    2017考研英语拓展阅读：2016欧洲杯葡萄牙生死战晋级
    A Zoltan Gera half-volley put Hungary in front but Ronaldo set up Nani to
fire in an equaliser before the break.
    格拉一脚弹射使得匈牙利暂时领先，但是后来C罗传球，纳尼打门，葡萄牙在中场休息前将比分扳平。
    Two deflected Balazs Dzsudzsak strikes twice restored Hungary’s lead early
in the second half, but a Ronaldo flick and header levelled on each
occasion.
    边翼球员巴拉斯·德祖兹萨克两次打门，使得匈牙利在下半场早早地便重新取得了优势，而葡萄牙方面C罗快速反击，两次头球解围，扳平比分。
    Hungary progress as Group F winners, with Portugal through in third
place.
    最终匈牙利以F组第一的身份晋级16强，而葡萄牙也以“最佳第三名”的资格进入到淘汰赛中。
    Portugal had been on course to play England in the last 16 as they occupied
second place in the group at the final whistle in Lyon, but it was Iceland who
claimed the runner-up spot with a dramatic injury-time winner against Austria in
Paris.
    本来按照预定，如果葡萄牙在里昂的最后一场比赛中能该组第二名的成绩出线的话，那么就将在淘汰赛中对阵英格兰。但最终的结果却是冰岛排名上升，成为F组第二名。在巴黎对阵奥地利的比赛中，冰岛在伤停补时阶段取得了巨大的胜利。
    Portugal, who would have crashed out had they lost to Hungary, have now
reached the knockout stage in all seven of their European Championship
appearances.
    假如葡萄牙输给了匈牙利，那么可能就将无缘本届欧洲杯16强，而现在葡萄牙顺利晋级到了淘汰赛(算上2016欧洲杯，葡萄牙一共参加过7次欧洲杯赛事)。
    Hungary, who were denied a winner when Adam Szalai’s shot hit the post,
will now play Belgium, who finished second in Group E.
    要不是斯扎莱射门打中了门柱的话，匈牙利应该已经打败葡萄牙成为本场比赛的胜者了，而接下来在淘汰赛中，匈牙利将对阵E组第二名的比利时队。
    Relief for Ronaldo
    C罗的救赎。
    Ronaldo appeared to be feeling the strain of not having scored at the
tournament when, during a team stroll ahead of the Hungary match, he grabbed the
microphone of a reporter and threw it into a river.
    C罗似乎感觉到了开赛至今没有进球的压力，在和匈牙利的比赛之前接受采访时，他抓过一个记者的话筒，扔到了河里。
    The 31-year-old came into the match with no goals from 20 attempts in the
first two matches - including a missed penalty against Austria - and cut a
forlorn and frustrated figure after Hungary took the lead through Gera’s superb
strike.
    在前两场比赛中，C罗有过20次进攻，但是却没有一次成功进球(包括对奥地利失误的点球)。在比赛中，匈牙利方面格拉以其高超的射门为球队取得领先，而C罗却显得有点孤独和沮丧。
    But the Real Madrid star set up Portugal’s equaliser when he played a
piercing ball for Nani to drive in a low shot which beat Gabor Kiraly at his
near post.
    但是C罗又重新振作了起来，他一脚穿刺传球给了纳尼，纳尼一脚低射从基拉利旁边的门柱穿过，打入了匈牙利的球门。
    And when Portugal twice fell behind to Dzsudzsak after the break, Ronaldo
responded by rediscovering his scoring prowess just when it was needed.
    比赛重新开始后，由于德祖兹萨克的进攻，匈牙利曾两度领先，而C罗则以自己高超的球技回应，总在需要之时进球，扳平了比分。
    His first goal - a deft flick from Joao Mario’s cross - made him the first
player to score in four different European Championship finals tournaments.
    利用马里奥的一脚秒传，C罗打进了本场比赛的第一粒进球，同时他也成为了第一个在四届欧洲杯决赛上进球的运动员。
    "A crazy game, we were out of the European Championship three times, and we
were always chasing the game," said Ronaldo.
    C罗说道：“真是一场令人疯狂的比赛!我们曾三次被排除在赛事之外，而我们一直在追寻着欧洲杯!”
    "It’s not every team that manages to beat Spain, so we respect them
[Croatia]. But we know our strength, we know our worth, and we’ll look them in
the eyes."
    “并不是每一支球队都能够击败西班牙，所以我们佩服克罗地亚。但是我们了解我们自身的实力，我们了解我们自身的价值，我们会好好注意他们的表现。”
