2021世界杯球队有趣英文绰号

BRAZIL： "CANARINHO" ("LITTLE CANARY")

巴西：金丝雀

Named for the squad's famously bright yellow kits. Other less popular

nicknames include the just-as-colorful "Verde-Amarela" ("The Green and Yellow"),

"Samba Kings" for the nearly-dancing footskills of the team's players, and the

boastful "Pentacampe es" ("The Five Time Champions," apparently a moniker

that's subject to change).

巴西的这个绰号来源于他们鲜黄色的球衣。其他不太知名的绰号还有：用颜色来代表

个称呼今年很有可能会发生变化哦）。

普及。

NETHERLANDS： "CLOCKWORK ORANGE"

荷兰：橙衣军团（发条橙）

The Dutch squads of the 1970s became known for their knack for precision

passing, winning them a nickname for their brand of Total Football, a pastiche on

the country's famous national color.

Journalist Tony Horstead coined the portmanteau of a nickname in 1967

while covering the team's goodwill tour to South Vietnam, borrowing the back

end of the name from one of Australia's best-known inhabitants.

Though an unlikely pairing at first glance, Greek sportscasters spawned the

name during a telecast of an upset victory against Portugal in the Euro 2004

tournament. The tournament's opening ceremony, hosted by Greece, flaunted a

pirate ship. Inspired, Greek color commentator Georgios Halakis said the team

had to "become pirates and steal the victory."

虽然第一眼看上去，这个绰号和希腊国家队并不相配，不过，这个绰号是希腊体育转

播员在转播2004年欧洲杯对阵葡萄牙的比赛时首次使用的。那场比赛中，希腊意外获胜。

Named thusly for the trio of lions present on England's national football team

for the lily native to Bosnia and Herzegovina, also appearing on the Bosnian coat-

of-arms.

NIGERIA： “SUPER EAGLES"

尼日利亚：非洲雄鹰

Erstwhile known as the "Green Eagles," the nickname comes from the eagle

of Cameroon in the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations final.

impressive victories in 1906 against France and the Netherlands — Belgium's

uniforms prominently feature red.

1906年，比利时在对阵法国和荷兰时取得胜利后，一位名叫皮埃尔 沃启尔的记者首

先使用了这个绰号，比利时队的球衣主体颜色是红色。

ALGERIA： “LES FENNECS" ("THE DESERT FOXES")

soccer conditions.) The titular fennec is a small, nocturnal fox native to Northern

Africa.

crimson team kit—the team's official supporters, started in 1995, banded

together as "The Red Devils."

太极（韩国国旗上的阴阳标识）是平衡的标识。因为球衣为红色，韩国队有时也被称

为“红队”。自1995年起，韩国队的官方支持团队开始称其为“红魔”。
