　　●救援费用高达100万英镑

　　这名女子名叫埃米•贝丝•达拉缪若，现年44岁，生活在威尔士西部的阿伯里斯特威斯镇。英国《每日邮报》报道，过去5年里，达拉缪若曾尝试用各种方法在港口、码头以及防波堤等处投海自杀，但均未如愿。

　　50余次的自杀尝试让政府机构头痛不已，仅用于支付紧急救援的费用就高达100万英镑(约合200万美元)。

　　参与救援行动的有警察、海岸警卫队、空军和海军，他们动用了救生艇和救援直升机等设备。 5 n# F: J/ I+ C# M6 \; L

　　2003年1月，驻扎在阿伯里斯特威斯镇的警察西蒙•图德，还因为救助达拉缪若的英勇行为获得奖励。那次，他游到距离岸边270多米的海中才找到达拉缪若。为营救达拉缪若，他甚至解开了系在身上的安全绳索。

　　英国海事和海岸警卫局一名发言人指出：“挽救生命是我们永远的目标。但那些悲观绝望、企图自杀的人确实给我们的紧急救援服务带来很大压力。”

　　今年1月，当地政府对达拉缪若下达反社会行为令，禁止她再进入英国沿海、海滩和阿伯里斯特威斯一些散步场所。

　　由于达拉缪若屡次违反反社会行为令，相关政府部门无奈在阿伯里斯特威斯地方法院对她提起诉讼，并希望对她作出更多限制。达拉缪若于上周出庭。

　　检察官克里斯•詹姆斯在听证会上说：“她显然是在和警方玩精心设计好的猫鼠游戏。有确凿证据证明，她自杀前总是设法让别人知道。”

　　警方和海岸警卫队认为，达拉缪若的自杀行为有可能是她想以此获得同情和帮助，但他们不会再对她实施救助。（来源：新闻晨报）

Amy Beth Dallamura's suicide attempts over the past five years have cost emergency services up to £1million.

The 44-year-old has tried to kill herself by jumping off piers and jetties and wading into the ocean. 2 \- i5 g' g0 H- F

Police, lifeboats, coastguards and the RAF's air and sea rescue helicopters have all been involved in rescuing her.

But police fear her regular "cries for help" are wasting emergency resources and putting lives at risk.

In January, magistrates gave Miss Dallamura an Asbo banning her from entering the sea, beaches and parts of the promenade of her home town of Aberystwyth in west Wales.

On June 23, she had to be airlifted to hospital after going into the sea and being pulled out of the water. Two days later she phoned police threatening to kill herself in the sea. She was found on rocks suffering from hypothermia.
