澳大利亞電臺惡搞英王室釀悲劇 受騙護士自殺身亡

The chairman of the Australian radio network at the heart of a hoax call targeting Prince William's pregnant wife has called the apparent suicide of one of the nurses duped by the prank "truly tragic."
澳大利亞某廣播謊冒電話詢問凱特王妃孕情，造成牽涉其中的一名護士自殺身亡。澳大利亞廣播網絡的主席近日對此事做出迴應，表示因爲惡作劇造成的死亡事件“非常不幸”。

"It is too early to know the full details leading to this tragic event and we are anxious to review the results of an investigation," Southern Cross Austereo's Max Moore-Wilton wrote Sunday in a letter to the head of King Edward VII's Hospital in London.
涉案的廣播臺屬於澳大利亞的南十字星廣播集團。該集團主席麥克斯·摩爾-威爾頓週日在致倫敦德華七世國王醫院主席的信中這樣寫到：“現在還不清楚導致悲劇事件的完整細節，但我們承諾會審查檢討整個事件過程。”

The hospital, where a nurse apparently committed suicide after being duped by two DJs from Australian radio station 2DayFM, has condemned the radio station in a strongly worded letter.
倫敦德華七世國王醫院的一位護士在澳大利亞2DayFM廣播的主播惡作劇電話後，疑似因此自殺身亡。事件發生後，醫院方面措辭強硬，致信譴責他們的惡劣行徑。

The DJs, impersonating Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, called the hospital Tuesday and gained information about the condition of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge -- which they subsequently played on air.
週二，兩名主播冒充英國女王伊麗莎白二世和查爾斯王儲，致電醫生詢問凱特王妃的懷孕近況，後來還將整個對話的音頻發佈出來。

On Friday, the nurse who transferred the call through to the ward, Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead.
週五，當時將電話轉接入病房的值班護士薩爾達尼亞被發現死在宿舍中。

The fallout from Saldanha's death has stretched from Britain to Australia -- with questions being raised about how far is too far in the effort to find out details about Catherine's pregnancy.
薩爾達尼亞死亡事件的影響從英國蔓延到了澳大利亞，人們紛紛質疑：媒體通過這樣的方式挖掘凱特王妃懷孕的細節，是不是太過了？

The two Australian DJs behind the practical joke, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, have come under fire, with some using the phrase "blood on your hands" to condemn their actions on the Sydney-based radio station.
撥打惡作劇電話的兩名澳大利亞主播分別叫梅爾·格雷格和邁克爾·克里斯蒂安，在事件發生後也遭到了民衆的譴責。甚至有人用“手上沾滿鮮血” 來譴責他們的行爲。2DayFM廣播的總部位於悉尼市。

The DJs have since apologized, and "mutually decided" to go off the air for an undetermined period, Rhys Holleran, CEO of the Southern Cross Austereo media group, said Saturday during a news conference.
這兩名主播也在事件後道歉。澳大利亞南十字星廣播集團行政總裁里斯·霍勒倫在週六的新聞發佈會上表示，他們會被無限期停職。

But he defended the legality of the station's action, saying he was "very confident that we haven't done anything illegal."
不過他也爲2DayFM廣播的行爲進行了辯護，表示“相信我們並沒有做任何違法的事情。”

Prince William and his pregnant wife Kate told how they are 'deeply saddened' by the tragedy. A Palace spokesman said the couple had not made a complaint about the prank call.
威廉王子夫婦發表聲明，對薩爾達尼亞的死“深表哀悼”。王室發言人還強調，他們沒有就惡作劇事件向院方投訴過。
