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’。

　　唐宁街昨晚几乎没有隐藏它的愤怒，而且据说卡梅伦“在目前”还没有要亲自祝贺俄罗斯总理弗拉基米尔。普京的计划。

　　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。

　　在国际足联主席布拉特宣布俄罗斯成功获得2018年世界杯主办权后不久，他宣布卡塔尔这个从来没有获得世界杯参赛资格的沙漠小国，击败了澳大利亚、美国和联合申办的日本和韩国，将举办2022世界杯。

　　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。

　　国际足联有争议的决定更使人加深对投票内幕过程腐败，以及这项运动的世界主管者是被能源大国卡塔尔的金钱所引诱的怀疑。这意味着英格兰申办从未有过希望。

　　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”和显露愤怒的卡梅伦说英国投了最好的技术标，以及他认为的最强的商业标，并说：“原来这些还不够。”

　　asked what more england could have done to secure the tournament, the prime minister replied: ‘i think that’s for others to say.’

　　当被问及如果要赢得主办权，英格兰还有什么可以做的，总理回答说：“我认为这应该让别人来回答。”

　　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。

　　垂头丧气的威廉王子在之前的三天里都在忙着与国际足联代表们开会，他说：“恩，我们当然感到非常失望，球队也是如此。我们有很强的投标，但遗憾的是没有成功。
