眾所周知，世界杯32支參賽隊伍中注定要有31支要兩手空空地回家，在他們追逐勝利的征程上都至少經歷過一次心碎時刻。

And how does one commemorate that heartbreak? Well, they only need to look as far as the 2014 World Cup logo to see a perfect symbol of any sorrow or shame that might befall their team. As has been pointed out in many corners the past month, the yellow hand in the logo makes the shape look more like a "facepalm" than the intended World Cup trophy.

如何表達這一心情呢？隊員們只需去看看2014巴西世界杯的標志即可，這一標志完美地表現出了當球隊被淘汰時那種悲傷羞辱的感覺。正如過去一個月來多方所指出的那樣，黃色手掌使這個標志更像一張“捂面無語的臉”，而不是一尊像樣的大力神杯。

Noted soccer fan and actor Sir Patrick Stewart turned in the most noted facepalm while potraying Captain Jean Luc-Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," but other instances in popular culture serve as groan-worthy currency when people engage in the online meme.

這就不得不提到大牌演員兼球迷帕特里克·斯圖爾特（Patrick Stewart），他在《星際迷航：下一代》中所飾演的皮卡德艦長屢屢上演這一經典動作。如今“捂臉時刻”已在網絡流行文化中隨處可見。

It's unclear who noticed the similarity at first, but it wasn't a recent discovery. Check out this evolution that came out after Brazil suffered its big loss to the Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinal.

雖然尚不清楚是誰先發現了這一驚人相似之處，但早在巴西隊2010世界杯四分之一決賽上負于荷蘭時就有人發現了。

Brazilian soccer fans are hoping this logo won't reflect their own World Cup experience this time around.

巴西球迷們希望本次世界杯不會像這標志的“表情”一樣讓人傷透腦筋。
