金融时报的另一句The World Cup in the modern era is a mountain that any generation can climb only once, if it’s very lucky. No country has won two in a row since 1962. 也很值得玩味，将世界杯比作任何一代只能攀登一次的高山，自1962年，没有国家能蝉联世界杯冠军。

win two in a row连续赢两次，连续可以用in a row来表达

 

2. 美国欧盟关税之战，哈雷举白旗

 

【美国总统特朗普在本月初决定对欧盟的钢铝产品开征关税，此举旨在保护美国的就业岗位。作为对美国关税的回应，欧盟已经在6月22日开始对一系列美国产品开征25%的进口关税，包括哈雷戴维森公司生产的摩托车。6月26日，哈雷戴维森宣布将把部分制造业务迁出美国，以避免欧盟的关税。】

European tariffs provide an unwanted headwind, and the company has responded by saying it would shift more production to facilities in India, Brazil and Thailand.

Harley may not be the last flag-waving American brand to find itself paying a price for its government’s America First trade policies.
