本赛季欧洲冠军联赛一直是巴塞罗那的避风港，因此俱乐部周二在乌克兰的客场比赛会让梅西留在西班牙休息。请看本报昨日的报道：

The Champions League has been Barcelona’s safe haven this season, so much so that the club will leave Lionel Messi at home for Tuesday’s match in Ukraine.

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is resting Messi and midfielder Frenkie de Jong for the game against Dynamo Kyiv, when the Catalan club can secure a spot in the knockout stage for the 17th straight season.

“Neither Leo nor Frenkie are traveling,” Koeman said Monday. “They need some rest. With nine points in our group, we are in a comfortable situation and we have to keep them fresh.”

报道中的safe haven就是“安全的地方、避风港”，例如：

While extremist groups continue to enjoy a safe haven in and around the northern city of Mosul, they will grow bolder.

当北部城市摩苏尔和附近地区成为极端组织的避风港，他们的胆子就会越来越大。
