土耳其男子8个月航海4000公里 赴英追爱却遭遣返

To Ramazan Culum’s mind, it was the ultimate declaration of love.
对于拉马扎·卡勒姆而言，这是爱的终极宣言。

To win the heart of a young British waitress he had met in Cyprus seven years earlier, the Turkish businessman set off on an eight-month odyssey in a tiny yacht, braving stormy seas and travelling 2,500 miles to track her down.
七年前他在塞浦路斯遇到一位来自英国的女服务员，如今为了得到她的芳心，这位土耳其商人开始了他驾船航海8个月的旅程，历经风暴和2500英里的重重磨难，只为追寻他的意中人。

The only problem was that the object of his affections, Courtney Murray, had never indicated any interest in him, and in fact had fled her job in Cyprus to escape his disturbing and persistent overtures.
唯一的问题是，他所钟情的这位叫考特尼·默里的姑娘，一直都对他没有任何兴趣。事实上为了躲开他的打扰和不断的示爱，她甚至放弃了塞浦路斯的工作。

His bizarre journey has now been brought to an abrupt end after he was arrested in a British port on Friday and told he will be deported.
如今他的疯狂之旅遭遇中断，周五他在英国的一个港口被捕，并被告知会被驱逐出境。

This was not enough to deter Culum, however, from a quest that has seen him arrested, lose his job as a company director and, as he put it, get banned from ‘more countries than Osama Bin Laden’.
但这并不足以阻止卡勒姆。这场追爱之旅让他被捕、失去了公司董事长的职业，而且根据他的说法，他被禁止进入的国家“比奥 萨马·本拉登还多”。

The 38-year-old’s obsession is said to have begun in 2005 when he met Miss Murray while on a scuba-diving trip in Northern Cyprus, where she was working in a cafe.
据说，这个38岁的痴情男子的执念开始于2005年在塞浦路斯北部的一次潜水之旅，当时他对默里一见钟情，而她在一家咖啡厅工作。

Although she took ‘no interest’ in Culum and served him just the once, he is said to have stolen her phone number from the cafe’s wall and began harassing her.
虽然她对卡勒姆“一点不感兴趣”，也就只为他服务过一次，但据说他从咖啡厅墙上偷走了她的电话号码，然后开始骚扰她。

Her friends claim Culum showed up at the restaurant several times – once wielding a knife so he could ‘take her’ – and was eventually arrested and deported from Cyprus. Miss Murray was apparently so terrified she returned to her home, thought to be in Liverpool, where she eventually married.
她的朋友说卡勒姆在饭店里出现过几次，甚至有一次还挥舞着一把刀说要“带走她”，不过最后他被逮并被驱逐出塞浦路斯。默里小姐显然十分受惊吓，后来她回到了自己的家乡利物浦，并在那里结了婚。

In early 2011, Culum was still refusing to give up, and tracked Miss Murray down on Facebook, only for her promptly to block him from contacting her on the site.
2011年早些的时候，痴心的卡勒姆仍然不愿放弃，还在Facebook上找寻默里小姐的踪迹，不过默里马上就在社交网站上屏蔽了他。
