England's David Beckham is set to miss this year's World Cup despite undergoing successful surgery on his torn Achilles tendon on Monday.
盡管英格蘭足球巨星大衛•貝克漢姆本周一接受的斷裂跟腱修復手術非常成功，但他已確定將無緣今年的世界杯比賽。
The 34-year-old suffered the injury in AC Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo on Sunday and flew to Finland for an operation performed by one of the world's top specialists.
34歲的貝克漢姆在上周日AC米蘭以1比0戰勝切沃的比賽中跟腱受傷，之后在第一時間飛往芬蘭求助一位世界頂級名醫。
So far everything is fine, surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava told the reporters. "The operation went smoothly and nicely."
這位名叫薩卡里•奧拉瓦的外科醫生告訴記者說：“目前來看情況不錯。手術非常順利，也很成功。”
Orava was asked whether the midfielder would be able to play in the World Cup in South Africa starting on June 11.
當被問及這位中場球員能否參加將于今年6月11日開幕的南非世界杯賽時，奧拉瓦說：“我覺得不行，他的傷勢需要很久才能恢復。”
No, I don't think so...healing takes a long time, he said.
貝克漢姆的腳需要大約六到八周的石膏，之后他將接受“強度更大的”物理治療。
Beckham's foot will be in a cast for around six to eight weeks, after which he can start "more vigorous" physiotherapy.
貝克漢姆是有史以來代表英格蘭國家隊出賽次數最多的非門將球員，迄今已有115次。而此前貝克漢姆一直在為他第四次出征世界杯而努力。
Beckham, England's most capped outfield player with 115 appearances, had been bidding to play in a fourth World Cup.
貝克漢姆在他的個人官網上說：“我很難過，但要謝謝大家的支持。我希望能盡快恢復到最佳狀態。”
I am upset but want to thank everyone for their messages of support, Beckham said on his official website. "I hope to make a swift and full recovery."
英格蘭隊教練法比奧•卡佩羅稱，貝克漢姆如果缺陣本屆世界杯，那將是個“巨大的打擊”。
England coach Fabio Capello said Beckham's likely absence was a "big blow."
卡佩羅在英國足球協會網站上發表的一份聲明中說：“大衛受傷了，對此我感到很難過。”
