“诸神黄昏只有C罗听进去了”上热搜,“诸神黄昏”是什么意思?

世界杯小组赛首轮,葡萄牙1-1爆冷战平刚果。41岁的C罗首发出场,却全场0射正。

赛后,他在社交媒体上写道:“这不是我们想要的开局。”

而就在前一天,梅西刚刚上演帽子戏法。一个是39岁的梅西,仍然在世界杯赛场上用进球制造高光;一个是41岁的C罗,在葡萄牙首战中没能完成射正。

话题“诸神黄昏只有C罗听进去了”随即登上热搜。网友调侃:只有C罗把“诸神黄昏”这一剧本演了下去。

The hashtag "Only Cristiano Ronaldo took the Twilight of the Gods seriously" trended after Portugal was held to a surprising 1-1 draw by DR Congo. Cristiano Ronaldo played out his 6th World Cup game with 0 shots on target.

Just one day earlier, Lionel Messi had delivered a hat-trick and once again put himself at the center of the spotlight.

On the same World Cup stage and almost back-to-back, their contrasting performances gave the phrase "Twilight of the Gods" a much sharper meaning.

什么是“诸神黄昏”

在北欧神话里,“诸神黄昏”(Ragnarök)指的是末日劫难,众神与巨人同归于尽,宇宙随之覆灭。其预兆是连续三个漫长严冬,期间世界战乱频发、道德崩坏,最终仙宫遭围攻,诸神尽数陨落。

所谓 “诸神黄昏”的重点不只是死亡,而是一个旧时代的终结。曾经高高在上的神明,也会迎来陨落;曾经看似永恒的秩序,也会被彻底推翻。

In Norse mythology, the "Twilight of the Gods" refers to "Ragnarök", the final catastrophe of the mythic world. It is not simply a sunset, but the end of an age. Even gods who once stood above all things must fall, and even an order that seemed eternal can be overturned by fate.

过去二十年,世界足坛几乎被一批超级巨星定义。梅西和C罗是其中最突出的两个名字。他们长期竞争金球奖,在欧冠、联赛、国家队比赛中不断刷新纪录,也几乎把“巨星表现”的标准推到了前所未有的高度。

除了他们之外,莫德里奇、诺伊尔、苏亚雷斯、莱万、本泽马等球员,也共同构成了一个属于老一代球迷记忆的黄金时代。

这些球员之所以会被称作“诸神”,并不是因为他们真的不会失败,而是因为他们曾经长期站在世界最高处。他们的进球、扑救、传球、冠军和个人荣誉,塑造了一个时代的足球审美。

很多球迷从学生时代看到上班,从熬夜看欧冠看到熬夜看世界杯,他们仍然在场上,但他们所代表的时代已经明显走到了后半段。

In football, the phrase has come to describe the final chapter of a golden generation. Messi, Ronaldo, Modrić, Neuer, Suárez, Lewandowski and Benzema helped define the game for nearly two decades. 

They were not called "gods" because they never failed, but because they spent so long at the top that their dominance began to feel almost permanent.

绿茵场上的黄昏

对于年轻球员来说,四年可能意味着成长、成熟和爆发。但对于三十多岁甚至四十岁的老将来说,四年往往意味着另一件事:速度下降,体能下降,伤病恢复变慢。曾经一个人就能解决的问题,现在可能需要更多队友支撑和战术保护。

在这场对阵刚果的比赛中,葡萄牙需要进球时,C罗没有完成这个关键的射门;球队需要打破僵局时,他也没有成为那个改变局面的人。对于一个以终结能力和关键表现闻名的球员来说,“0射正”这个数字本身就足够刺眼。

That is why Ronaldo's performance became so noticeable. A striker failing to hit the target can happen in any match. But when the striker is Cristiano Ronaldo, the number carries more weight.

“老骥伏枥,志在千里。”时间会带走速度和爆发力,却未必能带走一名老将继续向前的斗志。

世界杯才刚刚开始,希望这位陪伴一代球迷青春的传奇,仍能在赛场上留下属于自己的回应。
