▲1970年6月21日巴西第三次拿到世足賽冠軍
6月21日是冬至,但是對巴西人來說,2020年6月21日的意義是巴西拿到世界盃足球賽三冠王的重要日子,2020年剛好是50週年慶。這可是巴西的驕傲啊!因為太重要了,巴西聖保羅頁報(Folha de São Paulo )6月21日重刊一次50年前的頭版,慶祝光榮的時刻。
Yesterday was the winter solstice, but for the Brazilians, June 21, 2020 has another meaning. 50 years ago, Brazil became the Triple Champion of the FIFA World Cup. This is the pride of Brazil! Because it is so important, Brazilian newspaper, Folha de São Paulo, reprinted the front page of 50 years ago on June 21 to celebrate the glorious moment.
▲50年前頭版重新印刷跟2020年的頭版擺在一起看
同時,如果新冠肺炎(Coronavirus)是一個比賽的話,巴西現在也穩坐全世界亞軍,真的是超英趕美。截至6月22日,巴西確診人數超過100萬(1,090,349人),另外死亡人數頗5萬(50,737人),所以星期天聖保羅頁報真正的內頁頭版新聞是報導破五萬的慘狀。
At the same time, Brazil is also becoming a champion in Coronavirus, with more than 1 million diagnoses (1,090,349) and 50,000 deaths (50,737), so the real front page yesterday was about the 50,000 death.

▲每逢週日巴西總統的支持者就會站上街頭
儘管疫情嚴重,聖保羅等地都逐漸恢復商業活動,眼看巴西都要拿冠軍了,巴西總統Jair Bolsonaro的粉絲還是繼續上街抗議示威,以示支持。粉奇怪吧。我希望上帝保守我們平安健康,靠你了耶穌!
Despite the severe situation, São Paulo is reopening. Yesterday I went out and I saw the fans of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro continue to take to the streets to protest and demonstrate their support. Weird sight. May God protect us all.
