足球英语：再不轮换，安氏皇马必将重蹈覆辙

本篇文章选自公众号：每天一篇体育英语

Real Madrid got away with one on Wednesday evening as they edged past Athletic Club at home.

本周三，皇马在主场以1-0比分险胜了毕尔巴鄂竞技。

edge past：稍微超过、这里就是险胜的意思

it wound up being a positive evening for Los Blancos as they made it seven wins from as many games in all competitions and moved seven points clear at the top of La Liga.

这对白衣军团来说是个美好的夜晚，球队已在各项赛事连赢七场，并以7分的优势领跑西甲积分榜。

clear：这里其实不用翻译，就是“净”的意思。补充一下，clear在足球中还可表示“解围”

Karim Benzema’s 12th goal of the La Liga season was enough to see Los Blancos through, but they dodged a number of bullets along their way. Some committed defending, and indeed very good goalkeeping from Thibaut Courtois helped.

本泽马打进了个人联赛第十二个进球，这足以让皇马渡过难关。但本场比赛，他们逃过数劫，某种程度上，这要归功于球队的防守，以及库尔图瓦的神勇扑救。

dodge a bullet：躲过一劫

Eder Militao and Lucas Vazquez stepped up with timely blocks in key moments, and Courtois made a number of top saves to keep his team ahead. But it wasn’t a win that can be put solely down to good defending.

米利唐和巴斯克斯关键时刻及时上前封堵，库尔图瓦多次用顶级扑救让球队保持金身不破。然而，本场比赛皇马并非单靠防守取胜的。

Inaki Williams should have scored early on when he found himself one-on-one with Courtois only to take a heavy touch away from goal. Unai Nunez certainly should have scored late in the second half when he headed wide from close range.

威廉姆斯本应该在比赛前半段取得进球，他获得了直面库尔图瓦的单刀良机，结果却一脚趟大。同样，努涅斯在下半场后半段应该得分，但他近在咫尺的头球攻门擦着立柱偏出。

only to：结果却

head wide：头球偏出

Athletic Club did more than enough and created more than enough clear-cut opportunities to not only draw this game, but to win it. That should set the alarm bells ringing for Carlo Ancelotti, despite the win.

毕尔巴鄂竞技做得足够好，创造了足够多的绝对良机，他们不仅可以扳平比分，而且有能力赢下比赛。，尽管胜者是皇马，但这场比赛该为安切洛蒂敲响了警钟。

clear-cut：轮廓鲜明的、清晰的

set the alarm bells ringing：敲响警钟

draw：名词动作都可以做，表示“扳平、平局”

Questions have already been asked of the Italian over resting key players amid heavy reliance on the midfield and forward players, in particular. The tiredness is starting to show, and Courtois himself admitted as much after the game.

已经有了对安帅的质疑声，尤其是在严重依赖个别中场和前锋的情况下，是否应该让他们轮休。球队疲态开始显现，库尔图瓦赛后也承认了这一点。

It seems as though Ancelotti is hoping to get to the winter break without resting many of his key players, but Real Madrid are not going to get away with performances like this in the long-term.

在冬歇期前，安切洛蒂似乎并不会轮休阵中关键球员，那么皇马将在很长一段时间都不会摆脱今天这样的表现。

Benzema puts Real Madrid ahead. They were outworked by Athletic Club in many phases of play, and we might just see a scenario where Ancelotti is forced to rest players earlier than he intended to.

本泽马带领皇马前进。这场比赛很多时候，他们的表现被客队比了下去。我们以后可能会看到，安切洛蒂被迫让球员们提前休息。

Although, it is going to be difficult to do that this weekend with another tough clash coming up, away to Real Sociedad. Of course, the bottom line is that Real Madrid got three points against Athletic Club, and it is indeed a positive sign when you are picking up wins without playing particularly well.

尽管如此，这会是一个艰难的周末，因为皇马即将客战皇家社会，届时会是一场苦战。当然最重要的是，皇马从毕巴身上取得三分，当你表现并没有特别好，却赢得了胜利时，这确实是一个积极信号。

tough clash：理解成硬仗即可，tough：艰难的；clash：碰撞

the bottom line：底线、最重要的是

He might just have to take notice to keep, not only this winning run, but this La Liga dominance going in the long run, with plenty of the season still to play.

安切洛蒂可能会意识到：球队不仅要保持连胜，还要在西甲长期拥有统治力，毕竟这个赛季还有很多比赛要打。
