At the end of the nineteenth century, an Englishman living in Brazil sent his son Charles Miller across the Atlantic to be educated in England. During his stay in England, Charles grew passionately keen on football and often sharpened his skills in the playground. In 1894, he packed his bags and returned to his family in Brazil. In his bags, he took a football as a souvenir.
Back in Brazil, Charles was willing to consider and accept other people’s opinions. When he talked to local people about their leisure activities, it suddenly hit him that he could try to get them interested in football. At first he had little success; the only people who showed any interest were young Englishmen who walked on the street; thus the first game of football in Brazil was played between two teams of young Englishmen, on a field from which the goats and cows had been removed.
Charles asked some journalists to come and see this new English game, but none came along. However, as the weeks went past, the scene of twenty - two young people running around after a ball began attracting viewers from schools nearby. Then, young local men began kicking balls around too.
“Balls” is perhaps the wrong word—the only football in Brazil at the time was the one that Charles Miller had brought back with him from England. The Brazilian viewers had to create their own footballs, using cans or whatever they could find to make them with. After a short period of time, these local viewers could defeat the foreign players easily without proper training. They were gifted in playing the game because they could move more quickly and easily with the ball.
Then, the football game became a great attraction in Sao Paulo. By 1901, there was already a league of clubs in Sao Paulo. The football game burst onto the stage of Brazil’s history.

长难句
原句 At first he had little success; the only people who showed any interest were young Englishmen who walked on the street; thus the first game of football in Brazil was played between two teams of young Englishmen, on a field from which the goats and cows had been removed.
分析 “who showed any interest”为who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词people;“who walked on the street”也是who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词Englishmen;“from which the goats and cows had been removed”为from which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词field。
译文 起初他几乎没有成功;唯一表现出兴趣的人是走在街上的年轻的英国人;因此,巴西的第一场足球赛是两支由年轻的英国人组成的球队在一块山羊和奶牛被移走的场地上进行的。
