Two soccer players from opposing teams playing in the 2018 World Cup in Russia joined on the field on Monday after a game to pray together.
俄罗斯两个对抗球队的球员在2018世界杯周一的一场赛后一起祷告。
Belgium player Romelu Lukaku, a Roman Catholic, and Panama player Fidel Escobar, an evangelical Christian, knelt on the field after the match between the two countries. Belgium won 3-0.
比利时球员罗梅卢·卢卡库是一名罗马天主教徒，巴拿马球员菲德尔·埃斯科巴是一名福音派基督徒，在参加完两个国家的比赛后跪在场地上祷告。比利时以3比0胜。
"Lukaku and Fidel Escobar kneeling and praying at the final whistle was a beautiful moment for many. Both players may represent different religions and had differing results, yet they found peace in what they were doing," wrote Oscar Flex - Kibet, a digital content creator, on Twitter.
“卢卡库和菲德尔·埃斯科巴在最后时刻跪下来祷告的场景给很多人留下美好印象。两个球员可能代表了不同的信仰，也有不同的结果，但他们都在所做的事情上得到平安。” 数字内容创作者奥斯卡·费莱克斯--凯百特在推特上这样写道。
"Love for the game, God above all," he added.
“爱比赛，更爱上帝”，他补充道。
The image of the two soccer players praying after the game was widely circulated on social media. Many called it the “image of the day,”according to reports.
两个球员在赛后祷告的图片在社交媒体上广泛传播。报道发现，很多人称之为“今日形象”。
Lukaku is the star of the Manchester United English Premier League. He scored two of Monday’s winning goals. He has been vocal about his faith, using his Instagram account to talk about it.
卢卡库是曼联英超联赛的明星。他在周一的赛事上得了两分。他公开宣扬自己的信仰，在自己的Ins上谈论信仰。
In one post from September 2017, Lukaku posted a photo of himself praying on the field after his team qualified for the World Cup.
在2017年9月份的INS上，卢卡库晒出了一张自己跪在场地上祷告的照片，拍摄于得知其球队挺进世界杯后。
Earlier in 2017, British tabloid newspapers said Lukaku was Muslim, but Lukaku had publically talked about his Christian faith in years before. In 2016, he was featured in a Christian Today article, “Five Christian superstars of Euro 2016” and in 2014, he was quoted in The Sun as posting on his Instagram: “Belief has always been important to me. Live from Lourdes. God is great.”
2017年初时，英国小报称卢卡库是穆斯林，但他在早些年就已经公开承认自己是基督徒。2016年，他出现在今日基督徒的文章中，“2016年欧洲五位基督徒明星”，2014年，太阳报引用他的INS “信仰一直对我都很重要。生活源于卢尔德。上帝是伟大的。”
