Suicide prevention app trial 預防自殺App展開測試   ◎國際新聞中心

An NHS mental health trust is working with US researchers to develop an app that may stop people from killing themselves.

Three men rescued from remote island after writing ’help’ on the sand 在偏遠島嶼的沙灘寫下「HELP」，3人獲救   ◎蔡子岳

They had no choice but to swim.

他們只能游泳，別無選擇。

The three men had left just hours earlier when a large wave capsized their 19-foot skiff on Monday night. They swam through two miles of dark water before finding salvation：the tiny Pacific Island of Fanadik, several hundred miles north of Papua New Guinea.

週一晚間出海後沒幾小時，這3個人的19英尺舢舨就被大浪掀翻。他們在黑暗海水中游了2英里才抵達待援處：位於巴布亞紐幾內亞北方數百英里處的太平洋小島費奈迪克島。

For three days, the men remained stranded on the uninhabited island, hoping for help. In the end, their own ingenuity would facilitate their rescue：The crew aboard a Navy plane spotted the men waving life jackets, standing next to piles of palm leaves arranged to spell out four capital letters：H-E-L-P.

他們被困在這座無人島上3天，期待救援。最後，他們憑藉自己的才智讓救援提早到來：一架美國海軍軍機上的機員，發現這3人站在以棕櫚樹排出的大寫H-E-L-P字母旁邊，揮舞救生衣。

The Coast Guard was first notified that they were missing just before noon on Tuesday, after which it immediately issued an urgent broadcast seeking assistance from the Navy and vessels in the area of the skiff's last known location. Two cargo ships helped by conducting a combined 17-hour search. The Navy plane that ultimately spotted the men set off Thursday at 6 a.m., taking just about two hours to find them.

海岸巡防隊是在週二午前得知有3人失蹤，隨即發出緊急廣播，尋求舢舨最後出現位置區域中的海軍及民間艦艇協助。兩艘貨船伸出援手，協同搜尋共17小時。週四清晨6點出發的海軍軍機，只花了約2小時就發現他們。

capsize：動詞，翻覆、傾覆（船隻）。例句：Five people drowned on Saturday as a boat carrying migrants and refugees from Turkey capsized off a Greek island.（從土耳其出發的難民船週六翻覆於一座希臘島嶼外海，5人溺斃。）

salvation：名詞，救助、救贖。例句：Leo Tolstoy — ’Salvation does not lie in the rituals and profession of faith, but in a lucid understanding of the meaning of one’s life.’（托爾斯泰：「救贖不存在於關於信念的儀式或職業，而存在於對於生命意義的明晰瞭解之中。」）

set off：動詞，出發。例句：Joint Russia/Europe rocket successfully sets off on long journey to Red Planet.（俄羅斯／歐洲聯合火箭順利展開前往紅色星球火星的漫長航程。）
