英国到目前为止还未有太多自拍致死的案例，但现如今这类事件已遍布世界各地，谁能说萨塞克斯海岸不会是下一个案发地呢？

For this six-mile cliff-top between Newhaven and Beachy Head — a stretch of corrugated peaks and troughs known as the Seven Sisters — has become so popular with selfie-seekers that the locals are about to take pre-emptive action.

在纽黑文和比奇角之间，有一片波澜起伏的山脉，绵延长达六英里，这里的七姐妹悬崖已经成为自拍爱好者们十分青睐的景点，当地人听闻也都纷纷抢先一步前去游览。

Lately, we have seen images of jaw-dropping stupidity as daredevil walkers — mainly young men, it seems — creep to the edge of these chalk faces in considerable numbers for that must-have selfie.

近来在资讯上我们常能看见一些让人跌破眼镜的图片，这些冒失鬼——多是年轻人——成群结队来到悬崖的边缘只为了一张“这辈子一定要拍”的自拍照。

Last summer, a local photographer captured a row of irresponsible people sitting at the site, with their feet dangling over an edge which is not even there any more.

去年夏天，一个本地摄影师在该景点拍下了一张照片，一群人坐在悬崖边缘，他们的腿在空中晃来晃去，但那块崖石现在已经不知所踪了。
