"Under pain of death" = chịu nỗi đau của cái chết -> nghĩa là buộc phải làm cái gì, nếu không thì phải chết.
Ví dụ
In 1931, the German Government used these registration lists to order the turn-in (giao nộp) of most privately-owned weapons under pain of death. Of course, the good guys complied (tuân theo), and the criminals did not.
Beards (râu) are banned under pain of death, because why not? A school to teach women how to read is burned down (“Woman are for seeding not reading”).
The truth of the matter is no one apart from the UFC president himself. Along with the company that has been contracted to construct (xây dựng) the island infrastructure (cơ sở vật chất) actually know the island location. And I presume (cho là) it must be under pain of death that this location is not leaked to the press (báo chí)?
