England defeated Sweden 2-0 on Saturday to go through to the 2018 World Cup semifinal for the first time since 1990.

　　周六英格兰队以2比0击败瑞典队进入2018年世界杯半决赛，这是英格兰自1990年以来首次入围半决赛。

　　The victory came a bit easier than the Three Lions’ previous match against Colombia, in which England needed to prevail in a tense penalty shootout before advancing. On Saturday, England took control early and never looked back.

　　这场胜利比“三狮军团”上一场对阵哥伦比亚的比赛要容易一些，在这场比赛中，英格兰需要在紧张的点球大战中战胜对手。星期六，英格兰早早控制住了局面，头也不回地冲进半决赛。

　　Harry Maguire opened up the scoring in the first half as England continued to excel on set pieces and free kicks. After England won a corner, Maguire got his head on a beautiful ball from Ashley Young to give the Three Lions the lead just 30 minutes into the match.

　　英格兰队继续发挥定位和任意球的特长，哈里-马奎尔在上半场进球得分。在英格兰队赢得一个角球后，马奎尔接过阿什利·扬的一个漂亮的传球并头球破门，让“三狮军团”在比赛的头30分钟就获得领先。

　　From there, England would not look back, controlling the pace of the match and never ceding much ground to Sweden. In the few moments that the Swedes looked as if they might be a threat to equalize, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford did his part to hold on to the clean sheet.

　　接着，英格兰头也不回地控制了比赛的节奏，并且不给瑞典太多机会。瑞典队数次看起来好像可能会掰成平手，但守门员乔丹-皮克福德尽其所能守住球门没有失球。

　　In the second half, England doubled its advantage with a header from Dele Alli. The play came to life so quickly and easily that it looked more like practice than something that could have been executed in a World Cup quarterfinal.

　　在下半场，英格兰队凭借德勒-阿里的头球破门，将其优势又扩大一倍。这场比赛开展得如此迅速而轻松，看起来更像是练习赛，而不是世界杯四分之一决赛。

　　In light of its 2-0 victory Saturday, England is one of the final four teams that will compete for the World Cup and is just two wins away from raising the trophy. With powerhouse Brazil falling to Belgium in the "side of death," the tournament looks wide open for any team to finish its magical run.

　　鉴于周六2比0的胜利，英格兰是最后四支将争夺世界杯的球队之一，距其离奖杯只有两步之遥。随着强队巴西队落在“死神的一边”输给了比利时，任何一支球队都有可能成为这次世界杯冠军。

　　England will face off against the winner of Saturday’s match between Russia and Croatia for a spot in the World Cup final on Wednesday, July 11.

　　7月11日星期三的晋级世界杯决赛的比赛中，英格兰队将面对周六俄罗斯队与克罗地亚队之间的获胜者。
