熬夜看世界杯 25岁中国球迷不幸猝死

 　　A Chinese football fan has reportedly died after staying up on successive nights to watch the World Cup.

　　据报道，一位中国球迷在连续几晚熬夜看世界杯之后猝死。

　　The 25-year-old man from Suzhou, near Shanghai, was found in front of his TV hours after the Netherlands beat Spain 5-1 in their first round game on Friday, which finished at around 5am Chinese time, and doctors said his death could have been caused by sleep deprivation¹.

　　猝死男子今年25岁，来自苏州。周五第一轮小组赛中荷兰队以5:1大胜西班牙队，比赛直播到北京时间凌晨五点结束。比赛结束后人们发现这名男子猝死在电视机旁，医生称这有可能是由睡眠极度匮乏导致的。

　　The time difference between Suzhou and Brazil is 11 hours, meaning fans have to stay up through the night to follow the World Cup, and it appears this particular enthusiast² took things a little too far.

　　苏州和巴西的时差有11个小时，这意味着球迷为了看世界杯的直播必须通宵熬夜。但从熬夜看球猝死事件来看，球迷们似乎为这股世界杯的狂潮熬得有点过头了。

　　According to the Xinhua news agency, doctors said the death was related to an excessive lack of sleep, but couldn't be sure whether it was sheer exhaustion³ or a possible heart attack.

　　据新华社消息，医生称该球迷猝死和睡眠极度匮乏密切相关，但也不排除疲惫过度和心脏病突发等原因。

　　This is not a new problem in China, whose time zone rarely tallies⁴ with whoever is hosting the World Cup, and similar problems were reported for both the 2006 and 2010 tournaments.

　　在中国，因时差熬夜看直播并不是什么新鲜事，因为中国所在的时区很少会和世界杯的主办国相契合。2006年和2010年的世界杯也报道过有类似的事情发生。
