「no jump」聽錯變「now jump」 笨豬跳導師英文差累死少女
「no jump」聽錯變「now jump」 笨豬跳導師英文差累死少女
【星島日報報道】荷蘭17歲少女在西班牙北部玩「笨豬跳」時,因導師英文太差,向少女表示「不要跳」(no jump)時,少女誤聽成「現在跳」(now jump),結果她從橋面一躍而下,直墮40米一個乾涸河牀,當場身亡。
案件近日在西班牙北部坎塔布里亞法院開審。事發在兩年前,17歲少女莫爾在坎塔布里亞一座橋上玩「笨豬跳」。當時安全繩已繫在少女身上,但繩子並未穩固綁在橋上。結果當導師向少女表示「no jump(不要跳)」時,少女一時誤聽成「now jump(現在跳)」,結果釀成今次意外。
導師事後被控。法官表示,被告應該檢查少女的身份證,確保她年滿18歲,並指被告的英文「十分差」。法官又認為,莫爾的死可以避免,如果導師當時說「don't jump(別跳)」代替「no jump」,或可避免死者聽錯。
另外,根據西班牙當地的法律規定,肇事地點的橋梁並不適合「笨豬跳」。

A teenager fell to her death when she bungee jumped off a bridge without being secured to anything, after she misunderstood her instructor’s ‘very bad’ English, according to court papers.
Vera Mol, 17, allegedly misheard the man’s instruction of ‘no jump’ as ‘now jump’, because of his poor pronunciation and English skills.

Now the instructor, who has not been named, has appeared in court accused of causing the Dutch girl’s death.
Judges in the court of Cantabria, northern Spain, described the instructor’s English as ‘macarronico’ or ‘very bad’.
The court heard how Ms Mol jumped from the bridge of Cabezon de la Sal, Cantabria in 2015.

The instructor is alleged to have shouting ‘no jump’, but due to his poor pronunciation, the teenager believed he had said ‘now jump’ and threw herself from the ledge.
But the rope she was attached to was not to tied to anything else and she plunged to her death.

It is reported that the instructor was supposed to have said ‘don’t jump’ instead of no jump’ to avoid communication problems.
Judges also say the instructor should have also checked for ID to make sure the teenager was 18 years old.
It was heard how tragic Vera Mol died after a misunderstanding during the jumping process.

The bridge is also not supposed to be used for bungee jumping, according to Spanish regulations.
Flowtrack, who run the bungee jumping company which employed the man have said it was an accident.

Martijn Klom from the company said the girl’s death was caused by a misunderstanding when she was receiving instructions for the jump.
According to Mr Klom, the girl jumped when she was tied by the rope, but without being secured to the bridge.
