中文: 在世界杯等大型足球赛事中,「季军争夺战」(third-place match,常被称为季军赛)是由两支在半决赛中落败的队伍进行对决。虽然有些人批评这是一场意义不大的表演赛,但它往往会产生高比分、极具观赏性且「疯狂」的比赛,因为双方球队在没有夺冠压力的情况下,战术包袱较少,踢得更为开放。

EN: In English sports terminology, scores are often expressed as 'six-four' (6-4). When translating to Traditional Chinese, the losing score is usually placed second in the context of a defeat, so 'lost six-four' is translated as '以四比六落敗' to sound natural to native speakers.
中文: 在英文体育术语中,比分通常直接读作「six-four」(6-4)。在翻译成简体中文时,若提及「输球」,中文习惯将输球方的分数放在后面,因此「lost six-four」会自然地翻译为「以四比六落败」,以符合中文使用者的语言习惯。

中文: 在职业足球中,像登贝莱这样的球员经常面临公众和媒体的严厉审视。「silenced his critics」(让批评者闭嘴)是体育界常用的成语,用来形容运动员以极其出色的表现证明质疑者是错的。然而,足球是一项团队运动,正如上下文所示,个人的杰出表现(即使上演帽子戏法或获得金球奖)往往「不足以」确保世界杯等团队荣誉。
