Soccer star Diego Armando Maradona died on Wednesday.

足球明星迭戈·阿曼多·马拉多纳于周三去世。

Maradona is said to have suffered a heart attack at his home in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He died less than one month after his 60th birthday.

据传马拉多纳在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯市的家中心脏病发作。他去世时距离过完60岁生日还不到一个月。

Maradona grew up in a poor area of Buenos Aires and led Argentina's national team to victory in the 1986 World Cup. However, he was kicked out of the 1994 World Cup for a drug violation1. His career was cut short after years of drug use, overeating and alcoholism.

马拉多纳在布宜诺斯艾利斯的贫民区长大,并带领阿根廷国家队赢得了1986年世界杯冠军。但是,他因药物违禁被踢出了1994年世界杯。在多年的吸毒、暴饮暴食和酗酒之后,他的职业生涯戛然而止。

In 2000, Maradona nearly died of heart failure caused by use of the drug cocaine3. But he came back in 2008 to coach the Argentina national team.

2000年,马拉多纳因为吸毒差点死于心力衰竭。但是他在2008年王者归来,并执教了阿根廷国家队。

He was one of the most gifted players in the history of the sport. And, he was honored4 like a god for his skills with the football, as it is called in much of the world. In Argentina, he was called ‘El Dios', or The God in English. It is a play on words on his number 10 shirt, ‘El Diez,' in the Spanish language.

他是足球运动史上最有天赋的球员之一。他还凭借球技被当作“上帝”一样的存在。在阿根廷,他被称为“El Dios”,这个词翻译成英文的意思就是上帝。这是对他所穿10号球衣上的西班牙语“EI Diez(10号)”玩的一个文字游戏。

Some Argentinians consider Maradona the greatest football player ever, edging out Brazilian footballer, Pelé. Both were named FIFA Player of the Century in 2000.

一些阿根廷人认为马拉多纳是有史以来最伟大的球员,远超巴西球员贝利。这两人都在2000年被评为国际足联世纪最佳球员。

Maradona was largely5 responsible for Argentina's World Cup victory in 1986 in Mexico. He scored two famous goals in one game against England for a 2-1 victory.

阿根廷赢得了1986年墨西哥世界杯冠军很大程度上要归功于马拉多纳。他在2:1击败英格兰的一场比赛中打入了两粒著名的进球。

The first goal was scored with his fist but officials on the field did not see it. He later said, "It was partly by the hand of God and partly with the head of Maradona."

第一个球是他用拳头打进去的,但是场上裁判没有看到。他后来说:“这个进球一半是上帝之手,一半是马拉多纳的脑袋。”

Maradona then dribbled6 past half of England's team for his second goal of the game. It is often called the goal of the century.

然后马拉多纳带球过了英格兰队的半数球员,打进了他在这场比赛中的第二球。这个进球经常被称为世纪最佳进球。

Born with a football

生于足球

Born on October 30, 1960, in Buenos Aires, Maradona was the fifth of eight children of a factory worker. As a child, he slept with a football under his arm while his mother thought he would grow up to be an accountant.

马拉多纳于1960年10月30日生于布宜诺斯艾利斯,他是一名工人8个孩子当中的第5个。小时候他就搂着足球睡觉,而他的妈妈则认为他长大后会成为一名会计师。

Maradona played for the Argentinos Juniors at the age of 15. Two years later, he just missed being a part of Argentina's 1978 World Cup team.

马拉多纳15岁就为阿根廷青年队效力。两年之后,他未能成为1978年世界杯阿根廷国家队的一员。

In 1984, he joined the Italian team Napoli for a then world-record $7.5 million contract. He led the team to two Italian football championships.

1984年,他以创下当时世界纪录的750万美元的转会合同加盟了意大利那不勒斯队。他带领这支球队两次获得了意甲冠军。

After the 1986 World Cup victory in Mexico, he also brought Argentina's national team to a World Cup final in Rome in 1990.

在1986年墨西哥世界杯之后,他还带领阿根廷国家队打入了1990年罗马世界杯的决赛。

But by 1991, drugs and alcohol2 began taking over his life.

但是到了1991年,毒品和酒精开始接管了他的人生。

That year Maradona received a 15-month suspension7 from the sport for a drug violation. He was banned again for 15 months after a drug test at the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

那年,马拉多纳因为药物违禁被停赛15个月。1994年美国世界杯药检之后,他再次被禁赛15个月。

Of his troubles, Maradona once said, "Football is the most beautiful and healthy sport in the world. It shouldn't have to pay for my mistakes. It's not the ball's fault."

马拉多纳在谈到他的这些麻烦时表示:“足球是世界上最美丽、最健康的运动。它无需为我的错误买单,责任不在它。”

Maradona retired8 from professional football in 1997. After his near-death experience in 2000, he received treatment and spent some time with Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

马拉多纳于1997年从职业足球退役。在2000年濒临死亡的经历之后,他接受了治疗,并与古巴领导人菲德尔·卡斯特罗一起度过了一段时间。

From China to Europe, Argentinians found they could make friends just by mentioning Maradona's name. Some even created the Maradoniana Church with a saying "Make Diego your middle name and name your first son Diego."

阿根廷人发现,从中国到欧洲,只要提到马拉多纳的名字就能交上朋友。有人甚至创建了马拉多纳教会,弄出了“将迭戈作为你的中间名字,以及给你第一个儿子取名为迭戈”这种说法。

After hearing the news of Maradona's death, the football great Pelé told Reuters in a statement, "One day we'll kick a ball together in the sky above."

在听到马拉多纳离世的消息之后,足球巨星贝利在一份发给路透社的声明中表示:“终有一天我将和他在天上一起踢球。”
