巴西队在首都巴西利亚的马内加林查球场以5比0狂胜智利后,提前两轮从南美区出线,这已经是足球王国巴西历史上连续第18次闯进世界杯决赛,成为惟一一只从未缺席过任何一届决赛的球队。请看报道:
Brazil surged into the World Cup with a display of artful soccer that presents its coach with an enviable problem: Where to put so much talent?
Brazil's 5|0 rout1 of Chile on Sunday left the five|time world champions in second place in the South American qualifying group, one point behind Argentina but mathematically assured a berth2 in the 2006 Cup in Germany.
The victory was textbook soccer | with a touch of showtime | by a galaxy3 of rising stars and proven veterans that coach Carlos Alberto Parreira must mold into a cohesive4 unit. And he still must find a spot for striker Ronaldinho, FIFA's Player of the Year in 2004.
文中的rout意思是大败;溃败,比如:The battle/election was a complete and utter rout.(该战争/选举是一次彻彻底底的大溃败。)rout还可以用作动词表示:击溃,如:The cavalry5 charge utterly6 routed the enemy.(骑兵的冲锋彻底击溃了敌人。)
