世界杯英文介绍
World Cup (soccer), two international soccer tournaments, one for men and one for women, each held every four years. Both tournaments are the pinnacle of international competition in the sport.
The men＇s World Cup is considered the most popular sporting event in the world and is followed with passionate interest around the
globe—the final game of the 1998 tournament was played to a television audience of more than 1 billion viewers.

More than 90,000 fans attended the finals of the 1999 tournament—one of the largest crowds ever to witness a women＇s sporting event. Nearly 75 nations attempted to qualify for the 1999 event, which was a 16-team elimination tournament.

第19届世界杯揭开战幕，东道主南非1比1战平墨西哥。
之后的另一场比赛在开普敦展开争夺，法国0比0战平乌拉圭，法国连续3届世界杯首战不胜。
本届世界杯的前两场比赛都以“平局”收场，那么我们就来看看这个词在英文报道中的不同说法吧。
以下是关于两场比赛的英文报道：
South Africa nearly made a perfect start to the World Cup on Friday, scoring early in the second half before conceding a late goal in a 1-1 draw with Mexico in the opening match of the tournament。
南非队为本次世界杯带来了一个近乎完美的开端。
在揭幕赛中，南非队在下半场开始不久便打入一球，后来被墨西哥队扳回一球将比分逼平。
Ten-man Uruguay snatcheda goalless tie with France in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Group A match here on Friday night, repeating their last encounter in the 2002 World Cup group stage。
2010年南非世界杯A组的比赛中，只有十名队员在场的乌拉圭队(编辑注：有一名队员在81分钟被红牌罚下场)与法国队战成了0比0平，这两支队在2002年世界杯小组赛中也曾0比0握手言和。
从上面的报道中，我们可以看到，“平局”对应的英文表达为draw或tie，“两个队战成平局”可以用A tie/draw B 1-1、A and B play to 1-1 draw 或the game ends in a tie/draw来表示。
例如：Host South Africa tied/drew Mexico 1-1 in the World Cup opening game。
东道主南非队在揭幕战与墨西哥队战成1比1平。
South Africa and Mexico played to a 1-1 draw in the opening game。
揭幕战南非与墨西哥达成1比1平。
The World Cup opening game ends in a tie/draw。
世界杯揭幕战以平局收场。
如果双方都没有进球，战成了0比0平，那么这个平局就叫做a goalless tie/draw或者a scoreless tie/draw。
