中文: 阿根廷國家足球隊的「前鋒」(9號球衣)承載著巨大的歷史壓力,此前曾由加布里埃爾·巴提斯圖達和埃爾南·克雷斯波等傳奇球星披掛上陣。勞塔羅的低潮以及隨後在美洲國家盃和世界盃上的救贖,反映了阿根廷足球所面臨的強大媒體輿論壓力與舉國狂熱。

中文: 在足球運動中,此處的「tournament」(錦標賽)指的是國際足協世界盃,這是最具聲望的國際足球賽事。前鋒的表現很大程度上取決於他們「進球」(score goals)的能力,在如此重大的賽事中「一球未進」(single goal)往往會引來媒體的嚴厲批評,正如勞塔羅在2022年所經歷的那樣。
EN: The passive voice is formed using 'be + past participle' (was criticized). It is used here to shift the focus from the doer of the action (the media) to the person receiving the action (he/Lautaro). The agent of the action is introduced with the preposition 'by'.
中文: 被動語態(Passive Voice)由「be 動詞 + 過去分詞」構成(本句中為 was criticized)。這裡使用被動語態是為了將焦點從動作的執行者(媒體)轉移到動作的承受者(他/勞塔羅)身上。執行動作的主體則由介系詞「by」引導。
The young player was praised by the coach after the match.
這名年輕球員在比賽後受到了教練的讚揚。

中文: 在職業足球中,「先發位置」(或進入「先發十一人」名單)具有極高的榮譽且競爭激烈。因狀態下滑而失去先發位置,特別是在世界盃等大型賽事期間,往往會引來體育媒體和球迷極其嚴苛的審視與批評。
