A NYPD officer used his native Cantonese language to save the life of a suicidal Chinese man who was threatening to jump off a bridge on Monday afternoon.

一位纽约警官在周一下午，用他家乡的广东方言劝下了一位试图跳桥自杀的中国人。

Officer Yi Huang rushed to help his colleagues when they discovered the despondent man, who was teetering on the edge of New York’s Verrazano Bridge, only spoke Chinese.

当警察们发现了这名在纽约费雷泽诺桥边缘发抖的中国人只会讲中文时，黄一警官赶过来支援他的同事。

During four hours of tense negotiations, Huang discovered that the man was from his hometown,Taishan in China's southern Guangdong province, according to the NYPD.

根据纽约警方的描述，在经过4个小时紧张的交涉后，黄一发现这名男子来自于他的老家，广东省南部的台山市。

When responding officers realised that the man did not speak English they called Huang, who managed to arrive at the scene quickly and begin his efforts to coax the man to safety.

当先前的警官发现这名男子不会说英语时，他们立即找来了黄一。黄一即刻抵达了现场并且开始劝说该男子回到桥面上的安全地带。
