[시사영어 2023-08-04] 월드컵/ 독일, 한국과 비겨 16강 진출 좌절

South Korea Sends Germany Out, Letting Morocco Move On

 

한국이 독일을 

 

Germany will of course have known the math: A win was all that was required to ensure passage to the round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup.

독일은 당연히 알았을 것이다 계산법을 / 한번의 승리가 모든것이다. / 16강 진출 하는거

 

passage = 통로, 복도, (책의) 구절, (법안의) 통과, (시간의) 흐름

 

But Canada had known the math, too, and went out anyway. So did Brazil and New Zealand and Portugal, all gone for the want of a single precious goal that never came.

캐나다도 이 계산법을 알았다. 탈락했다 어쨋든. 브라질과, 뉴질랜드, 포루투칼도 마찬가지다.  모두가 떠낫다 / 단 하나의 소중한 골 때문에 / 켤코 오지 않은,

 

anyway = 게다가, 어쨋든, 그런데, 그건그렇고

precious  = 귀중한, 소중한

Yet a World Cup that has had some improbable moments got perhaps its biggest stunner so far on Thursday: Germany, the second-ranked team in the world, is out after the strangest finish to the group stage in its history.

그러나 월드컵 / 있으 수 없

 

improbable = 사실 같지 않은, 희한한, 별난

stunner = 놀라운 것(일), 굉장한 미인, 굉장히 매력적인 것

strange = 이상한, 낯선

 

 

South Korea, a team that was effectively eliminated before the match even kicked off, a team that had not scored a goal before in the tournament before Thursday, took an early lead and then held on for a tenacious, improbable, almost unthinkable 1-1 tie with Germany. That result was not good enough for the Germans only because Morocco, another unlikely contender, beat Colombia, 1-0.

 

Germans  = 독일인

effectively = 효과적으로, 사실상

tenacious = 집요한, 완강한, (예상보다 더) 오래 계속되는

unlikely = ~할 것 같지 않은, 예상 밖의, 믿기 힘든

contender = 도전자

Germany had always made it out of the group stage, and had always advanced beyond the round of 16 to reach at least

the quarterfinals, a stretch that has now ended in its ninth World Cup, the ninth Women’s World Cup.

연승진출이 지금 끝났다 / 9번째 여자 월드컵에서

 

stretch = 늘이다, 늘어지다, (얼마동안 계속되는) 기간/시간, 펄쳐져 있는 지역/구간

group stage = 32강전

quarterfinals = 준준결승
