为什么南非世界杯那么火(为什么世界杯让拉丁美洲人如此疯狂？)

致我最最最亲爱的中国朋友，

My Dear Chinese Friend,

这一天终于来了！我无法形容我此时此刻的心情，就连我在写这封“为什么世界杯让拉丁美洲人疯狂”的信的时候，我甚至都能感觉到我的肾上腺素在我手中疯狂涌动！我确确实实几个小时盯着闹钟就是为了等待开场的第一脚。我完全无法置信，还有几个小时我马上就能听见世界杯的第一声哨响！球会再次奔跑！球迷们会为他们的球队呐喊！主办国会冲进无数奇奇怪怪色彩斑斓但从头到尾散发着无比喜悦的人们！给我几分钟时间，我会试着用文字来把一些绝对不合理和美好的事情说给你听。

Finally the day arrived. I can feel the adrenaline running through my hands while I try to describe you what does a World Cup mean to a Latin American. I am literally counting down the hours to the initial kick. I cannot believe that in some hours I will be listening to that initial whistle. The ball will run again, the fans will be cheering up their teams, a new hosting country will be invaded by strange and colorful people radiating happiness. Give me some minutes and I will try to explain with words something that is absolutely irrational and beautiful.

1.世界杯不单单只是一个国际化的体育赛事单，他是划分我们生活阶段的周期性事件。我们不只是数着岁数长大的，还有我们生命中有多少场世界杯决赛。你的第一场世界杯是哪一届？94年的美国世界杯？98年的法国世界杯？2002年的日韩世界杯？就像中国的80后，90后，00后，以这种方式划分每代人。而我们的每代人都是由每届世界杯里的英雄与恶棍划分的。

The World cup is not just an international sport event, is cyclical event that divides our lives in stages. We count not only how old we are, but how many world cup finals we remember have watched in our lives. Which is your first world cup, USA 94? France 98? Corea Japan 2002? Generations are defined by the heroes and villains of each world cup.

你还记得马拉多纳的“上帝之手”吗

（86在墨西哥世界杯，1/4决赛阿根廷对阵英格兰的比赛上，马拉多纳用手把球攻入了英格兰队的球门，并且裁判判决进球有效）

Do you remember Maradona flying up to the sky and making a goal with his hand?

你还记得他像只优雅的羚羊一样躲过凶狠的英国中场和防守，连过五人进球封神吗？

Do you remember him escaping from fierce British midfielders and defenders like anelegant gazelle just to make the best goal ever in world cups? (Mexico 86).

你还记得每次罗纳尔多拿到球的时候对手脸上的无限绝望吗？（胖的那个，肥罗！）（98年法国世界杯）

Or do you remember the desolation face that was painted in the rivalry teams face everytime Ronaldo had the ball in his feet (The Real Ronaldo, The fat one!). (France98)

有比苏亚雷斯牺牲自己的手来挡球更拉美人的吗（2010年南非世界杯），你还记得他的哭声吗，我们一起痛哭，看到那个点球没进的时候，我们一起庆祝。

Is there something more Latino than the sacrifice the Pistolero Suarez did when he stopped a Ghanaian goal with his hand? (South Africa 2010) Do you remember ho whe cried? We cried and we celebrated together when that penalty was shoot outside.

2014年世界杯，哥伦比亚队进球的时候，每次你都和他们一起跳舞吗？

Did you dance with the Colombian team every time they scored a goal during the 2014 world cup?

你还记得詹姆斯的超绝一球吗？

Do you remember James outstanding goal??

2.世界杯是一个改变了拉美人行为习惯的平行空间

The world cup is a parallel dimension that changes the behavior of Latin Americans.

一个月间，拉美人突然变得特别准时，对待组织认真严格。如果我们因随时随地拥抱别人和迟到出名，那么在这四个礼拜，这一切都会有彻头彻尾的改变。现在没有时间做那些了，现在是世界杯！

During one month Latin Americans all of a sudden become punctual and really serious about organization. If we are known because of arriving late everywhere and embracing improvisation, it all changes during this four weeks. Now there is no room for that, It’s the World Cup.

我们快速创建不同小分队，各司其职，像钟表发条般完美有序。一队去买酒，一队去买做排骨汤，烤肉和肉馅卷饼的食材。一队负责冰，不管你是买，还是自己做，甚至去北极挖。我们不在乎！我们在乎的是冰啤酒！而关于食物，我们才不在乎到底是什么，但是量一定要特别大，要够那些饿死鬼出身的人吃，还要够那些不请自来，准备跟你一起过完下半辈子的人吃。

We quickly create different teams that cooperate as a perfect clockwork, one is in charge of buying the alcohol, another one buys everything what is needed to cook agood Sancocho, Asado or empanadas. And one team is in charge of getting ice anyhow,they can buy it, produce it, or even go to the artic pole to get it, but it has to be there. I don’t care how, but there should be ice in order to keep those beers cool. Regarding the food It doesn’t matter what’s the choice, but it has to be a lot. Should be enough for the guests, who will eat as if there is no tomorrow, and also for the unexpected friends guest who will arrive without knowing anyone and will leave with lifelong stories.

这项超级计划的第一步，就是选址。谁家又大又舒服？哪儿有超大屏幕的酒吧？球迷们都在哪集合？朋友的朋友的朋友的朋友在吃烧烤吗？啊？五十千米远吗？啊，那谁有车？？？我们会先投票决定，少数服从多数。

The first step of this master plan is to choose the place. Anyone has a big and cozy place? Anyone knows a nice bar with a huge screen where to watch it? Is there a place where the fans of a Latin American team will all gather? The friend of a friend of a friend in a city 50 km away is doing a nice bbq?? Then who has a car?!!. The discussion will be held in advance and will be decided by the vote of the majority.

世界杯足球比赛绝对不仅是一个90分钟的游戏，这是个持续一整天的活动，必须精心策划。让我们严肃对待！好好享受！

A world cup football match is not just a 90 minutes game, is an activity that will last a whole day and has to be planned carefully. Let’s be serious and have fun!

3.世界杯期间别的都不重要了吗？

工作？现在？一个月之后再喊我谢谢。世界杯期间，没有什么比比赛更重要的了！要是冰山要撞尼日利亚了，那我们得去看看，别的事儿别喊我们。我们得分析未来对局情况。每场比赛都无比重要！我们的时间要用在最重要的地方，像看大量录像研究各国战术，研究每个队伍的新新球员！！我们得研究每队的首发名单，知道他们的强项和弱点！

3.During the World Cup nothing else matters.

Work? Now? wait just one month please. During the world cup nothing is more important than a football match. If Iceland is playing Nigeria we have to watch it, we need to analyze future possible rivals. Every match is important! Our time is spend in important things, like watching a lot of videos to learn about the tactical issues of each country and to get to know the new young players of each team!!. We need to learn the starting eleven of each team and also their strong and weak points!.

我们一整天都要用来用来讨论，面对面或者微信群讨论，到底哪个队最强；哪个队能进入下一轮；谁会成为最佳球员；不是所有牛奶都叫特仑苏，但我们得知道哪个球队叫“特能输”；哪个队能夺冠，之类之类永无止境的话题！！

Our whole day will be spend discussing, face to face or in wechatgroups, about which are the best teams, who will make it to the second round,who will be the best player, which team will be a deception, who will be theWorld Champion, and an endless range of topics!!

在我们国家，我们能放下工作一起看球，至少跟你的同事一起享受赛事。如果你老板不让你那么做，你那天最好请个病假去看球！如果你和任何拉美血统的人一起工作，你绝对不敢在世界杯期间给我们打电话发短信！所以如果你是有一群拉美裔员工的中国老板，你就别指望他们这个月能做出什么业绩了！这是传统！如果老板不让去看世界杯，我很多朋友都会认真严肃的考虑辞职的问题。

In our countries we usually are allowed to stop working and gather,at least with colleagues and enjoy your match. If your Boss doesn’t allow youso, then you better say you are sick and you avoid going to work that day! If you are doing business with any of us, don’t you dare calling us or writing us during a world cups match!. So if you are a Chinese Laoban with some LatinAmerican employees don’t expect them to have a productive month! Is cultural!. I have many friends that will seriously consider to quit their job if they are not allowed to watch the world cup.

4.像拉丁美洲人一样过世界杯

如果用一个词语形容我们，那就是激情。我们真的是激情洋溢热血澎湃的一群人。想喝酒就大口喝，想笑就放声大笑，畅所欲言，甚至吵架都要吵得爽！几乎很少有和拉美人见面是走安安静静小夜曲风的。无所谓什么话题：朋友，爱人，足球，八卦，等等，都会让你们没完没了的一直唠下去。最重要的不是谁是对的，而是谁能讲得赢！

Experience the World Cup like a Latin American

If there is one word that can describe us is passion. We are really passionate and warm blooded people. Any occasion is a perfect excuse to have a couple of drinks, to laugh at loud, to speak, to discuss vividly, to argue! Rarely a meeting with a Latin American will be a quite night. it doesn’t matter what is the topic: Friends, love, football, gossip, etc. It all will lead to a long discussion where the most important thing is not who is right, but who wins the discussion!.

所以我亲爱亲爱的中国朋友，我建议你找一个你最近的拉丁美洲的朋友，如果你没有拉丁美洲的朋友，你只要出门，你就会看到很多穿着世界杯队服的拉美人，特别骄傲的展示着自己T恤的颜色，脸，身体，真的，到处都是。来，跟我们说话吧！你能得到的唯一反应就是一个超大的微笑；一个温暖的拥抱；一起喝酒，还有和我们一起度过这个非比寻常，决定我们命运的盛事的邀请。

So my dear Chinese friend, I suggest you to find your nearest Latin American friend. And if you don’t have anyone, just go out, look around you and you will see many of us walking around with our world cup uniform, proudly showing our colors in our t shirt, face, body, everywhere. Come, talk to usbecause the only answer that you will have is a big smile, a warm hug and an invitation to drink something and join us in this very unique life-definingevent.

我们一起笑，一起哭，一起喝酒，一起听歌，一起跳舞！我们不能保证谁会是2018俄罗斯世界杯的冠军！但是我们能保证我们在一起会超级超级超级开心

Join us, laugh, cry, drink, listen to music, dance. We cannot guarantee who will win the Russia 2018 World Cup but we can tell you that Fun is 100% guaranteed.

开怀畅饮一整月！来找我们吧！！

During one month ，look for us in every corner.

干杯！！！

Cheers!
