球迷迎四星德国凯旋

Germany's footballers have paraded the World Cup trophy to hundreds of thousands of jubilant supporters in Berlin. Half a million people lined the streets close to the iconic Brandenburg Gate to welcome the victorious team home. The BBC's Steve Evans was there to witness it and says the fact that this was the first time a unified Germany won the trophy made the occasion extra-special.
在柏林，德国队球员手棒大力神杯向成千上万欢欣鼓舞的球迷们致意。50万人排在标志性建筑物勃兰登堡门的街道两侧，欢迎他们的球队凯旋归来。BBC记者史蒂夫•埃文斯就在现场。他说这是德国统一以后首次获得得大力神杯，这使得这次夺冠格外有意义。

It is resonating. There's absolutely no doubt about that. And if you, and if you look at some of the portrait papers, they are making grand theories about how, this established Germany as a, as a first great nation if you like, in other words, that the football has spilled over from the pitch and is affecting politics. But I have to say, if you talk to the fans and put that theory to them, they'll look at you like you come from Mars, you know. It's not the way they see it. They say it's about the football; this is the first time we've won the World Cup in a united Germany, sure, but it's just a great feeling. Our team won and we are celebrating. That's the way they see it.
这确实很能引起共鸣，毫无疑问。有的报纸在歌颂统一后的德国是一个多么伟大的国家。换句话说，足球已经不仅限于足球，并开始影响政治。但我想提的是，如果你跟球迷提起这套理论，把理论用在他们身上，他们会像看火星人一样看你。他们并不这样认为。他们说足球就只是足球，虽然这是德国统一后的第一个世界冠军，但他们只是因为获胜而高兴。我们的队伍赢了，所以我们庆祝。这才是他们看待这件事的方式。
