世界盃申辦意外不斷 "不差錢”就行
Last night Downing Street did little to hide its anger and said Mr Cameron had no plans to congratulate the Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin personally ‘at the present time’。
唐寧街昨晚幾乎沒有隱藏它的憤怒，而且據說卡梅倫“在目前”還沒有要親自祝賀俄羅斯總理弗拉基米爾。普京的計劃。
Shortly after Fifa president Sepp Blatter declared Russia the winner for 2018, he announced that Qatar, a tiny desert country which has never even qualified to play in the World Cup, would host the 2022 tournament, beating bids from Australia, the United States and a joint bid from Japan and South Korea。
在國際足聯主席布拉特宣佈俄羅斯成功獲得2018年世界盃主辦權後不久，他宣佈卡塔爾這個從來沒有獲得世界盃參賽資格的沙漠小國，擊敗了澳大利亞、美國和聯合申辦的日本和韓國，將舉辦2022世界盃。
Fifa’s controversial decisions reinforced suspicions that the voting process was corrupt and that the sport’s world governing body had been seduced by the energy-rich countries’ billions, meaning that England’s bid never stood a chance。
國際足聯有爭議的決定更使人加深對投票內幕過程腐敗，以及這項運動的世界主管者是被能源大國卡塔爾的金錢所引誘的懷疑。這意味着英格蘭申辦從未有過希望。
A ‘bitterly disappointed’ and visibly furious Mr Cameron said England had the best technical bid and what he believed was the strongest commercial bid, adding: ‘It turns out that’s not enough.’
感到“心寒”和顯露憤怒的卡梅倫說英國投了最好的技術標，以及他認爲的最強的商業標，並說：“原來這些還不夠。”
Asked what more England could have done to secure the tournament, the Prime Minister replied: ‘I think that’s for others to say.’
當被問及如果要贏得主辦權，英格蘭還有什麼可以做的，總理回答說：“我認爲這應該讓別人來回答。”
A crestfallen Prince William, who spent the last three days in a hectic round of meetings with Fifa delegates, said: ‘Well, obviously we’re extremely disappointed and so is the team. We had a very strong bid but sadly it didn’t work out。
垂頭喪氣的威廉王子在之前的三天裏都在忙着與國際足聯代表們開會，他說：“恩，我們當然感到非常失望，球隊也是如此。我們有很強的投標，但遺憾的是沒有成功。
