In the Round of 32 in Miami Gardens, defending champions Argentina survived a monumental scare to defeat debutants Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time, securing the win in the 111th minute through an own goal by Diney Borges. Cape Verde, with a population of just over 500,000, made history as the smallest country ever to reach the knockouts. Lionel Messi opened the scoring with his 20th career World Cup goal, while Cape Verde's 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha made eight spectacular saves to help level the score twice. Despite the exit, the "Blue Sharks" earned global respect.

在德克萨斯州阿灵顿，埃及队在常规时间与加时赛同澳大利亚战成1-1平，最终通过点球大战以4-2击败对手，历史上首次晋级世界杯16强。埃及队长萨拉赫克服腿筋拉伤带伤踢满120分钟，并在点球大战中罚入一记自信的“勺子点球”。澳大利亚在加时赛后期换上经验丰富的门将马修·瑞安进行点球决胜赌博，但瑞安未能扑出埃及队的任何一记点球，最终由霍萨姆·阿卜杜勒马吉德罚入致胜点球。

In Arlington, Texas, Egypt drew 1-1 with Australia through extra time before winning the penalty shootout 4-2 to reach the Round of 16 for the first time in their history. Egypt captain Mohamed Salah overcame a hamstring strain to play all 120 minutes and converted a "Panenka" penalty during the shootout. Australia substituted veteran goalkeeper Mathew Ryan on late in extra time for the shootout, but Ryan failed to stop any of Egypt's four successful penalties, with Hossam Abdelmaguid scoring the winner.

2026年7月4日，美国迎来建国250周年纪念日，但一场席卷美国中部和东部地区的极端热浪给这一历史性时刻蒙上了阴影。根据美国国家气象局的数据，超过1.5亿人正处于高温预警之下，多地酷热指数预计将达到华氏115度（摄氏46度）。出于安全考虑，费城取消了原定于周五举行的游行，华盛顿特区的国家公园管理局也取消了原定于周六上午的年度国庆游行。设在国家广场上展示美国50个州风采的“大美州博览会”也在数人因高温不适接受治疗后，于周五下午临时关闭。

The United States celebrated its 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, under the shadow of a dangerous heatwave blanketing the central and eastern regions. According to the National Weather Service, over 150 million people are under heat alerts, with peak heat index values projected to reach 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). Due to safety concerns, Philadelphia canceled its Friday parade, and the National Park Service canceled Washington D.C.'s annual Independence Day Parade scheduled for Saturday morning. The Great American State Fair on the National Mall was also temporarily closed on Friday afternoon after multiple visitors were treated for heat-related illnesses.

在首都华盛顿，总统唐纳德·特朗普计划在国家广场举行一场“壮观集会”并发表长篇演讲，活动还安排了每小时一次的军机飞越和大型烟花表演。但这场庆典也伴随着政治争议，反对者指责特朗普将国家周年庆典政治化，且数个受邀音乐表演嘉宾在名单公布后不久便宣布退出。此外，持续的高温也使美国的电网面临严峻考验，最大电网运营商PJM在周五下午收到联邦警报，要求在其覆盖数千万人口的区域内削减电力消耗。

In Washington D.C., President Donald Trump planned a "spectacular rally" on the National Mall featuring hourly military flyovers and a massive fireworks display. However, the celebrations were marked by political friction, with opponents accusing Trump of politicizing the national milestone, leading several scheduled musical acts to withdraw shortly after their announcement. Additionally, the persistent heat strained energy infrastructure, prompting a federal alert for PJM Interconnection, the nation's largest power grid operator, to reduce electricity consumption across its territory serving tens of millions.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于2026年7月3日周五晚在南达科他州拉什莫尔山发表了半小时的演讲，正式拉开了美国独立250周年纪念活动的序幕。在四位前总统的巨型石雕下，特朗普大力宣扬美国例外论，称美国是“有史以来最杰出的国家”，并承诺夺回国家的文化认同。然而，在爱国主义言论之外，他将矛头指向政治对手，警告称美国正面临其所描述的复苏的“共产主义威胁”，并将进步派民主党人和民主社会主义者定性为“1776年7月4日的敌人”。

US President Donald Trump delivered a half-hour speech at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota on Friday evening, July 3, 2026, kicking off the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations. Speaking beneath the granite carvings of four predecessor presidents, Trump extolled American exceptionalism, declaring the United States the 'most exceptional nation ever to exist' and promising to reclaim its cultural identity. However, the patriotic address also featured sharp political rhetoric, as Trump warned of a resurgent 'communist menace' and framed progressive Democrats and democratic socialists as 'the enemy of July 4th, 1776.'

在演讲中，特朗普还特别赞扬了美国的军事力量，提及美国在一天内击败委内瑞拉并打击了伊朗，以此展示其强硬立场。此次演讲正值11月中期选举临近，选民正面临通胀和能源价格高企的压力，外界普遍认为特朗普的言论旨在为选举造势、打击政治对手并提升自身政治地位。

During the address, Trump also praised US military power, referencing actions involving Venezuela and Iran to showcase his strong stance. The speech comes ahead of the November midterm elections, serving as a political platform to boost his standing at a time when voters are concerned over persistent inflation and elevated energy prices.

伊朗于2026年7月4日星期六正式开始为已故最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊举行落葬前的六天公开葬礼仪式。2026年2月28日，在美以对伊战争爆发的首日，时年86岁的哈梅内伊在针对其德黑兰官邸的联合空袭中丧生。受持续战事影响，其葬礼被推迟了近四个月。葬礼仪式在德黑兰伊玛目霍梅尼大清真寺拉开帷幕，哈梅内伊及其遇难家属的棺木在此公开展出。伊朗当局预计仅德黑兰一地在未来三天内就将有1500万至2000万人参与悼念。

Iran officially began six days of public funeral ceremonies on Saturday, July 4, 2026, for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei was killed at the age of 86 in a joint United States-Israeli airstrike on his official residence in Tehran on February 28, 2026, which marked the first day of the war. Active fighting delayed the funeral rites for nearly four months. The ceremonies commenced at the Grand Mosalla in Tehran, where the caskets of Khamenei and his deceased family members were displayed. Iranian authorities expect between 15 million and 20 million participants to attend the tributes in Tehran alone over the next three days.

哈梅内伊的遗体将在德黑兰停灵至周一，随后将运往什叶派圣地库姆以及邻国伊拉克，最终于周四在其家乡、什叶派圣城马什哈德安葬。受葬礼活动影响，由卡塔尔和巴基斯坦斡旋的美伊和平谈判目前处于暂停状态，预计将在葬礼纪念活动结束后恢复。美国总统特朗普在拉什莫尔山的演讲中提及了这一进展，称给伊朗“放假一周”以举行葬礼，并表示伊朗非常渴望达成和解。

The late leader's coffin will lie in state in the capital until Monday, before traveling to the holy city of Qom and neighboring Iraq, with final burial scheduled for Thursday in his hometown of Mashhad. Due to the funeral, peace talks between the United States and Iran, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, have been temporarily paused and are expected to resume after the commemorations. US President Donald Trump referenced the pause during his speech at Mount Rushmore, stating that he gave Iran a 'week off' for the ceremonies and asserting that they are eager to settle.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周五（2026年7月3日）宣布特赦11人，其中包括9名因违反《清洁空气法》而被定罪的个人，以及已被定罪的重罪犯、前华盛顿游说大亨杰克·阿布拉莫夫的一名前商业伙伴。被特赦的环保法律违反者涉及在车辆上禁用排放监控系统，或销售能够绕过排放系统的“失效装置”设备。特朗普在Truth Social平台上称，其中因“修车”而违反清洁空气和排放法律的6人受到了拜登政府的“迫害”，是“武器化司法部”的受害者，并宣布立即释放他们。

US President Donald Trump issued pardons for 11 people on Friday, July 3, 2026, including nine individuals convicted of violating the Clean Air Act and a former business partner of convicted felon and disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The environmental law violators had faced charges for disabling vehicle emissions monitoring systems or selling "defeat devices" that bypass emissions controls. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that six of the men pardoned for "fixing their car" were "persecuted by the Biden Administration" and were victims of a weaponized Justice Department, declaring their immediate release.

在此次特赦之前，特朗普的司法部已于今年早些时候命令联邦检察官撤销与用于绕过排放控制的“失效装置”相关的刑事调查，并放弃相关未决案件。此外，特赦名单中还包括一名曾承认参与涉及阿布拉莫夫欺诈案的特朗普政治支持者。此举被指利用宽免权帮助政治盟友并进一步削弱环保法律。

The move follows a decision by Trump's Justice Department earlier this year, which ordered federal prosecutors to drop criminal investigations and abandon pending cases related to "defeat devices" used to bypass emissions controls. The pardons also included a political supporter who pleaded guilty in a fraud involving Abramoff, representing a use of clemency power that critics say undermines environmental laws and helps political allies.

流行乐巨星泰勒·斯威夫特与美式橄榄球球星特拉维斯·凯尔斯于2026年7月3日星期五在纽约市麦迪逊广场花园正式完婚，为两人长达三年的恋情画上圆满句号。斯威夫特的发言人证实，两人的婚礼由好友兼喜剧演员亚当·桑德勒主持，新郎新娘均身着迪奥定制礼服。这场婚礼打破了传统，未设伴娘和伴郎，而是由斯威夫特的弟弟奥斯汀·斯威夫特担任“荣誉伴郎”，凯尔斯的哥哥、已退役的橄榄球球星杰森·凯尔斯担任伴郎。

Pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce officially married on Friday, July 3, 2026, during a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City, capping a three-year relationship. According to a statement from Swift's publicist, the ceremony was officiated by comedian Adam Sandler, a close friend of the couple, and both the bride and groom wore custom Christian Dior designs. The couple chose not to have traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen; instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her Man of Honor, and Kelce's brother, retired NFL star Jason Kelce, served as the best man.

婚礼当天纽约遭遇了超过华氏100度（摄氏38度）的极端高温，但现场依然众星云集，包括詹妮弗·洛佩兹、艾德·希兰和吉米·法伦在内的众多好莱坞明星和职业运动员均出席了仪式。为了保证隐私，现场实施了严格的安全封锁，并要求宾客签署保密协议。婚礼结束后，麦迪逊广场花园外墙亮起了粉紫色灯光并显示“刚结婚！”字样，帝国大厦也亮起蓝色灯光以示庆祝。

The high-profile event took place during a record-breaking heatwave with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, under strict security measures that reportedly included non-disclosure agreements for guests. Despite the extreme weather, a galaxy of Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes attended the celebration, while both Madison Square Garden and the Empire State Building lit up their exteriors in celebration of the union.
