马塔周记：向科比致敬

马塔周记，每周一期。有了马塔蜀黍，麻麻再也不用担心我的英语了。

小伙伴们，大家好。本赛季就快要结束了，各项赛事的冠军归属也快浮出水面了。这其中就包括足总杯，我们想成为这项赛事的冠军。正如大家所知道的，上周三我们击败了西汉姆联，这样我们周六将在温布利参加半决赛。在这个复杂的赛季中，我们还能在足总杯中继续前进。我们都为这项世上绝无仅有的赛事感到兴奋，温布利大球场和那里的氛围会让你感受到历史的厚重感。我们有决心，本赛季一定要在温布利踢两场比赛。

Hi everyone.The end of the season approaches and all the competitions are now selecting their possible winners. Among them is the FA Cup and that’s where we want to be: lifting this historic trophy. As you know, last Wednesday we defeated West Ham so we will play the semis in Wembley the next Saturday. In this complex season we have managed to advance in the FA Cup and now we are very excited with this unique competition that has no equal in the world, with a stadium and atmosphere that make you feel the weight of history. We are determined to step on Wembley twice this season.

然而，在足总杯对阵埃弗顿的半决赛前，我们必须关注周三对阵水晶宫的英超联赛。我们的目标是进军下赛季的欧冠，现在我们想要的就是赢下每一场比赛。我们将在主场作战，我们要在我们的球迷面前奉献一场精彩的比赛。我们深知自己可以依靠老特拉福德的球迷们，这会给我们额外的力量。尽管水晶宫在酋长球场逼平了阿森纳，尽管这场比赛会很艰难，但是有了魔迷们的支持，相信我们会距离胜利更近。

However, before Everton and the FA Cup we have to focus on the Premier League game against Crystal Palace this coming Wednesday. Our goal is to play the Champions League the next season and all we think about right now is to win every single game. We play at home and we want to have a good game in front of our fans; we know that we can count on Old Trafford to have an extra energy. With the crowd’s support we can be closer to the victory although Palace got a draw at the Emirates this weekend and it’s not going to be an easy game for us.

在战胜了维拉之后，我们能带着一个好状态来备战接下来的两场比赛。对我们来说过去的一周充满了积极的意义，这能让我们在接下来的比赛中保持一个好的势头。维拉是一支历史悠久的球队，他们获得过欧冠冠军。在英国足球历史上，他们是一支有着优良传统的球队。很明显，他们不是因为输给我们才降级的，他们是因为之前的33场比赛而降级的。然而，在击败了对手之后，看着同行们降级的感觉并不好。现场去亲身经历这种事情的感觉很苦涩，相信我，因为我以前经历过。

We are in good spirits ahead of these two games after the win against Aston Villa. The last week was very positive for us and it should help the team to gather momentum for the last few games. Villa is a historic team, they won the European Cup and have a long tradition in English football. Obviously they haven’t been relegated only for the last defeat but for all the previous 33 games; however, it’s not nice to see other colleagues in this situation after a defeat against your team. It’s something tough to experience in first person. I can tell you this because I’ve been there before.

在西班牙，由于巴萨没能在四月延续他们的好状态，冠军之争变得更加有趣了。现在皇马受到了鼓舞，他们在赫塔菲战胜了对手，向前两名继续施压。马竞击败了格拉纳达，目前来看，整支球队和托雷斯个人的状态都很不错。在这之后，巴萨在诺坎普输给了巴伦西亚。客队进行了一场非常完整的比赛，他们的胜利延续了巴萨的不胜记录，并让冠军争夺变得更加激烈。我希望我的前队友们可以在本赛季有一个好的结局，在经历了一个复杂的赛季之后，巴伦西亚球迷终于看到了曙光。这是他们应得的。

In Spain, the fight for the title is getting interesting since Barcelona could not extend to April their great moment. Real Madrid are encouraged now; they won in Getafe and put pressure on the top two. Atlético beat Granada and both the team and Fernando Torres are in a good streak at this moment. Later on Barcelona lost to Valencia in the Camp Nou. The visitors had a very complete game and grabbed the three points to extend Barça’s bad streak and make things very tight on top of the table. I hope my former team-mates have a good end of the season and Valencia supporters are left with a better taste after a very complicated year. They deserve it.

除了足球，我还想向科比表达我的敬意。大家都知道，我很喜欢篮球，过去20年，我把许多辗转反侧的夜晚都奉献给了科比的比赛。他的优雅和他美如画的触球使他成为了一名特殊的运动员。谢谢他带给我们的一切，希望他在篮球场下的新舞台上一切都好。

Aside from football, today I’d like to publicly express my admiration for Kobe Bryant. As you know, I like basketball and I’ve spent many nights over the last 20 years enjoying his game, his elegance and that touch that have made of him a special sportsman. I want to thank him for everything and I wish him the best in this new stage, off the basketball court.

周日，纳达尔击败了孟菲尔斯，获得了蒙特卡洛大师赛的冠军。他也向我们证明了，传奇永不放弃。对我们所有人来说，纳达尔这种对于提高的渴望是值得我们学习的。他也证明了，在体育世界，只要你永不放弃，那么你总会得到机会。恭喜他。

And Rafael Nadal won in Monte Carlo this Sunday against Monfils, proving that sports legends never give up. Rafa’s desire to improve is an example to us all: he shows that you have to keep fighting, in sports there’s always a rematch. Congratulations!

再一次，我想向在Youtube上订阅我频道的小伙伴们表示感谢。我鼓励大家继续发给我关于“我热爱的足球五件事”那个视频的评论。抱抱，娟儿。

PS:我想向厄瓜多尔的人民送去我的支持和拥抱，过去几个小时，可怕的地震震动了这个国家，我与受害者们在一起。

PS: I’d like to send all my support and a big hug to the people of Ecuador and my solidarity with the victims of the terrible earthquakes that shook the country in the last few hours.
