众所周知，世界杯32支参赛队伍中注定要有31支要两手空空地回家，在他们追逐胜利的征程上都至少经历过一次心碎时刻。

And how does one commemorate that heartbreak? Well, they only need to look as far as the 2014 World Cup logo to see a perfect symbol of any sorrow or shame that might befall their team. As has been pointed out in many corners the past month, the yellow hand in the logo makes the shape look more like a "facepalm" than the intended World Cup trophy.

如何表达这一心情呢？队员们只需去看看2014巴西世界杯的标志即可，这一标志完美地表现出了当球队被淘汰时那种悲伤羞辱的感觉。正如过去一个月来多方所指出的那样，黄色手掌使这个标志更像一张“捂面无语的脸”，而不是一尊像样的大力神杯。

Noted soccer fan and actor Sir Patrick Stewart turned in the most noted facepalm while potraying Captain Jean Luc-Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," but other instances in popular culture serve as groan-worthy currency when people engage in the online meme.

这就不得不提到大牌演员兼球迷帕特里克·斯图尔特（Patrick Stewart），他在《星际迷航：下一代》中所饰演的皮卡德舰长屡屡上演这一经典动作。如今“捂脸时刻”已在网络流行文化中随处可见。

It's unclear who noticed the similarity at first, but it wasn't a recent discovery. Check out this evolution that came out after Brazil suffered its big loss to the Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinal.

虽然尚不清楚是谁先发现了这一惊人相似之处，但早在巴西队2010世界杯四分之一决赛上负于荷兰时就有人发现了。

Brazilian soccer fans are hoping this logo won't reflect their own World Cup experience this time around.

巴西球迷们希望本次世界杯不会像这标志的“表情”一样让人伤透脑筋。
