English to Indonesian: World cup oracle animals (Para hewan peramal Piala Dunia) General field: Other Detailed field: Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Source text - English Do you remember Paul, the Octopus? He was the star of the 2010 World Cup, being able to guess the winner of Germany's matches. He also guessed the winner of the final. His career started with Euro 2008, and saw him go on to correctly predict 11 out of 13 matches. He used to choose between two boxes containing food with the national flags of each team involved in every match. Unfortunately, he died in the end of 2010.
Paul was not alone. Even Harry the Crocodile guessed the 2010 World Cup winner. Moreover, he was able to predict two consecutive Australian Federal Election results. Nevertheless, he never had the appeal of the German octopus. Neither did Mani do better, a Singapore parrot who guessed all the quarters and semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup, because he failed to guess who would have succeeded between Spain and the Netherlands in the final.
Since Paul’s untimely departure, there has been great competition over who will take his crown. During Euro 2012, there were three animals playing this game: Citta, an Indian elephant living in a zoo in Krakow, Poland; Fred, the Ukrainian ferret who can be followed on Twitter; and Funtik, the Ukrainian soothsayer hog able to correctly predict 2 out of 3 matches.
Who will take the place of Paul the Octopus during the next World Cup? Will it be the parrot blessed by Pope Francis in Saint Peter’s Square, now a star of the Italian national public broadcaster? Or will it be Nelly, the German elephant who has correctly predicted 30 out of 33 match results to date? And of course, do not underestimate the psychic powers of the panda cub supported by Chinese state media.
The Italian parrot named Amore (Italian for love) will give his prediction by choosing the flag of the winning team on a miniature football field. Nelly prefers to predict winners by kicking a ball into either one of the nets with the flags of the competing countries placed before them. Instead, the panda cub will guess the outcome of matches by picking food from boxes marked with flags during the group matches and by climbing a tree flying a flag in the knockout rounds.
Do you have a pet? Would he or she be able to do better? How? Let them give it a shot!
Translation - Indonesian Ingatkah Anda kepada Paul, si Gurita? Dia adalah bintang Piala Dunia 2010, yang mampu menebak pemenang pertandingan melawan Jerman. Paul juga menebak pemenang final Piala Dunia saat itu. Karirnya dimulai sejak Euro 2008, dimana pada saat itu dia meramalkan dengan benar 11 dari 13 pertandingan. Paul biasanya memilih satu di antara dua kotak berisi makanan dengan bendera nasional masing-masing tim yang terlibat dalam setiap pertandingan. Sayangnya, hidup Paul berakhir di penghujung tahun 2010.
Paul bukanlah satu-satunya yang dapat meramalkan hasil pertandingan pada saat itu. Harry, si Buaya, juga mampu menebak siapa yang akan menjadi pemenang Piala Dunia 2010. Bukan hanya itu saja, Harry juga mampu meramalkan dua hasil Pemilu Federal Australia berturut-turut. Namun demikian, ia tidak memiliki daya tarik yang dimiliki Paul, si Gurita Jerman. Mani, burung beo Singapura yang menebak semua pertandingan babak perempat final dan semi-final Piala Dunia 2010, juga bernasib sama karena dia gagal menebak siapa yang akan menjadi pemenang antara Spanyol dan Belanda di babak final.
Sejak kepergian Paul, terjadi kompetisi besar tentang siapa yang akan menggantikan kejayaannya. Selama Euro 2012, ada tiga hewan yang bersaing untuk hal tersebut: Citta, gajah India yang tinggal di kebun binatang di Krakow, Polandia. Fred, musang Ukraina yang memiliki akun Twitter. Dan Funtik, babi peramal dari Ukraina yang mampu meramalkan dengan benar 2 dari 3 hasil pertandingan.
Hewan manakah yang akan menggantikan Paul si Gurita selama Piala Dunia berikutnya? Apakah burung beo yang diberkati oleh Paus Francis di Saint Peter's Square, yang kini menjadi bintang penyiaran publik nasional di Italia? Ataukah Nelly, seekor gajah Jerman yang telah berhasil meramalkan dengan benar 30 dari 33 hasil pertandingan sampai saat ini? Dan tentu saja, jangan meremehkan kekuatan cenayang si anak panda yang didukung oleh media pemerintah China.
Seekor burung beo Italia bernama Amore (bahasa Italia yang berarti cinta) meramalkan dengan memilih bendera tim pemenang yang terdapat di atas miniatur lapangan sepak bola. Nelly lebih memilih untuk meramalkan pemenang dengan menendang bola ke salah satu gawang negara-negara yang bersaing dengan menempatkan bendera mereka di depan gawang. Sebaliknya, si anak panda akan menebak hasil pertandingan dengan memilih makanan dari kotak yang ditandai dengan bendera selama pertandingan grup dan dengan memanjat pohon serta mengibarkan bendera di babak sistem gugur.
Apakah Anda memiliki hewan peliharaan?
Bisakah hewan peliharaan Anda meramalkan lebih baik? Bagaimana caranya?
