A college student in China leaped to his death after losing more than $3,000 gambling on the World Cup, state media reported Tuesday.

據(jù)法新社報(bào)道，中國(guó)國(guó)家媒體周二（24日）消息，一位中國(guó)大學(xué)生因世界杯博彩輸?shù)?.8萬(wàn)多元人民幣而跳樓輕生。

The second-year student, identified only by his surname Lin, jumped from the seventh floor of a building on his campus on Monday, the Information Times said, citing a witness.

據(jù)《信息時(shí)報(bào)》援引一位目擊者的話說(shuō)，事件發(fā)生在周一，一位大學(xué)二年級(jí)林姓學(xué)生從校園里一棟樓的7層跳下。

"I heard him say 'do not force me' and 'give me two more days and I'll return you the money'," the report quoted the witness as saying.

報(bào)道引述目擊者的原話說(shuō)：“我聽(tīng)到他說(shuō)‘別逼我’，‘再給我兩天時(shí)間我會(huì)把錢(qián)還上的’這樣的話。”

"He talked on the phone for more than 10 minutes. I saw him hang up and stand up and then all in a sudden he just disappeared," she said.

目擊者描述：“他通了十幾分鐘電話，我看他掛斷電話后站了起來(lái)，后來(lái)一下就消失了?！?/p>

Lin was rushed to hospital in Panyu in the southern province of Guangdong, but doctors were not able to revive him, the newspaper said.

報(bào)道稱(chēng)，這位林姓學(xué)生被緊急送往廣東番禺的醫(yī)院，但是最終醫(yī)生無(wú)法挽救他的生命。

Another student described as a classmate of Lin's said the gambler had lost nearly 20,000 yuan ($3,200) in bets on several World Cup games, it said.

另一位他的同班同學(xué)透露，這位林姓學(xué)生參與了幾場(chǎng)世界杯比賽的投注，輸?shù)袅?萬(wàn)多元人民幣。

"We heard that he borrowed quite a lot of money and the interest rate was rather high," said the student, according to the report.

據(jù)報(bào)道，這位知情同學(xué)說(shuō)：“我們聽(tīng)說(shuō)他借了很多錢(qián)，而且是高利貸?！?/p>

It did not specify which teams Lin had backed.

報(bào)道中并未提到小林具體投注了哪支球隊(duì)。

China has millions of football fans, some of who are both devoted viewers and passionate gamblers.

中國(guó)有數(shù)百萬(wàn)球迷，一些人既是熱血球迷也是鐵桿彩民。

Sales of a government-run World Cup-related lottery reached four billion yuan by Saturday, nearly twice the 2.3 billion yuan sold during the 2010 tournament, the China News Service reported Tuesday.

據(jù)中新社周二報(bào)道，政府運(yùn)營(yíng)的世界杯彩票（國(guó)家體彩）投注額截止周六達(dá)到40億元人民幣，是2010年世界杯23億投注額的近兩倍。

Total sales of the tickets are expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, it said, citing an official with the General Administration of Sport.

據(jù)國(guó)家體育總局一位官員透露，彩票總銷(xiāo)售額將有望突破100億元人民幣。
