周二的世界杯小组赛沙特队爆冷以2-1胜了梅西的阿根廷队。阿根廷就差两场就能追平意大利的国际赛事连胜记录了,此前他们已经一连胜了35场比赛。请看本报昨日的报道: Saudi Arabia scored one of the biggest World Cup upsets ever by beating Lionel Messi’s Argentina 2-1 Tuesday. Before this game, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni’s men were undefeated in their past 35 games, a sequence that includes the 2021 Copa America final against Brazil. They were just two games shy of the record for the longest run of international matches without a defeat, currently held by Italy. Messi is playing in his fifth World Cup, having appeared on soccer’s biggest stage for the first time at the 2006 tournament in Germany. 报道中的shy of就是“差一点”,例如: Our current rent is just shy of US$1,500. If it goes any higher, I don’t know how we’ll be able to afford it. 现在我们的租金差一点就1500美元了,如果再涨,我不知道我们能不能负担得起。 |
