Diego Armando Maradona is thought as the greatest player in the history of the football game. He was born on October 30th， 1960， in Lanus， Argentina. At 16 he was Argentinas youngest player when he played against Hungary. Two years later he captained1 the Argentina youth team as they won the World Youth Cup. The success continued and he was voted South American Player of the Year in 1979 and 1980.

迭戈·阿曼多·馬拉多納被認為是足壇歷史上最偉大的球員。他于1960年10月30日出生在阿根廷拉努斯。他16歲對戰匈牙利的時候就已經是阿根廷最年輕的球員了。兩年后，他率領阿根廷隊奪得了世界青年足球錦標賽冠軍。成功之路繼續前進，1979和1980年，他被選為南美年度最佳球員。

In 1982 the World Cup was held in Spain and Maradona he attended his first World Cup. The game didnt end as Maradona had hoped. He was sent off against Brazil in the second half， as Argentina bowed out2.

1982年世界杯在西班牙舉行，馬拉多納第一次參加世界杯，但是結果卻不是他想的那樣。在對戰巴西隊的下半場，他被罰出場，阿根廷隊也被淘汰出局。

Two years later， a world record fee of $6，900，000 took Maradona to Napoli， and in 1987 they won a league and cup double. A year earlier he had captained Argentina to a second World Cup victory. Maradona scored 5 goals in that game， including two against England. The first was the infamous3 “Hand of God”. The second probably was the greatest goal ever scored in a world Cup game， as he ran from his own half showing magical football skills and leaving seven English players for dead.

兩年后，馬拉多納以創世界紀錄的690萬美元轉會費加盟意大利那不勒斯隊。1987年，他們贏得了聯賽和杯賽雙冠王。在那前一年，他曾帶領阿根廷贏得了第二個世界杯的冠軍。在那屆比賽中馬拉多納拿下5個進球，其中兩個是對陣英格蘭時踢進的。第一個便是臭名昭著的“上帝之手”。第二個也許是世界杯史上最偉大的進球，當時他連過5人，展示出了他那魔法般的球技，讓英格蘭的7名球員傻了眼。

Success continued with Napoli as he led them to a victory in the UEFA cup in 1989. In 1990 the World Cup was held in Italy and Maradona captained Argentina to another final. This time the Germans performed too strong for the Argentinians.

成功繼續上演，1989年馬拉多納帶領那不勒斯隊贏得了歐洲足球協會聯盟杯的冠軍。1990年世界杯在意大利舉行，馬拉多納帶領阿根廷隊又挺進了決賽，這次比賽，對于阿根廷隊來說，德國隊的表現非常兇猛。

The World Cup story of Maradona has a sad ending because he was sent home for drug abuse4 in 1994.

馬拉多納世界杯故事的結尾令人扼腕——1994年他因濫用藥物被遣送回國。endprint
