6) The Germans got it right
We all know: the blueprint after the failure in Euro 2000, the investment in youth football, the partnership with the Bundesliga clubs. England were abject in Euro 2000 and the FA decided to resolve the problem by spending £5 million a year on whoever was the most attractive manager on the market, while the Premier League nonchalantly kept counting its cash. It’s become a cliché but that doesn’t make it any less true: the Germans actually attended to the grass roots of their game and, funnily enough, they produce excellent footballers and a national team of which to be proud.

6)德国的做法是对的
我们都知道：德国在2000年欧洲杯上失利后即着手绘制蓝图，大力投资青年足球运动，与德甲俱乐部合作。英格兰在2000年欧洲杯上的表现也很糟糕，然而英格兰足协却决定每年把500万英镑花在市场上最具吸引力的教练身上来解决这个问题，而英超联赛则在若无其事地数钱。下面的话虽然没有一点新鲜感，但一点不假：德国人将绿茵场上的运动推向草根，有趣的是，他们培养出了出色的足球运动员和一支为之骄傲的国家队。
二、汉译英
自我感知年龄的状况将会改变，使得实施介入措施变得可能。那些觉得自己比实际年龄大的人可以通过健康暗示来增强其对于衰老的积极行为和态度。好消息是，你可以改变自己对年纪的感知。其他的研究也表明，心态年轻除了能延长寿命外，还益处多多。最近有研究发现，通过对老年人讲积极鼓舞的话，帮助他们对年龄保持乐观的心态的方式，能在短短四周内，提高老年人的身体机能：如平衡能力，从椅子上站起来的能力。2013年的一项研究发现，不论他们的实际心理能力如何，对衰老的消极刻板印象和记忆力衰退会使老年人感到自己比实际年龄老五岁。

【版本1】
Self-perceived age has the potential to change, so interventions may be possible. People who feel older than their real age could be targeted with health messages to promote positive health behaviors and attitudes towards aging. The good news is that you can change your feelings about your age. And other studies indicate that believing yourself to be younger can bring many benefits including a longer life. One recent study found that helping older people have positive feelings toward age by showing them positive word associations helped older adults improve in physical tasks, like balancing and getting up out of a chair, in as little as four weeks. Research in 2013 discovered that no matter what older people’s real mental capabilities are, their negative image of aging and forgetfulness can make them feel five years older.
【版本2】
The fact that perceived age can change makes preventive measures possible, and therefore individuals who feel older than their actual age could be provided with health tips to enhance their positive behaviors and attitudes about aging. Here is the good news: You can change your perception of how young you are; and other studies suggest that there could be other benefits to thinking yourself younger besides a longer life. One recent study found that communicating positive words to the participants and helping them to be optimistic about their age helped them improve their physical abilities such as balancing and getting up from a chair in a period of just four weeks. A 2013 study found that negative stereotypes of aging and poor memory can make older adults feel up to five years older regardless of their actual mental abilities.
