Italy 1950
意大利（1950年）
The Italians were the long-standing defending champions, having won the World Cup in 1934 and 1938 - with a 12-year gap until the next tournament in 1950.
意大利曾分别在1934年和1938年赢得世界杯，是时间跨度最长的卫冕冠军，但在历经12年后的1950年，他们才迎来又一届世界杯。
Their national team was weakened with some of the side sadly dying in the Superga air disaster a year before the start of the tournament and the champions were not keen to attend the finals.
在开赛前一年发生的苏佩尔加山空难中，意大利国家队的一些队员罹难，其实力也因此被削弱，卫冕冠军甚至都对参加决赛圈的比赛失去了兴趣。
After some persuasion they travelled to Brazil, but by boat rather than plane.
经劝说他们决定前往巴西，不过是乘船而不是乘飞机去的。
They lost 3-2 to Sweden before beating Paraguay 2-0 but it wasn't enough and the Italians were on their way home - again by boat.
他们以2:3输给了瑞典队，之后以2:0战胜了巴拉圭队，但这还不够，意大利人打道回府了——又是乘船回去的。
