几乎是单人匹马带领阿根廷队赢得1986年世界杯冠军的伟大足球运动员马拉多纳上周去世了，请看本报周五的报道：

Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players in soccer history who almost single-handedly led his native Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title, has died after suffering a heart attack, the country’s football federation said Wednesday. He was 60.

Maradona had long battled heath problems since his playing days ended. Earlier this month, he underwent brain surgery in Buenos Aires and was only discharged from the hospital two weeks ago.

Maradona was seen as a God-like figure in Argentina after winning the World Cup. Right up until his death, he was revered in the country more than Lionel Messi, who is now considered by most as the greatest player ever.

报道中的single-handedly就是“全凭一己之力，在没有别人帮助的情况下”。例如：

She single-handedly supported the family after her husband’s death.

丈夫去世后，她凭一己之力养活全家。
