Young man came from hunting

　　年轻的猎人狩猎归来

　　Faint and weary

　　虚弱而又贫乏无力

　　What does ail my lord, my dearie

　　我最亲爱的你，是何物在折磨着我的上帝?

　　——出自歌曲《The Devil & the Huntsman》

　　歌曲《The Devil & the Huntsman》是去年C罗完成了欧冠改制后卫冕的空前之举后，天下足球为他和梅西两人所制作的特辑“绝代双骄”配的开场BGM。本届世界杯，他们两人在同一个夜晚，告别了他们的征程。一年之后的境遇，仿佛更是这首歌歌词最深刻的写照。

　　6月30日晚俄罗斯世界杯迎来淘汰赛，在梅西率领的阿根廷队输给法国之后，小启第一时间感觉到，命运如果没有让两人在世界杯上交手，只怕就只会让两人一同谢幕。卡塔尔，还能在见到他们吗?可能正是因为这个伟大的时代，造就了绝代双骄的景象，于是它不再需要一个上世纪才有的球王称号。

　　双骄在世界杯谢幕了，我们的英语学习仍在继续。今天的启德考培将带您看看外媒是如何报道这个新闻，并且学习相关英语表达。

　　一、梅西和c罗hit the headlines

　　1.纽约时报(New York Times): Messi Exits the World Cup. Hours Later, So Does Ronaldo.

　　2.华盛顿邮报(The Washington Post): Messi and Ronaldo won't be defined by World Cup failures, but they couldn't win one alone

　　3.路透社(Reuters): Headline acts Messi and Ronaldo bid farewell to World Cup

　　4.美联社(The Associated Press): Messi and Ronaldo Exit World Cup Without Titles

　　你最喜欢哪个标题呢?下面我们来看看相关报道!

　　二、外媒报道的梅西和c罗

　　First, Lionel Messi. Then, Cristiano Ronaldo.

　　先是梅西所在的阿根廷被淘汰，几个小时后，是C罗的葡萄牙。

　　In a matter of hours Saturday, soccer's biggest names were knocked out of the World Cup, ousted by better opponents and overshadowed by players of immense ability.

　　*in a matter of hours: 这里的matter指的是“大约，左右(表示数量或时间之少)

　　*oust: to force someone to leave a position of power, job, place, or competition 将…赶下台，罢免，废黜;赶走;淘汰

　　具体比赛比分，法国4:3战胜阿根廷，葡萄牙2:1负乌拉圭：

　　Messi's Argentina lost 4-3 to France and hours later Ronaldo's Portugal went down 2-1 to Uruguay, leaving the tournament without its two best known and most loved players.

　　两位巨星的年龄，梅西31，C罗33了：

　　Given their ages - Messi is 31 and Ronaldo 33 - this could be the last the world sees of the pair, who have monopolized the world player of the year award for the last 10 years, on the biggest stage of all.

　　我们再来看看美联社队梅西失落之情的刻画，眼神，双臂，脸庞，胡子…极具画面感：

　　Lionel Messi stared, hands on hips, pain etched across a face once boyish and filled with limitless joy, now obscured by a brown beard and hardened by expectations for his nation unmet.

　　而1530千米之外的C罗，同样的，面对比分落后的失落，心中的怒火燃向了裁判的判罚：

　　Four hours later and 950 miles (1,530 kilometers) away, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were wide in anger as he shouted in protest just ahead of the final whistle, once again arguing with a referee. The tirade got Ronaldo a second yellow card that would have suspended him for the next match. No worries, Portugal's World Cup ended with a loss.

　　*tirade: 本意是是“长篇抨击性演说”(a long, angry speech expressing strong disapproval)，这里可以理解为C罗不满裁判判罚的怒吼。
