新华社报道如下:
China's Dutch-born head coach Arie Hann is ready to take whatever the consequence at the eve of the team's do-or-die World Cup qualifying battle against Hong Kong of China.
China's hopes of advancing to the 2006 World Cup finals could disappear on Wednesday if they fail to win by a big margin.
Beleaguered Hann apparently felt the pressure as all the Chinese sports media and soccer fans are closely watching the game.
Do-or-die表示“不屈不挠的,孤注一掷的,生死关头的”,例如:The force faces do-or-die clash against the enemy.(这支部队面临着和敌人的生死决战。)
不过,阿里汉补充说:“可能在这一刻会毁掉我们一些梦想,但是有一点请大家相信,这不是中国足球的末日。”
