Beckham operation a success after Achilles rupture

小贝脚后跟跟腱断裂手术成功

（**Achilles是希腊神话中刀枪不入的勇士，其脚后跟是唯一的致命弱点。此处用了这个典故，既指小贝同一部位受伤，又指事件影响力对其致命

The surgeon（外科医生） who operated on David Beckham's ruptured Achilles tendon（跟腱） has deemed（认为，相信，视为） the procedure as "a success".

The severity（严重性） of the injury means Beckham could be out（出局，被淘汰。要炒某人鱿鱼也可以说you are out） for up to six months, said surgeon Sakari Orava, ending his 2010 World Cup hopes. （终结了他参加2010年世界杯的希望）

The 34-year-old was aiming to represent （代表。。。出赛）England in a fourth World Cup but was injured playing for AC Milan on Sunday.

Beckham's spokesman said the midfielder （中场球员）was expected to make a full recovery （完全恢复）from the 50-minute procedure（此处指治疗进程）.

The former England captain（队长）, who is in his second loan stint （租借合同）with AC Milan from LA Galaxy, suffered the injury（受伤） in the final minute of Milan's win over Chievo.

"Following a scan（扫描）, David Beckham's left Achilles was found to be ruptured," said the player's spokesman.

"Professor Sakari Orava performed a successful operation（实施成功的手术） today, repairing the tendon completely.

"David is expected to make a full recovery. Professor Sakari Orava will conduct a further examination（进行更深入的检查） on Tuesday, when a programme for rehabilitation （康复性治疗）will be finalised.

"David wants to thank everyone who has given him messages of support - it meant a lot to him."

Orava, who carried out the 50-minute procedure, said: "The operation went smoothly（指手术顺利成功） and nicely."

Asked whether Beckham would be able to play in the World Cup that starts on 11 June, Orava replied: "No, I don't think so... healing （痊愈）takes a long time.

"It is difficult to say how long the recovery period （康复期）will be but I would guess it will be three or four months and for example for running it usually takes four or five months until one can do it properly."

Beckham was unchallenged（未受冲撞） when he suffered the injury and limped off （一瘸一拐地走）before being carried away on a stretcher（担架）.

He left his hotel in Milan on Monday morning with his father Ted and flew to Turku in south western Finland to undergo（正在进行中的） surgery at the clinic of orthopaedic（整形外科） surgeon Orava.

The severity of the injury has prompted speculation （引发猜测）that Beckham's career could be over（职业生涯将结束）, but before the operation the former England captain's spokesman insisted（坚称）: "This is not the end of his playing career（职业生涯） as has been suggested.

"Even if David does miss the World Cup, he is aiming to play [with LA Galaxy] towards the end of the Major League Soccer season（赛季）."

England coach （教练，这个词还可以指长途汽车）Fabio Capello, who has yet to finalise his squad（队伍，这里指球员的选编） for the World Cup, said Beckham would be a loss for the finals in South Africa.

"David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow（重大打击）," he said.

In 2006, Beckham suffered an Achilles injury during England's World Cup quarter-final（四分之一决赛） defeat by （被。。。击败）Portugal but recovered in time to play for Real Madrid in their first game of the Spanish season eight weeks later.

AC Milan coach Leonardo commented（指发表意见，声明）: "Beckham's injury makes us feel terrible. He understood immediately that he had torn his Achilles tendon.
