這里是今日熱點節(jié)目。

The "underdog" Philadelphia Eagles football team has won its first Super Bowl. The team defeated the favored New England Patriots in the National Football League championship Sunday night in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The final score was 41 to 33.

賽前不被看好的費城老鷹隊贏得了隊史首座超級碗。周日晚間在明尼蘇達州明尼阿波利斯市舉行的美國職業(yè)橄欖球大聯(lián)盟冠軍賽上，該隊擊敗了賽前被廣泛看好的新英格蘭愛國者隊。最終比分定格為41：33。

Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was named Super Bowl 52's Most Valuable Player, or MVP. Foles was backup quarterback for most of the 17-week regular season. He replaced starter Carson Wentz when he was injured in week 14.

老鷹隊四分衛(wèi)尼克·福爾斯(Nick Foles)被評為第52屆超級碗最有價值球員。福爾斯在為期17周的常規(guī)賽的大部分時間里都是替補四分衛(wèi)。他在第14周取代了受傷的首發(fā)四分衛(wèi)卡森· 溫茲(Carson Wentz)出戰(zhàn)。

The last time a player has gone from a backup at the start of the season to Super Bowl MVP was sixteen years ago. That player was Tom Brady, the quarterback of the Patriots. Brady led his team in play Sunday night also.

上次一名球員從賽季初的替補變?yōu)槌壨胱钣袃r值球員還是6年之前。那名球員就是愛國者隊四分衛(wèi)湯姆·布雷迪(Tom Brady)。布雷迪周日晚上也帶領他的球隊參加了比賽。

Foles threw for three touchdowns and even caught the ball in a trick play. Brady dropped a pass in a similar play. However, he broke a Super Bowl record in passing.

福爾斯在比賽中傳出了三次達陣得分，甚至在一次巧妙戰(zhàn)術中接住了球。布雷迪在一次同樣的戰(zhàn)術中傳球失誤。然而，他打破了超級碗的傳球記錄。

Twenty-eight other Super Bowl records were tied or broken during the game. The game was the second highest-scoring Super Bowl ever.

這場比賽還打破了另外28項超級碗記錄，這是超級碗有史以來得分第二高的一場比賽。

As Brady's final Hail Mary pass dropped on the field, incomplete, Eagles fans flooded the streets of Philadelphia to celebrate the Pennsylvania city's first Super Bowl victory.

由于布雷迪最后一記搏命長傳(Hail Mary)沒被接住，老鷹隊球迷大量涌上費城街頭慶祝賓夕法尼亞州贏得首個超級碗。

Hometown newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, reported the scene this way:

當?shù)氐摹顿M城問詢報》這樣報道了現(xiàn)場：

"Men hoisted women on their shoulders, a father set off fireworks with his son, and residents clobbered pots and pans... Some people drank champagne. Some cried. And everywhere, Eagles chants thundered through the air."

“男人們把女人舉到他們的肩頭，一位父親帶著兒子一起放煙火，居民們敲響了鍋碗瓢盆......有人喝著香檳慶祝，有人激動得淚流滿面。到處都飄揚著老鷹隊的贊歌。”

Some of the celebrations turned ugly, however. People broke windows of a department store and pushed over streetlights at major road crossings. In another incident, a car was overturned outside a hotel. And the mayor's office said police made three arrests in connection with the post-Super Bowl activities.

然而，有些慶祝活動走向了不好的一面。人們打破了百貨公司的窗戶，推到了主要街口的路燈。在另一起事故中，一輛汽車在酒店外被掀翻。市長辦公室表示，警方在三起跟超級碗慶祝相關的活動中進行了逮捕。

By the morning light, city workers were out to clean up the mess and prepare for a victory parade on Broad Street.

晨光中，市政工人走出來清理垃圾，并且籌備在布羅德街舉辦一場勝利游行。

And that's What's Trending Today.
