在法兰西体育场的的欧洲杯决赛中，皇马前锋C罗因和法国球员迪米特里·帕耶碰撞而伤到了膝盖，8分钟后（第25分钟时）就不得不含泪下场。

France, the firm favourites, were unable to capitalise on Ronaldo's absence, although they almost won it at the end of normal time when substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac turned and hit the inside of the post.

不过，夺冠热门法国队却没能利用好C罗退场的这个机会，尽管他们在常规比赛时间快要结束时差点就拿下了比赛，当时法国队替补球员安德雷·皮埃尔·吉尼亚克射门，球打在了球门立柱内侧。

Raphael Guerreiro hit the bar with a free-kick for Portugal after 108 minutes, but seconds later they were ahead when Eder fired a low, 25-yard drive past keeper Hugo Lloris.

第108分钟时，葡萄牙队的拉斐尔·格雷罗主罚任意球，但是球却打在了门框上。不过仅仅数秒之后，埃德尔就为葡萄牙队取得领先，当时他在距球门25码远的地方一脚低射，皮球绕过了法国门将乌戈·洛里斯进入了球门。

Ronaldo, who had given his Portugal team-mates animated encouragement in the break before extra time, was offering as much tactical advice as coach Fernando Santos in chaotic closing moments - and he was reduced to tears once more at the final whistle before lifting the trophy that has eluded his country for so long.

在加时赛开始前的休息时间，C罗对他的队友们给与了殷切的鼓励，而且在这一关键时刻，他也给了葡萄牙主帅费尔南多·桑托斯尽可能多的战术建议--在终场哨声响起、葡萄牙确定夺冠的那一刻，C罗又流下了泪水，他终于可以举起亏欠了祖国这么多年的奖杯。

Ronaldo has claimed the game's major prizes - such as the Champions League with Manchester United and Real Madrid - but a landmark victory with his country has always eluded him.

C罗曾多次获得足球大赛的冠军--例如效力于曼联和皇马时夺得的欧洲冠军联赛的奖杯，但是C罗却一直亏欠一个属于自己祖国的胜利。

The greatest disappointment was when, as hosts of Euro 2004, Portugal were beaten 1-0 by rank outsiders Greece in the final at Lisbon's famous Stadium of Light. Portugal also lost in the World Cup semi-finals in 2006, the quarter-finals at Euro 2008 and the semi-finals at Euro 2012.

令人最失望的应该是在2004年欧洲杯，当时葡萄牙是东道主，但是却在里斯本著名的光明球场被不被看好的的希腊队以1-0的比分击败。而在2006年世界杯半决赛、2008年欧洲杯四分之一决赛、2012年欧洲杯半决赛中，葡萄牙队都输掉了比赛。

Ronaldo, with his knee heavily strapped, then hobbled up the steps to lift the Euro 2016 trophy and fill a gap in his glittering list of honours.

最终，C罗带着膝盖上厚厚的绷带，步履蹒跚地走到台上，举起了2016欧洲杯的冠军奖杯，抹去了其光辉战绩上最后一点阴霾。

He was then centre stage in the subsequent celebrations, lying on the floor in front of his joyous team-mates.

在随后的庆祝活动上，C罗成为了人群的中心，他躺在地上，周围站着的都是他欣喜若狂的队友们。

The 31-year-old's night started and ended in tears, but this was a journey from agony to ecstasy - and his status as a Portuguese national hero was cemented even further.

C罗的这个夜晚从泪水开始，又以泪水为终结，但是这却是一个从痛苦到狂喜的旅程--而且C罗作为葡萄牙国家英雄的地位甚至进一步巩固了。
