||1: Like many a football team, however, the book is let down a little by its finishing. ||2: Even the modern photos are in grainy black and white. ||3: Mr Cruyff is pictured in the orange strip of the Netherlands rather than Barca’s red and blue. Arriving at Real, a clichéd David Beckham “like a proverbial phoenix rising from the ashes, calmly ran the gauntlet of the world’s media”. ||4: Nevertheless, Mr Burns shows that there is far more to tell about Spanish football than today’s success on the field.

||1:不管怎样，这本书就像大多数足球队，其结尾部分多少让人失望。||2:更别说书中在现代拍的照片是以木纹黑白照的形式出现。||3:约翰·克鲁伊夫在相片中穿的是荷兰的橙色服装而非巴萨的红蓝服。大卫·贝克汉姆加入皇家马德里之后，曾有个关于他的陈词滥调，“如众生所知，凤凰涅槃，于媒体枪林弹雨之前，沉着奔跑”||4:尽管如此，彭斯的书向我们展示了，西班牙足球不仅仅只有胜利，更有许多说不完，道不尽的精彩足球故事。

||1: Mr Lévi-Strauss, throwing down the gauntlet in “La Pensée Sauvage” in 1962, saw nothing primitive about the tribes he studied. ||2: Totemism, for example, was a system as complex as the Linnaean classification. ||3: In tribal myths, apparently diverse and arbitrary elements—eruptions by lizards and woodpeckers, the significance of black arrows or the artemisia plant—were suddenly revealed to have a universal unity at their heart, a quest for objective knowledge and origins as acute as any in the West. ||4: The minds behind them were not savage, just “untamed”. ||5: The salient difference was that his tribesmen stayed within their limits, simply putting the materials they had together in new ways, like handymen or bricoleurs. ||6: “Civilised” man, on the other hand, tried to defy his constraints and change the world with new inventions, like an engineer.

||1:列维-斯特劳斯在1962年出版了《野性的思维》一书，等于是（向萨特）下的战书。斯特劳斯认为自己研究的原始族群一点都不原始。||2:比如，图腾这个系统的复杂程度堪比林奈的植物学分类体系。||3:族群神话中那些表面看起来复杂任意的元素——比如蜥蜴、啄木鸟和火山爆发，比如黑色的箭或是蒿类植物的特殊含义——如果究其内核，会突然显现出协同一致性，那是一种对于客观知识和万物由来的探求，当中表现出的急切感不亚于西方任何一次同类的探求。||4:神话背后折射出的不是一群野蛮人的思维，只是“未驯服的”思维。||5:斯特劳斯笔下的原始人和我们明显不同的地方在于，他们并不逾越自身所处的限度，而只是把已有的东西换一种方式重新组合而已，就像杂活工一样。||6:而“文明”人则好像工程师：通过创新发明来藐视人类自身的局限，来改变世界。
