead once more.

Scoring two goals by himself, Just was truly outstanding today.

But Iran still wouldn't give up.

Not long after, Iran's Mohebi scored as well.

Two to two!

Iran equalized a second time.

Twice behind, twice level — Iran's tenacity was admirable.

In the time after, both teams wanted one more to take the game.

But attack as they might, neither could score again.

The whistle finally blew, the score fixed at two to two.

Each team took one point.

How to view this game?

For Iran, equalizing twice from behind shows they're mentally steady and not easily broken.

For New Zealand, failing to hold either lead is something of a pity.

Still, with a scorer like Just, their attack carries real threat.

For both teams, this point isn't bad at all.

In a game against a strong opponent, taking a point keeps their hopes of advancing alive.

And for the fans, this is the most thrilling kind of game — lots of goals, and end to end.

Four goals, two times taking the lead, two equalizers — a game like this is worth it any way you look.

This game also made everyone remember two names.

One is New Zealand's Just, who scored two by himself — the brightest star today.

One is Iran's Mohebi, whose goal rescued the team a second time.

And Iran's Rezaeian, who scored the first equalizer too.

A game like this is also great for friends learning Chinese.

In one match there's leading, equalizing, and going ahead again — perfect for hearing these expressions a few more times.

That's the story of Iran two to two New Zealand.
