As the soccer season draws near to concluding, it is true that all good things must come to an end.世間美好的事情總會(huì)有結(jié)束的時(shí)候，本賽季足球聯(lián)賽的群雄爭(zhēng)霸也即將鳴金收兵，臨近尾聲了。

After a long national holiday week, without much preparation for many of the players, the Eagles of RDF traveled to SWIS in a top of the table clash. 經(jīng)過(guò)漫長(zhǎng)的國(guó)慶假期，不少老鷹隊(duì)的隊(duì)員在缺少足夠準(zhǔn)備的前提下，匆匆趕往SWIS的賽場(chǎng)。

Blessed with optimal playing conditions and a beautiful playing surface both teams were eager to start the game. In cool conditions, the overcasting clouds even began to give way to direct sunlight to showcase and highlight this sporting spectacle between two talented teams. Prior to this fixture, RDF was placed second and SWIS third in domestic league table.

在極佳的比賽條件和優(yōu)美的比賽環(huán)境中，兩支球隊(duì)都對(duì)比賽展露出極度的渴望。天高氣爽， 兩支才華橫溢的球隊(duì)似乎吸引著高聳于天空之中的太陽(yáng)，它極力穿破密布陰云，讓陽(yáng)光托襯和突顯賽場(chǎng)上的波瀾壯闊。在本場(chǎng)比賽之前，RDF在聯(lián)賽中屈居第二，而SWIS則位列第三。

It took the Eagles some time to get out of second gear and before we knew it, we were two goals down early in the first half. It was discouraging to be behind, but it was going to take a lot more than two goals to break down a resilient team with a great sense of belief.

老鷹隊(duì)花費(fèi)了不少時(shí)間，才擺脫了慌亂的比賽狀態(tài)。但當(dāng)我們回過(guò)神來(lái)時(shí)，上半場(chǎng)對(duì)方已經(jīng)連下兩城。比賽的落后讓我們稍有不安，但是，想要摧毀一支意志堅(jiān)定、團(tuán)結(jié)一心的強(qiáng)隊(duì)，兩個(gè)進(jìn)球是尚不足以的。

The comeback was on, we managed to bring it to 3-2 at half time through a powerful shot through the laces of Mike Liao. It was surprising the young striker didn't need new boots after unleashing a powerful shot that left the opposition goal keeper thankful to be alive. Jason Liu also once again found himself on the score sheet as he so often has through a close-range effort.

反攻的號(hào)角吹響，我方在Mike liao的出彩進(jìn)攻中，將比分反超，3-2. 令人驚奇的是，這位出色的進(jìn)攻隊(duì)員，在一次次力拔山兮的射門之后，并不需要太多的調(diào)整時(shí)間，便能繼續(xù)展開(kāi)下一回合的進(jìn)攻，這讓對(duì)方的門將為自我的安然無(wú)恙而感到慶幸。Jason liu也再次通過(guò)自己的方式，在近距離找到以往的節(jié)奏，為球隊(duì)再次建功。

At halftime, both coaches tried to inspire their players to take the game by the horns. The game was still there for the taking and the three points were up for grabs at 3-2, who wanted it more?

中場(chǎng)休息，兩隊(duì)的教練都在鼓舞著隊(duì)員們?nèi)σ愿澳孟卤荣悺?-2的比分并非最終的結(jié)果，終場(chǎng)的哨聲也仍未響起，最終誰(shuí)能將比賽的勝利收入囊中?

The players showed desire and fight but unfortunately, it was not enough. The game ended 6-3 in favor of SWIS. Our opponents showed great sportsmanship and football was ultimately the winner today as a good game was had by all. We left Shenzhen with our heads held high, no regrets.

隊(duì)員們表現(xiàn)出對(duì)于勝利極度的渴望和高昂的戰(zhàn)斗精神，但不幸的是，距離勝利的光環(huán)總有一些距離。最終比賽以SWIS 6-3 擊敗RDFIS結(jié)束了。我們的對(duì)手表現(xiàn)出了出色的體育精神，“足球”最終成為今天的贏家，所有人都收獲了出色的比賽。我們昂首挺胸離開(kāi)深圳市區(qū)，不帶有一絲的悔恨和懊惱。

For the first time in RDF MS History, the boys finished the league in third position amongst seven highly competitive teams. On Thursday 10 October, RDF will compete for ultimate glory in the playoffs. The playoffs will involve two semi-final matches and one final. In this winner takes all scenario, I trust all Eagles will be thinking of our players this Thursday.

這是RDF MS歷史上的首次，男隊(duì)在7支競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的球隊(duì)中排名第三。10月10日(星期四)，RDF將爭(zhēng)奪季后賽的終極榮耀。季后賽將進(jìn)行兩場(chǎng)半決賽和一場(chǎng)決賽。在這孤注一擲、破釜沉舟的局面下，我相信全體師生都會(huì)在本周四心系每一位我們的球員。

Our opponents in our semi-final match will be our opponents from today, SWIS.

我們將在半決賽與我們的老對(duì)手SWIS, 再次狹路相逢。

The Eagles never lose, they learn. Second chances don't come around often and we are grateful to be in the position we are in. We will certainly be giving our best shot on Thursday but regardless of the result, as the coach, and proud Eagle, am extremely proud of the players.

老鷹隊(duì)永遠(yuǎn)都在失敗中有所收獲。人生中，第二次重來(lái)的機(jī)會(huì)并不總是眷顧著所有人。我們很高興，我們擁有再次來(lái)過(guò)的機(jī)會(huì)。我們?cè)谥芩亩▽⑷σ愿?，但不管結(jié)果如何，我們都因?yàn)槔销楆?duì)而感到無(wú)比的驕傲和自豪。

Soar Eagles, Soar!

展翅高飛吧，老鷹隊(duì)!

Girls

Soccer Team

In the final game of the season against SWIS, the RDF MS girls team played like the eagles they are. Shadow Chen opened the scoring early on off a lovely passing play, and the girls were in good spirits. SWIS turned out to have a secret weapon who was able to consistently take on our 3-player defense single-handedly and scored a total of 6 goals with her deadly accurate aim. It was not a winning end to a winning season, but rather a spirited end to a season of MS girls learning, growing, and demonstrating pride in themselves and their school.

在本賽季對(duì)陣SWIS的最后一場(chǎng)比賽中，RDF女隊(duì)就像老鷹一樣在戰(zhàn)斗。Shadow Chen在一場(chǎng)充滿密集傳接球的比賽中開(kāi)始得分，姑娘們情緒高昂。但是事實(shí)證明，SWIS擁有的秘密武器，能夠一手突破我們的3人聯(lián)防，并且以她致命的準(zhǔn)確進(jìn)攻，一共打入了6個(gè)進(jìn)球。這不僅僅是一個(gè)賽季的結(jié)束，也是女隊(duì)球員們的學(xué)習(xí)和成長(zhǎng)，并表現(xiàn)出對(duì)自己和學(xué)校自豪感的一段成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷的結(jié)束。
