For some American fans, the World Cup is the be-all and end-all of international soccer. There is no close second. 对有些美国球迷来说，世界杯(World Cup)是首屈一指的国际足球赛事。其他赛事都远远不能与之相比。 Across the Atlantic, though, many fans, soccer writers and even some players have contended that the European championships, or Euros, which began on Friday, produce better soccer than the World Cup. 不过，在大西洋对岸，很多球迷、足球撰稿人、甚至球员都认为，周五开始的欧洲杯(the European championships)比世界杯更精彩。 |
