The World Cup is a gold trophy that is awarded to the winners of the FIFA World Cup association football tournament. Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two trophies have been used: the Jules Rimet Trophy from 1930 to 1970, and the FIFA World Cup Trophy from 1974 to the present-day.
世界杯獎杯時頒發(fā)給國際足聯(lián)世界杯足球比賽冠軍的金制獎杯。自1930年世界杯問世以來，一共用過兩個獎杯：1930年到1970年的雷米特杯和1974年至今的國際足聯(lián)世界杯獎杯（即大力神杯）。
The first trophy, originally named Victory, but later renamed in honor of former FIFA president Jules Rimet, was made of gold plated sterling silver and lapis lazuli and depicted Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. The Brazilian team won the tournament for the third time in 1970, allowing them to keep the real trophy in perpetuity, as had been stipulated by Jules Rimet in 1930. The Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen from Brazilian Football Confederation headquarters in 1983 and never recovered.
第一個獎杯原名叫勝利獎杯，后來為了紀念國際足聯(lián)前主席朱爾斯?雷米特而改名為雷米特杯。該獎杯為標準純銀和青金石鍍金鑄成，造型為希臘神話中的勝利女神——尼克。巴西在1970年第三次捧得獎杯，按照雷米特在1930年制定的規(guī)則，巴西可以永久擁有這個獎杯。1983年，該獎杯在巴西足聯(lián)總部被盜，至今下落不明。
The subsequent trophy, called the "FIFA World Cup Trophy", was introduced in 1974. Made of 18 karat gold with a malachite base, it stands 36.8 centimeters high and weighs 6.1 kilograms. The trophy was designed by Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga. It depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. Gazzaniga described the trophy thus, "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory." The current holder of the trophy is Germany, winner of the 2014 World Cup.
第二個獎杯“國際足聯(lián)世界杯獎杯”于1974年推出，獎杯底座為孔雀石，杯身由18K黃金鑄成，高36.8厘米，重6.1公斤。該獎杯由意大利藝術(shù)家西爾維奧?加扎尼加設(shè)計，其造型為兩個人雙手托起地球。加扎尼加描述的設(shè)計創(chuàng)意是：“線條從底部產(chǎn)生，螺線升起，伸展開來接住地球。在勝利情緒沸騰的時刻，兩個運動員的形象從整個杯身雕刻的動態(tài)拉伸線條中升起。”新近的大力神杯獲得者是德國，2014年世界杯冠軍。
