巴西巫毒师对德国队下咒

　　2014年巴西世界杯4分之一决赛已经落下大幕，人们在等待半决赛的到来。不过这期间依然发生着许许多多关于世界杯的新闻，新东方在线小编特意为大家整理了最新的世界杯新闻，希望对各位球迷有所帮助!

　　Yep, black magic enthusiast, Helio Sillman, says that he has placed a curse on Joachim Low’s Germany. “I’ll take their top player and bind his legs so he can’t run on the pitch,” said Sillman.

　　据福克斯体育7月7日报道，巫术爱好者赫利奥·希尔曼透露，他已经给勒夫率领的德国队下了道诅咒。“我将锁定德国队的核心球员，施展巫术缚住他的双腿，让他无法在球场上奔袭。”希尔曼说。

　　Yikes!

　　天哪!

　　Of course, this naturally will lead to speculation as to who Sillman has cursed in particular. Could it be keeper Manuel Neuer, whose box-to-box rushes would be rendered useless? Or perhaps it’s Thomas Muller, the team’s current top goal-scorer at the World Cup? Or maybe Miroslav Klose, whose chasing the overall World Cup goal-record?

　　当然，这自然会引起人们的猜测：希尔曼特别“关照”的球员究竟是谁?会是门将诺伊尔吗?若真如此，他的出击型救险是否会失灵?或是目前队内的射手王穆勒?又或是世界杯进球数追平记录的克洛泽?

　　We’ll find out on Tuesday. As it happens, Sillman actually carries out a ritual before every Selecao game. By placing lit candles inside a small football pitch replica box, he uses a voodoo doll of the opposing team’s best player to curse them.

　　周二晚间，这一切就将见分晓。碰巧的是，桑巴军团每场比赛之前，希尔曼都会举行一种仪式。他将数支蜡烛点燃，放入小型足球场模型中，然后利用代表对方最佳球员的巫毒娃娃下咒。

　　It almost didn’t work in the quarterfinals, though. Colombia hero James Rodriguez nearly sank the Brazilians, but they clung on to defeat Los Cafeteros 2-1 last Friday.

　　然而，这招在四分之一决赛没能成功。上周五，哥伦比亚英雄J罗(James Rodriguez)的进攻差点得手，不过，巴西人最终坚持到了最后，以2比1将“咖啡种植户”送回了家。

　　Needless to say, Neymar, wasn’t saved by Sillman’s black magic, either, with his tournament-ending injury after breaking his back vertebra. To his credit, Sillman is claiming the victories over Cameroon, Chile, Croatia and Mexico as down to his voodoo skills.

　　毋庸置疑，希尔曼的巫术没能挽救内马尔，脊椎骨骨裂的重伤导致他将无缘余赛。但希尔曼声称，巴西人能横扫喀麦隆、智利、克罗地亚和墨西哥等强队，都要归功于他的高明巫术。

　　If Germany are the next victims of Brazil’s magical run, we’ll know exactly who to thank or blame.

　　如果德国队栽在巴西人的巫术上，我们就会知道该拜谁所“赐”了。
