先说巴西。
First, about Brazil.
巴西是世界足坛最有名的球队之一,拿过很多次世界杯冠军。
Brazil is one of the most famous teams in world soccer, with many World Cup titles.

今天这场球,巴西的球星维尼修斯,成了全场的主角。
In today's game, Brazil's star Vinícius became the lead of the show.
维尼修斯是当今世界上最厉害的球员之一。
Vinícius is one of the most formidable players in the world today.
他速度极快,一个人就能突破好几个人。
He's blazing fast and can beat several players by himself.
对手很怕他,因为不知道他下一步会做什么。
Opponents fear him, because they don't know what he'll do next.
今天,他用两个进球,证明了自己为什么这么有名。
Today, with two goals, he proved why he's so famous.
我们来看比赛。
Let's look at the game.
巴西一开始就很猛。
Brazil was fierce from the start.
才第七分钟,维尼修斯就抓住机会进了一个球,一比零。
Just in the seventh minute, Vinícius seized a chance to score, one to zero.
苏格兰想反击,可是巴西的防守很稳,他们很难找到机会。
Scotland wanted to counter, but Brazil's defense was solid, and they could hardly find a chance.
上半场快结束的时候,维尼修斯又进了一个球,二比零。
Near the end of the first half, Vinícius scored again, two to zero.
一个人进两个球,这就是梅开二度。
One player scoring two goals — that's a brace.
下半场,巴西继续控制比赛。
In the second half, Brazil kept controlling the game.
他们不慌不忙地传球,把苏格兰耗得没有力气。
They passed calmly, wearing Scotland down until they had no energy left.
六十分钟左右,巴西的库尼亚再进一球,三比零。
Around the sixtieth minute, Brazil's Cunha scored again, three to zero.
到这里,比赛基本上没有悬念了。
By this point, the game was basically beyond doubt.
苏格兰全场一个球都没能进,最后零比三落败。
Scotland couldn't score all game, losing zero to three in the end.
说说苏格兰。
A word about Scotland.
其实苏格兰这次世界杯,也有过高光的时刻。
Actually, Scotland had high points at this World Cup too.
他们之前赢过一场球,那是他们多年来的第一场世界杯胜利,全国都很激动。
They had won a game earlier — their first World Cup win in many years, thrilling the whole nation.
只可惜,今天碰上了状态正佳的巴西,实力上的差距太明显。
Sadly, today they ran into a Brazil in fine form, and the gap in quality was too obvious.
输掉这一场之后,苏格兰想出线就非常难了,很可能要提前回家。
After this loss, advancing became very hard for Scotland, and they'll likely go home early.
不过,输给巴西真的不丢人。
Still, losing to Brazil is truly no disgrace.
巴西是夺冠的大热门,谁碰上他们都不好踢。
Brazil is a big title favorite — hard for anyone who meets them.
苏格兰能在这届世界杯赢下一场、留下属于自己的故事,已经值得骄傲。
That Scotland could win one game at this World Cup and leave a story of their own is already something to be proud of.
对巴西来说,这场三比零意义不小。
For Brazil, this three to zero means a lot.
他们以小组第一的身份晋级,状态和信心都很好。
They advanced as group winners, with form and confidence both high.
更重要的是,维尼修斯这样的球星找到了感觉,这对巴西后面的比赛非常关键。
More importantly, a star like Vinícius has found his feet, which is crucial for Brazil's games ahead.
当然,真正的考验还在淘汰赛,巴西也不能掉以轻心。
Of course, the real test is still the knockouts, and Brazil can't be careless.
这场球其实也告诉我们一件事:强队和弱队之间,差的不只是几个球。
This game also tells us one thing: between strong teams and weak ones, the gap is more than a few goals.
差的是整体的速度、技术,还有处理球的从容。
The gap is overall speed, technique, and the calm with which they handle the ball.
巴西可以慢慢踢、稳稳踢,因为他们有这个底气。
Brazil can play slowly and steadily, because they have that assurance.
而苏格兰想拼,却总是慢半拍,这就是差距。
While Scotland want to fight, but are always half a step slow — that's the gap.
但足球的魅力就在于,弱队也会有自己的高光一刻,就像苏格兰之前那场宝贵的胜利。
But soccer's charm lies in this: a weaker team has its own shining moment too, like Scotland's precious earlier win.
这就是巴西三比零苏格兰,一场强者的表演,也是苏格兰这届世界杯的谢幕之战。
That's Brazil three to zero Scotland — a show by the strong, and Scotland's farewell at this World Cup.
