歐洲盃: 足球也脫歐 冰島2 1英格蘭

England's failed footballers will return home after the country's most humiliating defeat in its history made them a worldwide laughing stock.
英格蘭足球隊經歷了其足球史上最恥辱的一次失敗，這成爲了衆所皆知的一大笑柄。其隊員將返回故土。

Roy Hodgson resigned minutes after an abject England crashed out of Euro 2016– humbled by tiny Iceland, the lowest ranked team left in the competition with a population of just 332,000.
在英格蘭隊遭遇慘痛淘汰止步2016歐洲盃不久後，羅伊·霍奇森辭職。將其擊敗的球隊來自人口僅有33.2萬的小國冰島。冰島隊的參賽排名最低。

Today the team's 'lucky' lion mascot Leo was shoved under suitcases and then tossed into a lorry outside their Nice hotel after a showing legend Alan Shearer called 'the worst performance from an England team, ever'.
今天英格蘭足球隊的“幸運獅”利奧被塞進旅行箱，後又扔進球隊所住的尼斯賓館外的卡車裏。傳奇人物阿蘭·希勒稱該隊打了場它有史以來最差的一場比賽。

Hodgson, who was paid £3.5million a year, and his multi-millionaire ‘Three Lions’ side were beaten 2-1 in a new low for the national team in a major tournament.
霍奇森每年掙350萬英鎊。而在歐洲盃這場主要賽事中，他帶領的百萬“三獅隊”創下了球隊成績新低，以2-1的比分被擊敗。

The players were barracked by fans from the stands after paying a fortune to watch the team perform so badly in a major tournament.
看臺上的球迷發出一片噓聲。他們付重金，卻看了場表現如此渣的比賽。

The manager had quit immediately after the match in Nice, France, and said afterwards: 'I'm sorry it will have to end this way but these things happen'.
英格蘭球隊的經紀人在這場法國尼斯的比賽結束後立馬離開，而後稱：“我很抱歉事情竟會如此告一段落，但現實就是如此。”

England had taken a fourth-minute lead from a Wayne Rooney penalty, but held that advantage for little over a minute as defender Ragnar Sigurdsson equalised for Iceland.
比賽進行到4分鐘時，英格蘭憑韋恩·魯尼的罰球獲得一分。但這一分才保持了短短一分鐘，冰島的防守球員拉格納·西於爾茲鬆就進一球，把比分扳平。

Only 12 minutes later England were behind after goalkeeper Joe Hart – at fault for Gareth Bale’s goal for Wales earlier in the tournament – failed to keep out a shot from striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson in the 18th minute.
僅過了12分鐘，英格蘭隊便落後了。18分鐘時（冰島的）科爾貝恩·西格索爾鬆射入的一顆球，守門員喬·哈特沒能將其撲出。早先在對陣威爾士隊時，哈特也沒能守住，讓對方球員加雷斯·貝爾進了球。

But as the game went on England failed to cope with the pressure and Iceland looked the more likely to score before Hodgson's men crashed out.
但隨比賽的繼續，英格蘭沒能抵禦住壓力，冰島則看上去更有可能得分了。這時比賽結束。
這場以2-1結束的冰島與英格蘭間的對決，可謂幾家歡喜幾家愁。看這冰島球隊粉絲們的狂歡。
