It sounds like the plot of a boring "Saw" film, but it’s apparently all-too-real. An unemployed Austrian man cut off his own foot with a mitre saw so he could continue receiving jobless benefits.
　　听起来是不是像是无聊的《电锯惊魂》系列电影的情节？但这却是真人真事。一名失业的奥地利男子为了能够继续领失业救济，用斜切锯将自己的脚生生锯掉了。
　　Hans Url, a 56-year-old from Mitterlabill, then took the foot and cooked it in the oven so doctors could not reattach it.
　　这名男子是现年56岁的汉斯・乌尔，来自奥地利南部的施蒂利亚州。他在锯掉自己的左脚后还将断脚丢进了烤箱，以阻止医生会帮他接肢。
　　"The planning was meticulous," Franz Fasching, a police spokesman, told the Daily Mail. "[Url] waited until his wife and his adult son had left the house and he was alone. He then switched it on and sliced off his left foot above the ankle--throwing it in the fire so it would not be possible to reattach it before he called emergency services."
　　当地警方发言人Franz Fasching对《每日邮报》记者表示：“他的计划非常周密。乌尔等妻子和已成年的儿子出门家里只剩他自己的时候才动手。他打开电锯的开关，将左脚从脚踝正上方的位置锯开，在叫救护车之前，他把断脚丢进火里，这样急救人员就没有办法帮他接回断肢。”
　　He "then made his way to the garage where he called emergency services and waited for them to arrive." Url was airlifted to a hospital in Graz, where he was put in an artificial coma so doctors could stabilize him.
　　乌尔随后“步履蹒跚地挪到车库，拨打急救电话，然后等救护车来”。随后他被空运至格拉茨的一家医院接受救治。在医院医生为稳定他的情况，对他实施了人工昏迷。
　　"The foot was too badly burned to reattach," a hospital spokesman said. "All we could do was seal the wound. He had lost a lot of blood--he almost died on the way to hospital."
　　医院的发言人表示，“断脚因为严重烧伤已无法接回，医生只能对伤口进行密封处理。乌尔大量失血，在去医院的途中险些就没命了。”
　　According to the Austrian Times, Url had complained before the incident that he was too sick to work and "didn’t like the work he was offered." The kicker: according to the paper, being footless does not necessarily qualify Url for unemployment compensation.
　　根据《奥地利时报》的报道，乌尔在事故前曾经抱怨称自己的身体状况太差不能工作，也“不喜欢为他介绍的工作。” 不过现在的状况却是：根据该报纸的说法，断脚并不一定就意味着乌尔可以继续申领失业救济金。
　　"He will be assessed once he is out of hospital and we will see what work we can find for him," Hermann Gössinger, a spokesman for the employment benefits office, said.
　　失业救济办公室的发言人Hermann Gössinger表示，等乌尔伤口复原后，会对他的身体状况进行评估，并为他推荐适合的工作。
