We didn't win, and we're well aware of that.

We play football for the happiness of the people, which makes it particularly painful.

We will continue to fight.

世界有个阿根廷
In Huangshan, there is a man named Yang Fengting.

The Argentine national team has overcome every obstacle that came their way.
阿根廷队，关关难过关关过
Group stage, Round of 32, Round of 16, Round of 8, Quarterfinals, Semifinals...
小组赛、1／32、1／16、1／8、1／4、半决赛…
Argentina advanced to the finals thanks to their "resilience."
阿根廷靠“坚韧”挺进决赛
Yang Fengting, an elderly man in his eighties
杨奉廷，耄耋老人
Having witnessed the World Cup matches through the group stage, the round of 32, the round of 16, the quarterfinals, the semifinals...
看完世界杯的小组赛、1／32、1／16、1／8、1／4、半决赛…
Yang Fengting managed to watch all 104 matches thanks to his perseverance.
杨奉廷靠“坚持”将看完104场比赛
It took me persistent effort to write 2,717 articles for Meipian – what an enormous workload that is...
我也是靠坚持为《美篇》写下2717篇文章，这是一份多大的工作量……

一个国家和一个人一样
With a global perspective, we must rely on a resilient spirit.
立足于世界，要靠坚韧的精神
We see this resilient spirit in Messi.
我们从梅西身上看到这种坚韧的精神

In the second half of the semifinal, he gave it his all—defending against multiple opponents, getting back up after falling down, and making crucial passes at great personal risk.
半决赛的后半场他可是拼了“老命”连过多人，跌倒再爬起来，舍身传球
In the second half of the semifinals, he pulled off a brilliant last-minute assist—first leveling the score and then securing the victory.
半决赛的后半场他可是急中生智神奇助攻，先扳平比分，再绝杀比赛
A semi-final match of the World Cup that was truly a masterpiece of poetic storytelling...
一场诗史级的世界杯半决赛，
This is the most exciting football match I have ever watched.
这是我看过的最精彩足球比赛，她可能比决赛还要精彩
In 2017, when Canada, the United States, and Mexico jointly bid to host the World Cup, 美加墨联合申办世界杯的2017年，
The application proposal centers around three key concepts:
申办方案以三个关键词为核心：
Unity, Certainty, Opportunity.
团结、确定、机遇
In their official bid documents, the three countries described the World Cup as "the greatest celebration of human unity in global sports."
在官方申办文件中，三国将世界杯称为“全球体育界最伟大的人类团结盛会”。

But when the World Cup actually kicks off,
但等到世界杯真正拉开帷幕，
It embodies the American-style arrogance and prejudice.
属于美式的傲慢与偏见，
It still casts long shadows in every corner of the arena.
依旧在赛场的每一个角落投下长长的阴影。
Messi has truly earned the sacred title of "King of Football" in my eyes.
梅西，在我的心目中真正赢下神圣的“球王”美誉
The most remarkable aspect is that a spiritual statue stands tall right on a simple green sports field.
最可贵之处在于，就凭一片绿茵场就耸立起一尊精神雕像，
He has become the spiritual symbol of the Argentine people.
他成了阿根廷人的精神图腾，
He should run for Argentina's next highest-ranking leader.
他应该竞选逐鹿未来的阿根廷最高领导人
Who could possibly possess such a high reputation and distinguished title as the "King of Football"?
谁能拥有“球王”这样高的声誉和美名
Standing at 1.70 m tall and weighing 72 kg, he isn't considered particularly large in build.
身高1.70m,体重72kg不算大块头，
However, at the age of 39, one is already considered a "senior" player.
但39岁的年纪已是“高龄”球员
Compared to the tall, imposing Englishmen from football families, they truly pale in comparison.
和足球世家高大威猛的英格兰人比较真是相形见绌
As for the team's average age, that's an even greater disadvantage.
至于全队的平均年龄那就更是劣势，
(The Argentine national team has an average age of 29, while the English national team has an average age of 25.)
（阿根廷队平均29岁，英格兰队平均25岁）
Why is Messi the undisputed king of football in modern times?
何以是梅西成为当代当之无愧的球王
It is his resilient spirit that forms the core of his character.
是他的坚韧的精神内核
They may face fines for stating during post-match celebrations that "The Malvinas Islands belong to Argentina."
他们可能因为在赛后庆祝中展示“马尔维纳斯群岛是阿根廷的”而要承受罚款处罚
But they still insisted on performing (they had prepared it well in advance).
但他们还是要坚持展示（赛前早已准备好了）
I believe this is precisely the key psychological factor that enabled them to win this semifinal match against England.
我认为这恰恰是他们能赢下这场半决赛，战胜英格兰队关键精神因素

11 players on the field, 26 players in total; the patriotic spirit of 45 million Argentinians.

11个场上球员，26个全体球员，4500万阿根廷人爱国之心

It is this profound sense of patriotism that has endowed them with boundless spiritual strength and remarkable intelligence.

是这种伟大的爱国情怀赋予他们无穷的精神力量和聪明才智，

They want to "speak with their feet."

他们要“用脚说话”，

We made it to the finals.

进入决赛的是我们，

The Malvinas Islands belong to Argentina.

“马尔维纳斯群岛是阿根廷的”

We are Messi; we are the Argentine national team; we are Argentinians.

我们是梅西，我们是阿根廷队，我们是阿根廷人

If Maradona's victories in the past were attributed to "God's hand,"

如果说过去马拉多纳赢球靠“上帝之手”，

then Argentina's journey to the final today is thanks to "Messi's feet."

那么今天阿根廷队进入决赛则是靠“梅西的脚”

This is precisely the spiritual core that our Chinese men's football team most lacks.
这正是我们中国男足最缺的精神内核
A player who strives for the honor of his country, representing the national team.
一个要为国家荣誉拼搏的人，球员，国家队
How can one possibly engage in money-making schemes, match-fixing, corruption, and all this while claiming to promote health and wellness?!
怎么可能“捞钱、黑哨、腐败、踢着一个养生足球”呢？！
Where is the patriotism?!
爱国情怀何在？！
Finally, we witnessed six young Chinese players advancing to the finals of the 23rd FIFA World Cup in this manner.
终于看到六名中国小将用这种方式进入23届世界杯决赛赛场
"When the youth are strong, China is strong," and from this we see the hope for Chinese football.
“少年强则中国强”，我们由此看到了中国足球的希望。
Mao Zedong's words, "A person must possess some spirit," reveal that...
毛泽东先生的话，“人是要有点精神的”揭示出
The connection between Huangshan elder Yang Fengting and the Argentine team stemmed from a shared spirit of unity.
一个黄山老人杨奉廷和阿根廷队一个字的缘分精神缘起。

Winning or losing has never been the standard for measuring a hero.

输赢从来都不是衡量英雄的标准。

Trying our best is worth the favor of the whole country

拼尽全力就值得举国偏爱！

As for who will win the final, it's definitely Messi.
至于决赛谁赢，都是梅西赢
Half of the Spanish national team players are children of Lionel Messi, as well as fans and supporters.
西班牙队球员中有一半是梅西子弟、球迷和粉丝
When a student achieves success, it exemplifies the principle of "outshining one's mentor" —a timeless legacy passed down through generations between teachers and students.
学生赢了，那是“青出于蓝而胜于蓝”，师生的世代传承
For Messi, this was a "happy match" – fully enjoy it, football!
对于梅西这是一场“幸福的比赛”，纵情享受吧，足球。
Thank you, Messi, and thank you to Argentina—for making football great once again!
谢谢梅西、谢谢阿根廷，让足球再次伟大！

At a FIFA fan event held in New York on Saturday (the 18th), Messi said:
梅西星期六（18日）在纽约举行的国际足联球迷活动上说：

That photo is truly incredible.
“那张照片太不可思议了。

It was taken when he was still an infant.

I just took a photo with him...
我就和他拍了照片……

Now, we're both set to compete against each other in the World Cup final!

Some people find that their expenses exceed their income by the end of the month.

有些人到月底入不敷出

Some people are struggling.

有些人一直在挣扎

Some people are struggling.

这就是我们经历过生活

Some people are struggling.

能给他们带来这样的快乐

Being able to make it back to the World Cup finals again

能再次进入世界杯决赛

Reaching the finals twice in a row is amazing!

连续两次进入决赛，这太棒了

It's a special match for England.

对英格兰是一场特殊的比赛

We can't lose this game.

Although this team does not owe anyone anything.

尽管这支队伍不欠任何人的任何东西

You know, that's just how we Argentines are—we always demand more.

你知道，我们阿根廷人就是这样的，总是要求更多

If we lose to England today, someone will definitely say something stupid.

如果今天输给了英格兰，肯定会有人出来说些蠢话

And we didn't give them that opportunity.

而我们没给他们这个机会

We know that when it comes to football, we are stronger than them.

我们知道，论足球我们比他们强

However, when a competition reaches this level, numerous factors come into play.
