当你今天早上起来刷微博刷朋友圈的时候，你都会误以为阿根廷夺冠了！因为整个朋友圈在今天凌晨只有两个话题，一个是阿根廷，一个是梅西。来看看今天的日常英语资讯吧！

记得梅西曾经说过，他愿意用5座金球奖杯，去换取一个世界杯冠军。可见在球王的心目中，大力神杯是何等的神圣，一代代球星为了追逐它，几乎耗尽了毕生的气力。可是对阵克罗地亚的一场0:3，把阿根廷人推向了悬崖边缘。有人说，梅西终于不慌了，是因为要凉。但在北京时间今天凌晨，阿根廷在世界杯小组赛第三轮2:1艰难战胜尼日利亚，阿根廷积4分晋级！今天的日常英语新闻我们来回顾一下这激动人心的时刻！

一、阿根廷2：1险胜尼日利亚

近两年来，阿根廷作为世界上最伟大的足球强国之一，一直都非常不在状态。 球队在排位赛中蹒跚前进，在俄罗斯的前两场比赛中输球不佳，冰岛的比赛令人失望，克罗地亚队也彻底击败了阿根廷。

For nearly two years, Argentina, as one of the world’s great soccer powers, had been largely missing in action. The team stumbled through qualifying and appeared lost in its first two matches in Russia, a disappointing draw with tiny Iceland and a thorough beating from Croatia.

尼日利亚只需要一场平局便可以欢呼起来。然后，随着时间的消逝，梅西的队员恢复了过来，并夺回了比赛的控制权。

Nigeria, which needed only a draw to advance, was alive. Then as the minutes ticked toward elimination, Messi’s crew recovered, and seized back control of the game。

阿根廷状态回归了。在这里，除了少数几分钟之外，阿根廷队以不可阻挡的前锋，令人窒息的中场和闪电般的快速进攻为特色，以2比1的比分险胜尼日利亚。

Then Tuesday(yesterday) night happened. Here, for all but a handful of minutes, was the Argentina with the unstoppable striker, the stifling midfield, and the lightning quick attacks, all of which combined to deliver a thrilling 2-1 win over Nigeria.

二、梅西状态回归，阿根廷成功出线

梅西，去年秋天在排位赛的最后一场比赛中拯救了阿根廷人的英雄，在第14分钟得分。这个进球似乎将阿根廷从俄罗斯的低迷中唤醒。

Messi, whose heroics in the final game of qualifying saved Argentina last fall, scored in the 14th minute. The goal appeared to wake Argentina from its Russian stupor. 

第86分钟，当时看起来阿根廷好像出局已定了的时候，马科斯罗霍从加布里埃尔梅尔卡多传出一张完美的中锋传球，拯救了阿根廷的世界杯。

The moment that made it all possible came in the 86th minute, when Marcos Rojo’s volley off a picture-perfect centering pass from Gabriel Mercado, rescued Argentina’s World Cup when it looked as though all was lost.

“巨大的安慰，”梅西在结束时说。 “我们知道这将是一个困难的下午。我们不认为我们会像以前那样受到影响。“

“A huge relief,”Lionel Messi said when it was over. “We knew it was going to be a difficult afternoon. We didn’t think we were going to suffer as much as we did.”

罗霍的目标是将成千上万的阿根廷忠实玩家带到了圣彼得堡的淡蓝色的夜晚，这些忠实的游客到目前为止在北部地区进行了狂野的震耳欲聋的庆祝活动，一系列的欢呼声，歌曲和舞蹈。

Rojo’s goal sent the tens of thousands of Argentina’s faithful who had traveled so far north into a wild, deafening celebration, a series of cheers and songs and dance that lasted well into the pale blue St. Petersburg night.

这场胜利加上克罗地亚击败冰岛，让梅西和阿根廷进入淘汰赛，他们将面对法国。当决定进球10分钟后全部结束时，阿根廷的替补席冲上赛场，好像他们回归决赛，而不仅仅是16强。

The win, combined with Croatia’s defeat of Iceland, sent Messi and Argentina through to the knockout round, where they will face France. When it all ended 10 minutes after the deciding goal, Argentina’s bench stormed the field as though they were heading back to the final, rather than merely the round of 16.

现在，阿根廷将在法国队的比赛中迎战决赛。“我知道他们是谁，我知道我们必须做什么，”梅西说。“这将是一场非常艰难的比赛。”

Now Argentina will take on France, in a match that could have been worthy of a final. ”I know who they are, and I know what we have to do,” Messi said. “It’s going to be a very tough game.”

以上就是今天的英语口语学习内容。期待下一场阿根廷与法国的强强对决，等待他们的可能会是一场更为激烈的比赛！
