Two Australian sisters have set an unofficial world record for continuous TV-watching after sitting through 87 hours of uninterrupted World Cup and football coverage.

來(lái)自澳大利亞的一對(duì)姐妹因87小時(shí)不間斷觀看世界杯比賽轉(zhuǎn)播和足球賽事報(bào)道，創(chuàng)下了一項(xiàng)非官方的世界紀(jì)錄。

Football-mad Joanne and Alanah Argyrou, 22 and 24, outlasted two other contenders as they sat for some three-and-a-half days at Sydney's Star City Casino, beating Dutchman Efraim van Oeveren's 86 hours.

這對(duì)超級(jí)足球迷名叫喬安妮和阿拉娜阿吉柔，今年分別為22歲和24歲。（世界杯開(kāi)幕后，）兩人在悉尼的城市之星賭場(chǎng)連續(xù)觀看和比賽有關(guān)的電視節(jié)目長(zhǎng)達(dá)三天半，超過(guò)了另外兩名對(duì)手，并擊敗了荷蘭人埃弗雷姆創(chuàng)下的86小時(shí)的記錄。

The feat -- which awaits confirmation by Guinness World Records -- was monitored by a team of officials who ensured the sisters did not look away from the screen for more than five seconds.

來(lái)自《吉尼斯世界記錄大全》的一組官員對(duì)兩姐妹進(jìn)行了全程監(jiān)督，保證她們的視線(xiàn)離開(kāi)屏幕不超過(guò)5秒鐘。目前這一記錄正在等待《吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄大全》的確認(rèn)。

They were given one five-minute break per hour but were allowed no more than five cups of coffee a day. In between World Cup broadcasts, the women watched recorded matches and football documentaries.

她們每小時(shí)有5分鐘的休息時(shí)間，但每天喝咖啡不能超過(guò)五杯。在比賽轉(zhuǎn)播間隙，兩人繼續(xù)觀看比賽錄像和足球紀(jì)錄片。

澳大利亞在6月14日的比賽中以0比4負(fù)于德國(guó)，出線(xiàn)希望大減。該國(guó)目前正在申辦2022年世界杯。
