圭亚那🇬🇾在全球排名上往往做得令人失望，但是没到灾难性程度。然而一旦设计自杀，圭亚那则处于最糟糕的极端。一个本月出版的世界卫生组织（WHO）报告给圭亚那的一个年龄标准自杀率为44.2每10万居民。那相比一个世界平均值11.4，也做得相当糟糕了。在两种性别上它排名第三，居于朝鲜和韩国之后，在男性自杀（率）排名第二居于立陶宛（Lithuania）之后。
Guyana tends to do disappointingly, but not disastrously in global rankings. Yet[/But] when it comes to suicide, Guyana is at the worst extreme. A World Health Oraganisation (WHO) report published this month gives Guyana an age-standardisation suicide rate of 44.2 per 100,000 inhabitants. That compares with a world average of 11.4 does [very] badly too. It ranks[lies] third after North and South Korea [for] both sexes, [and] second after Lithuania [for] male suicides.
关于自杀的数据是臭名昭著地不可靠。 出于宗教和文化原因，许多（自杀）没有登记在案。但是圭亚那显然有一个大问题。各地的男人比女人更困难杀死自己，但是圭亚那的比率则严重倾向于男性。许多人喝除草剂，一种特别痛苦又拖久的死亡。大部分（人）居住在农村地区，是中年或老年，尽管媒体报告大多是青少年自杀。
Statistics on suicide are notoriously unreliable. For religious and cultural reasons, many go unrecorded. But Guyana obviously[/clearly] has a big problem. Men everywhere are more likely to kill themselves than women [are], but [the ratios in] Guyana/'s suicide rate/ [are] heavily skewed towards males. Many drink weedkiller, a very[/particularly] distressing and protracted death. Most live in the rural area and [are] middled-aged [or] elderly, despite heavy media coverage of teenage suicides.
这个月发表的发现来自一份研究基于Serena Coultress所做的深度采访。她谈及男人之中的无助和沮丧，没办法满足他们被期待的角色——作为提供者，以及转向家庭暴力，酒精滥用以及有时候——自杀。化学也有扮演一个角色。圭亚那农业工人和农夫们可能过度使用有机磷酸酯类除草要（organophosphate herbicides）和杀虫剂，国际研究显示它能导致冲动的自杀行为。
[this month released] /The/ findings /released/ [for a study] based on /an/ in-depth interview[s] by Serena Coultress. She talks of hopelessness and frustration among men who are unable to fulfil their expected roles as [a] provider and who turn to domestic violence, alcohol abuse and sometimes, suicide. Chemistry has a role to play, too. Guyanese agricultural workers and farmers may be overusing organophosphate herbicides [and insecticides], which international studies suggest /it/ can lead to impulsive suicidal behaviour/s/.
圭亚那的自杀率自2000年以来已经下降了8.5%，但是需要做的事情还有很多很多。训练讨论会（完成）被举办来帮助辨识有风险的人，但是存在很少跟进活动。不存在运行中的电话热线给遇难中的人。企图自杀（自杀未遂）在圭亚那是犯罪行为。法律很少被使用，但是其存在帮助设置了一个耻辱的模式，这个国家是无力承受的。
Guyana's suicide rate has fallen by 8.5% since 2000, but much more /still/ needs to be done. Training workshops have been held to help identify people at risk, but there [has been] very [little] follow-up activity. There is no functioning telephone helpline for people in distress. Attempted suicide is a criminal offence in Guyana. The law is rarely used, but its existence help[s] /to a/ set a pattern of [stigma[ that the country can ill afford.
