2014年巴西世界杯将于当地时间6月12日揭开战幕,你准备好熬夜看球了吗?话说,看世界杯球赛要准备的可不仅是啤酒和零食,对各球队的绰号有所了解也是很必要的。不然,解说员一会儿说“红魔”,一会儿说“三狮军团”, 听不明白多着急啊。
BRAZIL: "CANARINHO" ("LITTLE CANARY")
巴西:金丝雀
Named for the squad's famously bright yellow kits. Other less popular nicknames include the just-as-colorful "Verde-Amarela" ("The Green and Yellow"), "Samba Kings" for the nearly-dancing footskills of the team's players, and the boastful "Pentacampeões" ("The Five Time Champions," apparently a moniker that's subject to change).
巴西的这个绰号来源于他们鲜黄色的球衣。其他不太知名的绰号还有:用颜色来代表的“黄绿军团”、代表巴西队足球技术的“桑巴之王”,以及稍显炫耀的“五星巴西”(这个称呼今年很有可能会发生变化哦)。
CROATIA: "VATRENI" ("THE BLAZERS")
克罗地亚:刀锋战士(这个起的真霸气)
Also known as Bilic's Boys as of late, deriving their second nickname from the surname of former head coach Slaven Bilic.
克罗地亚队后来也被称为“比利奇的孩子们”,这个绰号来源于他们的前任主教练斯拉文•比利奇。
CAMEROON: "LES LIONS INDOMPTABLES" ("THE INDOMITABLE LIONS")
喀麦隆:非洲雄狮
North Cameroon and North Nigeria split the Bénoué-Gumti lion conservation project, which seeks to preserve the region's lion population.
喀麦隆北部与尼日利亚北部分别管辖境内的狮子保护中心,该中心旨在维持该地区的狮子数量。
SPAIN: "LA FURIA ROJA" ("THE RED FURY")
西班牙:红色怒火
The Spanish side earned their most popular nickname in the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, where they won a silver medal and popularized the tiki-taka style of playing.
西班牙队的这个绰号是在1920年夏季奥运会上他们获得男足银牌后被叫开的,在那届奥运会上他们的tiki-taka战术(以精准短传为基础来追求极致控球的足球战术)得以普及。
