runner-up 亚军

亚军指在竞赛中比较冠军次一名的参与者。在文言文，亚字带有次级的意思。例如，西周时代，有一职级称为亚卿，就是比较正卿低一个级别；项羽称范增为“亚父”，表示他比生父次一级的意思。后来，人们就以亚军称呼比赛中的第二名。

In a competition, the runner-up is usually the person who comes in second place. In the Olympics, an athlete who wins a silver medal can be called a runner-up.

在比赛中，runner-up通常指的是第二名。在奥运会上，获得银牌的运动员可以被称为runner-up。

Italy, with roughly the same population, has won four World Cups and been runner-up in a few more.

而人口差不多相当的意大利，获得四次世界杯冠军和好几次亚军。

second runner-up/ third place 季军
