2022年11月30日 VOA慢速英語：世界杯美國隊戰(zhàn)勝伊朗，繼續(xù)下一階段的比賽

 

The United States soccer team defeated Iran and will continue to the elimination stage of the World Cup in Qatar.
美國隊擊敗伊朗隊，將繼續(xù)進入卡塔爾世界杯的淘汰賽階段。
 
The team needed a win on Tuesday to continue in the competition. The U.S. will play the Netherlands on Saturday.
球隊需要在周二獲勝才能繼續(xù)比賽。美國隊將于周六對陣荷蘭隊。
 
The Americans made up for a loss to Iran at the 1998 World Cup because of a first-half goal from Christian Pulisic.
1998年世界杯，美國隊因克里斯蒂安·普利西奇(Christian Pulisic)上半場的進球，彌補了對伊朗隊的失利。
 
The American team did not qualify for the World Cup in 2018 but this time finished second behind England in Group B. Iran needed only a tie to continue in the competition.
2018年美國隊無緣世界杯，但這次獲得亞軍在 B 組中落后于英格蘭。伊朗只需要平局即可繼續(xù)參加比賽。
 
Pulisic was injured in a collision with the Iranian goalie just before the ball crossed the goal line. He stayed in the game after receiving medical help but did not come back after halftime.
就在球越過球門線之前，普利西奇在與伊朗守門員的碰撞中受傷。
 
Pulisic is a member of the Chelsea team in the English Premier League, Britain's top professional soccer group. It was his first World Cup goal.
普利西奇在接受醫(yī)療救助后留在了比賽中，但半場結束后沒有回來。
 
In the second half, the Americans held off Iran's push. With minutes to play, Iran came close to scoring. The U.S. defender Walker Zimmerman cleared a loose ball in front of the net as Mehdi Taremi of Iran argued that he had been pulled down.
下半場，美國人擋住了伊朗的推進。比賽還剩幾分鐘，伊朗差點進球。美國后衛(wèi)沃克齊默爾曼在網(wǎng)前將一個松散的球解圍，伊朗的邁赫迪塔雷米爭辯說他被拉倒了。
 
The U.S. team is the second youngest in the World Cup behind Ghana. Tim Weah said, "No one believed the U.S. could play good football." Weah is 22 and the son of George Weah, a former top soccer player and current president of Liberia.
美國隊是世界杯上僅次于加納隊的第二年輕球隊。蒂姆維阿說，“沒有人相信美國可以踢出好足球。”維阿現(xiàn)年 22 歲，是前頂級足球運動員、利比里亞現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)喬治·維阿的兒子。
 
Weah scored a goal in the U.S. team's opening tie against Wales and nearly scored on Tuesday. His goal was called back, however, as he was judged to be offside.
維阿在美國隊對陣威爾士的首場比賽中打入一球，并在周二險些進球。然而，他的進球被吹回，因為他被判越位。
 
Iran's players hoped for a different result. The country has never gotten farther than the group stage.
伊朗球員希望得到不同的結果。這個國家從來沒有超過小組賽階段。
 
"I hope that our fans and our people in Iran forgive us. I am just sorry," Taremi said.
“我希望我們的球迷和伊朗人民原諒我們。我只是很抱歉，”塔雷米說。
