英国少女在大桥上贴“暖心卡” 挽救6条生命

A teenager who wrote dozens of uplifting notes and attached them to a bridge in England helped saved six lives, police said Sunday.

警方星期天说，英国的某少年在一座大桥上贴了几十张写着振奋人心的文字的小卡片，这些卡片已经挽救了6条生命。

Paige Hunter, 18, attached more than 40 "heartfelt notes" to the Wearmouth Bridge in Sunderland in an effort to "offer solace to people facing a mental health crisis," Northumbria Police said in a news release.

佩奇·亨特，今年18岁，她已经在森德兰韦尔茅斯大桥贴了40多张“暖心”小卡片，为“那些正在遭受心理健康危机的人提供安慰“，诺森布里亚警方在星期天的一个新闻发布会上说。

The notes included such messages as, "Even though things are difficult, your life matters; you’re a shining light in a dark world, so just hold on."

比如其中一卡片上写着：“即使世事不遂人愿，但生命可贵。你是黑暗世界中的一盏明灯，只要坚持下去就有希望。”

Hunter, a student at East Durham College, returned to the bridge this week, where she was presented with a framed certificate by Pitt commending her good deed.

亨特还在东杜伦大学读书，她本周回到韦尔茅斯大桥接受了嘉奖，当地警局官员皮特为她颁发了镶框的荣誉证书，奖励她的善行。

"We thought it was important to applaud the work Paige has been doing and the help she has given those in Sunderland who are going through a mental health crisis," Chief Superintendent Sarah Pitt said.

首席负责人莎拉·皮特说：“我们应该为佩奇所做的一切和她为住在森德兰的那些面临心理健康危机的人所提供的帮助鼓掌，我认为这非常重要。”

Pitt added that Hunter "should be very proud of herself" and went on to say, "It is important that we encourage people to speak out and raise awareness of mental health issues and the impact on peoples’ lives."

皮特补充说，佩奇也“应该为自己所做的一切感到自豪“，她还说，”我们鼓励人们说出自己的困惑，这有助于引起大家对心理健康问题以及它给人们的生活带来的影响的关注。“

Hunter said she posted the notes because she wanted to help people, and called the response she’s received "inspiring."

佩奇表示，她当时贴上这些卡片是因为她想帮助这些陷入困境的人，而她收到的回应“令人欢欣鼓舞“。

"I wasn’t doing this for an award; it was just something that I wanted to do," the teen added. "It’s just amazing, the response it has had."

佩奇说：“我这样做不是为了奖励，而是我真的想这样”，这位少年说，“这很美好，我也得到了我想要的结果。”
