原标题:Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick rescues Manchester United after Harry Maguire's slip against Spurs(节选)
原平台:The Telegraph
原作者:Sam Wallace
A hat-trick to win it for Manchester United in a game crucial to their hopes of a top four place, and a performance that once again suggested they are lost in this interim identity crisis. They do not play as a coherent force over the course of the game in a way that even Tottenham Hotspur have learned to do under Antonio Conte, but they are still able to thrive in the key moments and no-one seizes them quite like Ronaldo.
在这场曼联保留争四希望至关重要的比赛中,他们用一个帽子戏法拿下了胜利。而他们的表现仍旧表明,他们还是迷失在过渡时期的身份危机中。他们在比赛过程中并没有体现出凝聚力,而(他们的对手)热刺甚至已经能在孔蒂治下达到这种效果。但曼联仍然能够在关键时刻焕发生机,因为没人能像C罗那样抓住它们。
interim:临时的,在过渡时期的。Interim is used to describe something that is intended to be used until something permanent is done or established.
identity crisis:身份危机。If you say that someone or something is having an identity crisis, you mean that it is not clear what kind of person or thing they are, or what kind of person or thing they would like to be.
coherent:连贯的。If something is coherent, it is well planned, so that it is clear and sensible and all its parts go well with each other. 这里coherent force翻译成了凝聚力。
His winning goal was one of the classics, a great driving run through the penalty box traffic to get his head to a corner. The bruising Spurs centre-half Cristian Romero, who had played his part in the goal with which Spurs had levelled the game, was moved out of position and in came Ronaldo for the kill.
C罗的制胜球是一粒一流的进球。他以一记强力冲刺,穿过禁区内的人群,争到头球,将球顶入死角。受伤的热刺中卫克里斯蒂安-罗梅罗在为热刺扳平比分的进球中发挥了作用,但此刻他被带出了防守位置。C罗得以赶上,完成了进球。
driving run:这里指强劲的奔跑,强力冲刺
traffic:这里指(禁区里的)人流。Traffic refers to the people and goods that are being transported.
bruising:受伤的,受瘀伤的。If someone has bruising on their body, they have bruises on it.
out of position:不在适当的位置,失位。
This was the 49th hat-trick of his club career, three more goals to throw on the pile and perhaps more poignant for the knowledge that these days are running out now in the dusk of his career. He strutted off with seven minutes left and Old Trafford in raptures, the face betraying no emotion but doubtless all the old certainties he has about himself reaffirmed.
这是C罗在俱乐部职业生涯中的第49个帽子戏法,和3粒新的进球,但也许更令人心酸的是,现在他已经接近他职业生涯的黄昏了。在比赛还剩7分钟的时候,他昂首离开球场,接受老特拉福德观众们的热烈欢呼。C罗的脸上没有流露出任何情绪,但毫无疑问,他对自己过去的一切肯定都已了然于心。
poignant:辛酸的。Something that is poignant affects you deeply and makes you feel sadness or regret.
strut:趾高气扬地走。Someone who struts walks in a proud way, with their head held high and their chest out, as if they are very important.
rapture:狂喜,热烈欢呼。Rapture is a feeling of extreme happiness or pleasure.
reaffirm:再肯定,重申。If you reaffirm something, you state it again clearly and firmly.这里如果译作“再肯定”,与前面的“certainties”有点重复,故译作了“了然于心”。
A lean time since the turn of the year for the great goal-accumulator, who now stands as the most prolific of all time. His third on the evening was the 806th of his senior professional career which placed him ahead of Josef Bican, a 1930s Austrian-Czech goalscoring wonder.
这位伟大的进球机器自今年以来正处于一段艰难时期,但他现在已经是有史以来进球最多的球员。他当晚的第三粒进球是他职业生涯的第806粒进球(注1),这也使他领先于比坎,后者是20世纪30年代奥地利-捷克双重国籍的进球奇才。
accumulator:积累者,蓄电池。
prolific:(作家、艺术家或作曲家)多产的。A prolific writer, artist, or composer produces a large number of works.
注1:这里原文为806球,但普遍认为是807球,可能是不同的统计标准有误差。
Just one goal in 10 for Ronaldo before this game, and the usual tells in his game that he was struggling with what that might mean for his own sense of self. He may also have been battling his dismay at the shortcomings of this United team, often unimaginative and dragged back to 2-2 with an own goal from their embattled captain Harry Maguire.
在这场比赛之前,c罗在10场比赛中只打入了1粒进球,从他在比赛中的表现可以看出,他在努力思考这对他自己的意义。他也可能一直在与自己对曼联缺点的沮丧作斗争,这支球队往往缺乏想象力,在本场比赛中,拙劣的队长马奎尔还用一记乌龙球将比分拉回2-2。
dismay:恐慌,悲伤,沮丧。Dismay is a strong feeling of fear, worry, or sadness that is caused by something unpleasant and unexpected.
embattled:问题缠身的,处于困境的。If you describe a person, group, or organization as embattled, you mean that they are having a lot of problems or difficulties.
