錯過1950年世界盃決賽 原版球票換巴西決賽入場

Brazilian soccer fan Joedir Sancho Belmonte missed the 1950 World Cup final to stay home with his sick mother. Sixty-four years later, Belmonte exchanged his original unused ticket for three new tickets to the 2014 final.

1950年巴西首次承辦世界盃，由於要在家照顧臥病在牀的母親，巴西球迷朱蒂爾·桑喬·貝爾蒙特錯過了巴西與烏拉圭的決賽。六十四年過後，貝爾蒙特用原版未曾使用的決賽門票換取了三張本屆世界盃決賽的入場券。

Now a white-haired grandfather, Belmonte has never regretted missing the 1950 match, particularly since his mother died just a few days later. "I decided not to go, and it was a good decision," he told the reporters.

時隔多年，貝爾蒙特如今已是一位白髮蒼蒼的老人。沒能現場觀看1950年世界盃的決賽，他從不感到後悔。那次決賽過後沒幾天，他的母親就去世了。“我當時決定放棄觀看比賽的機會，事實證明這樣做是正確的。”他對記者說。

Brazil lost that 1950 final, 2-1, to Uruguay, a historic humiliation that still stings Brazilian fans today. Belmonte, 85, hopes he'll get to see his country regain its honor. "I hope Brazil will be able to win this time," he said. "This is our revenge. I want to go see our revenge."

1950年世界盃決賽，巴西1比2不敵烏拉圭，與冠軍失之交臂。對現在的巴西球迷來說，那依然是一段令人痛楚的恥辱史。如今，貝爾蒙特老爺子已經85歲高齡，他希望能夠看到祖國重拾桑巴榮耀。“我希望巴西再次奪冠。”他說。“這是我們的復仇之戰，我很想去看。”

Unfortunately, there won't be a 2014 rematch between Brazil and Uruguay, as the latter was eliminated on Saturday. If Brazil makes it to the final on July 13, the country could play Mexico, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, Greece, USA, Belgium, Argentina or Switzerland.

遺憾的是，隨着烏拉圭在當地時間週六（6月28日）被哥倫比亞淘汰出局，本屆世界盃決賽將不再是巴西和烏拉圭之間的再次對話。如果巴西殺入7月13日的決賽，對手將可能是墨西哥、荷蘭、哥斯達黎加、希臘、美國、比利時、阿根廷和瑞士中的一支（譯註：1/8決賽中，墨西哥與希臘分別不敵荷蘭與哥斯達黎加，憾別世界盃）。

Belmonte's 1950 ticket will be displayed at a Zurich museum that is set to open in 2015, according to Jerome Valcke, FIFA's secretary general. "This is something rare we would like to have for the museum," he said.

據國際足聯祕書長傑羅姆·瓦爾克說，貝老爺子的1950年版門票將在蘇黎世的一家博物館展出，展覽定於2015年開放。他還說：“這版球票很稀有，我們希望博物館能夠珍藏。”
