Phillips, 　　　Executive Director of Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Center北京自杀研究与预防中心执行主任 Y: Suicide is becoming a serious social problem around the world. Each year, over 250,000 people kill themselves and about 2 million make such attempts. Why should these people kill themselves? What can be done to save their lives? Joining us now is Michael Phillips, Executive Director of Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Center. 自杀现象，正在成为世界范围的严重社会问题。每年都有超过25万的人轻生自杀，大约两百万人自杀未遂。那么，这些人为什么要结束自己的生命呢？有什么办法来防止此类现象的发生呢？ 今天我们请到了北京自杀研究与预防中心执行主任Michael Phillips一起讨论这个问题。 Y: We know China has a high suicide rate, can you give us more details in this regard? 我们知道，中国的自杀率很高，您能不能在这方面详细介绍一下？ P: In fact, the rate of suicide in China isnt one of the highest in the world. It is high but its not at the very highest level. The highest levels are in Russia, in the Eastern European countries, like Latvia, Romania, and Hungary. Chinas rate is on the high-above-medium level. Compared to America or Britain where the suicide rates are about 11 per hundred thousand or 12 per hundred thousand, Chinas suicide rate, by our estimate, is 23 per hundred thousand. So it means its twice as high as that in the United States.实际上中国的自杀率在世界上还不属于最高之列的。不低，但是不是最高。最高的在俄罗斯，在东欧国家，比如拉脱维亚，罗马尼亚，匈牙利。中国属于中等偏上的程度。美国或者英国的自杀率都大约在十万分之11或12左右，中国的，我们估计，是十万分之23。相比之下，中国是美国的两倍。 Y: What are the characteristics of suicide in China? 中国的自杀现象有什么特征呢？ P: In China, suicide is quite different than in other countries. Perhaps the biggest difference is suicide in rural area is three times as high in urban areas. If you look at the pattern of suicide in urban areas in China, its very similar to Western suicide pattern. Thats one characteristic. Ano
