As for the legendary German work ethic and organisational skills, I am pleased to say those perennial qualities are alive and well-and we at FIFA are only too happy to take advantage of them.
這個(gè)傳奇德國保持著傳統(tǒng)的道德倫理和嚴(yán)格的組織作風(fēng)，我很高興地說那些固有的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)現(xiàn)在依然很好地保持著——國際足聯(lián)也很高興有機(jī)會(huì)充分利用這一點(diǎn)。
For at all levels, the overall investment in any World Cup tournament is immense. The event is financially supported by the German state, but also by the "Lander" and the Host Cities. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt thanks to all those who are currently working with such passion and commitment to make the occasion a memorable one.
不管在哪一種水平上，每屆世界杯比賽都能得到極好的投資。這項(xiàng)賽事不僅有德國各州的資助，同時(shí)也得到來自 “Lander（國家）”和主辦城市的資助。我很高興利用這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)表達(dá)我衷心的感謝，感謝那些熱情工作的人們，感謝那些愿意帶給我們難忘回憶的人們。
The 2006 tournament will be a vastly different affair Thirty-two teams will have qualified, including five from Africa, all of whom now perform at a far higher level. Just remember how Senegal upset the odds in Korea and Japan in 2002. The same can be said for Asian teams, who produced a semi-finalist last year" something which would have been unthinkable back in 1974!
2006年世界杯就完全是另外一個(gè)樣子了，有32支凍隊(duì)最后進(jìn)入決賽圈，其中包括5支來自非洲的球隊(duì)，他們現(xiàn)在的水平早已有了很大提高。回憶一下2002年日韓世界杯上塞內(nèi)加爾如何成為黑馬，可以說這種情況同樣發(fā)生在韓國隊(duì)身上，去年世界杯上他們更打入半決賽。有些事情農(nóng)1974年真是無法想象的！
These performances bear witness to FIFA's efforts in the last quarter of a century to help the nations of the football world to compete on an equal footing. I will have the immense pleasure of welcoming you amongst my friends in Germany. We look forward to seeing you in 2006 to celebrate this unity!
這些成績見證了國際足聯(lián)在最近四分之一個(gè)世紀(jì)中所做出的努力一一幫助足球世界中的各國球隊(duì)在同一起點(diǎn)上進(jìn)行比賽。我將非常高興地歡迎大家來德國，來到我的朋友們中間，我們期待著能在2006年看到您，來一起歡慶這舉世矚目的盛典。
