　　"One challenge... is the American President who is coming, not coming, coming, not coming," national police commissioner Bheki Cele told parliament in a briefingon security for the June 11-July 11 tournament.

　　世界杯足球賽將于6月11日至7月11日在南非舉行。該國警察總長貝奇?賽勒在向國會報告世界杯安保工作情況時說：“一個最大的問題是……美國總統(tǒng)是來還是不來？”

　　"Our famous prayer is that they don't make the second round," he told the parliamentary police committee. "They get eliminated and they go home because we aretold that if they go to the second or third stage, the American president might come."

　　他向國會警務(wù)委員會報告說：“我們都在祈禱美國隊在首輪被淘汰。他們被淘汰了，就能早點回國。因為我們得知如果美國隊打進第二輪或第三輪，美國總統(tǒng)可能就會來。”
