What's it like to be soccer superstar Lionel Messi? Iranian Reza Parastesh is rapidly finding out.
成为足球巨星里奥·梅西是一种什么感觉?伊朗的雷扎·帕拉史泰希很快就找到答案了。
The 25-year old student looks exactly like the Barcelona forward -- so much so that he's inundated with attention from fans and the media ever since he started cutting his hair and trimming his beard in the same style as the Argentine.这位25岁的学生长得非常像巴塞罗那的前锋梅西--自从他剪了和这位阿根廷明星一样的发型、留了一样的胡子后,很快就吸引了粉丝和媒体的目光。Put Parastesh in a Barcelona shirt, and it's impossible to tell one from the other.套上一件巴萨的球衣,我们真的很难分辨出俩人来。As well as smiling for all those selfies with his new found fans and dealing with countless media requests, Parastesh's similarity in looks to Messi has also caused a bit of tension with his father in the past.
除了和新粉丝们微笑自拍、处理络绎不绝的媒体需求,雷扎长相酷似梅西在过去也曾导致他和父亲的关系紧张。"After Messi scored a goal against Iran (in the World Cup 2014), my Dad called me and said: "Don't come back home tonight!' Parastesh told AFP news agency.他在接受美联社采访时表示:“2014年世界杯,在和伊朗队的比赛中,梅西打进了一球,父亲打电话给我说,'今晚别回家!'”"I was confused at first but then my Dad asked me: 'Why did you score a goal against Iran?'“一开始我感到很困惑,不过接着父亲就问我了,'你为什么要进球?'”"I said: 'But that wasn't me!' He just responded that he was very furious, and said: "Just don't come back tonight.'"“我说,'但那也不是我啊!'不过他还是很生气,叫我'今晚就是不能回家'。”
