世界杯：巴埃纳一球制胜，西班牙一比零小胜乌拉圭力压出线

这场球的结果，决定了两支球队完全不同的命运。

The result of this game decided two completely different fates.

西班牙赢了，拿到小组第一，进入下一轮；

Spain won, taking first in the group and entering the next round;

而乌拉圭输了，被淘汰出局，要提前回家了。

while Uruguay lost, knocked out, having to go home early.

先说说这两支球队。

First, about these two teams.

西班牙是欧洲的传统强队，踢法很有特点。

Spain is a traditional European power with a distinctive style.

他们最擅长的，就是不停地传球，把球控在自己脚下。

What they do best is pass endlessly, keeping the ball at their own feet.

对手想抢，又抢不到，慢慢就被耗得没了脾气。

The opponent wants to win it but can't, and slowly gets worn out of patience.

乌拉圭来自南美，也是一支很有历史的球队，以前还拿过世界杯冠军。

Uruguay comes from South America, a team with great history too, having even won the World Cup before.

所以这两个队碰面，本来是一场很有看点的比赛。

So when these two teams meet, it was supposed to be a game full of intrigue.

要知道，乌拉圭虽然是个小国家，人口不多，

You should know that although Uruguay is a small country with a small population,

但是他们对足球非常认真，出过很多很厉害的球员。

they take soccer very seriously and have produced many formidable players.

在南美，乌拉圭一直是一支让人尊重的球队。

In South America, Uruguay has always been a respected team.

正因为这样，他们这次的表现，才更让人意外。

Precisely because of that, their showing this time is all the more surprising.

我们来看比赛。

Let's look at the game.

一开始，两个队都很谨慎，谁也不敢轻易压上。

At the start, both teams were cautious, neither daring to push up easily.

毕竟这是小组最后一场，输了就回家，谁都不想先犯错。

After all, this was the last group game — lose and you're home, so no one wanted to make the first mistake.

所以上半场大部分时间，比分都是零比零。

So for most of the first half, the score was zero to zero.

真正的关键一刻，出现在上半场快结束的时候。

The real key moment came near the end of the first half.

第四十二分钟，西班牙的巴埃纳抓住机会，打进一球，一比零。

In the forty-second minute, Spain's Baena seized a chance and scored, one to zero.

这个球进得很及时，让西班牙在中场休息前就占据了主动。

This goal came at a timely moment, giving Spain the initiative before the break.

下半场，轮到乌拉圭着急了。

In the second half, it was Uruguay's turn to grow anxious.

他们必须进球，不然就会被淘汰。

They had to score, or they'd be eliminated.

于是乌拉圭开始往前压，想把比分扳平。

So Uruguay started pushing forward, trying to equalize.

可是西班牙的防守非常稳，传球也很有耐心。

But Spain's defense was very steady, and their passing very patient.

乌拉圭越想进球，越是踢不出好机会。

The more Uruguay wanted to score, the fewer good chances they could create.

一直到比赛结束，乌拉圭也没能攻破西班牙的球门。

Right to the end of the game, Uruguay couldn't break through Spain's goal.

最终比分定格在一比零，西班牙取胜。

The final score was fixed at one to zero, Spain victorious.

这场球对乌拉圭来说，是很沉重的一击。

This game is a heavy blow for Uruguay.

乌拉圭是南美足球的代表之一，名气和历史都很厉害。

Uruguay is one of the faces of South American soccer, formidable in fame and history.

可是这次世界杯，他们连续几场都没能踢好，最后小组没能出线。

But at this World Cup, they failed to play well over several games and ultimately couldn't get out of the group.

更让人感慨的是，这已经是他们第二次在小组赛就被淘汰了。

What's even more poignant is that this is already the second time they've been eliminated in the group stage.

对一支这么有底蕴的球队来说，这样的结果确实让人意外，也让球迷很失望。

For a team with such pedigree, this result is genuinely surprising and very disappointing to fans.

对西班牙来说，这场胜利则意义重大。

For Spain, this win means a great deal.

他们用一场稳稳的一比零，拿下小组第一，状态和信心都很好。

With a steady one to zero, they took first in the group, form and confidence both high.

西班牙的传控打法一旦运转起来，是很难对付的，很多人都很看好他们。

Spain's possession game, once it gets going, is very hard to deal with, and many are backing them.

其实这场球也说明一个道理：在世界杯，光有名气是不够的。

Actually, this game also shows a truth: at the World Cup, fame alone is not enough.

不管你以前多厉害，每一届都要重新证明自己。

No matter how great you were before, you have to prove yourself anew every edition.

乌拉圭这次没能做到，所以只能接受出局的结果。

Uruguay couldn't do it this time, so they can only accept being knocked out.

而西班牙做到了，所以他们可以继续往前走。

And Spain did it, so they can keep moving forward.

足球很公平，它只看你这一届踢得怎么样。

Soccer is very fair — it only looks at how you play this edition.

这就是西班牙一比零乌拉圭，一边是晋级的喜悦，一边是出局的遗憾。

That's Spain one to zero Uruguay — on one side the joy of advancing, on the other the regret of going out.
