FIFA has confirmed the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar will take place on Sunday, December 18. 国际足联已经确认，2022年卡塔尔世界杯的总决赛将在12月18号举行，这一天是星期天。 It comes after a FIFA taskforce recommended last month the tournament should be switched from summer to winter to avoid the searing heat of the Gulf in June and July, where temperatures can exceed 40C. 上个月，国际足联特别工作组建议将比赛日期从夏季改为冬季。这样做能够避开海湾地区六七月份的高温天气，这个时间段的气温能超过40摄氏度。 The decision to hold the first ever winter World Cup was taken more than four years after the most controversial award of a sporting event in history. 继史上最具争议的卡塔尔获得主办权后，关于是否举办冬季世界杯的争论已经超过了四年。 Confirming the date for the 2022 World Cup final, Walter De Gregorio, FIFA's director of communications, said: 'This is for us an important step. 国际足联通讯主管沃尔特•德•格雷格里奥表示，“对于我们而言，这是非常重要的一步。” 'Finally we know the end of the tournament. It's a Sunday and, by the way, it's the national day inQatar, so it fits perfectly.' “我们终于知道比赛何时结束了，那天是星期天，恰好是卡塔尔的国庆日，相得益彰。” |
