2014世界杯球隊的有趣綽號

ENGLAND: “THREE LIONS”

英格蘭：三獅軍團

Named thusly for the trio of lions present on England's national football team crest — and the English coat of arms. It's a traditional emblem dating back to the reign of Richard the Lionheart.

三獅軍團之名來源于英格蘭國家足球隊隊服胸標和袖標上的三只獅子。這個傳統的標識可以追溯到獅心王理查（理查一世）統治時期。

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: "ZMAJEVI" ("DRAGONS")

波黑：龍之隊

The team's nickname often referred to by international media is a little less ferocious than the popular Bosnian nickname: "Zlatni Ljiljani," or "Golden Lilies," for the lily native to Bosnia and Herzegovina, also appearing on the Bosnian coat-of-arms.

國際媒體提到波黑隊時使用的這個綽號沒有“金色百合”那個綽號兇猛，百合花是波黑出產的，他們隊服的袖標上也是百合花。

NIGERIA: “SUPER EAGLES"

尼日利亞：非洲雄鷹

Erstwhile known as the "Green Eagles," the nickname comes from the eagle perched atop a soccer ball on the Nigerian national football team crest. Nigeria adopted the name after a controversial loss at the hands of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations final.

尼日利亞隊以前被稱為“綠色雄鷹”，這個綽號來源于尼日利亞國家足球隊胸標上那只站在足球頂端的雄鷹。1988年非洲國家杯決賽中，尼日利亞隊在爭議聲中負于非洲雄獅喀麥隆隊，之后便開始使用這個綽號。

PORTUGAL: “SELEC??O DAS QUINAS" ("TEAM OF THE FIVE")

葡萄牙：五盾之隊

The team is nicknamed for the five shields present on the national football team crest.

這個綽號來源于葡萄牙國家隊隊服胸標上的五個盾牌。
