中國16歲少年偷渡迪拜 想當乞丐掙大錢

A Chinese teenager has been found hiding in the cargo hold of an Emirates passenger jet that had flown from Shanghai to Dubai.

日前，一名中國少年被發現藏身於一艘阿聯酋航空客機的貨艙內，企圖從上海偷渡到迪拜。

Emirates said the stowaway had been found on Flight EK303 from Shanghai and had been handed over to Dubai police.

阿聯酋航空方面表示，他們在從上海啓程的EK303航班上發現了這名偷渡者，並且已經將其移交給了迪拜警方。

The airline did not name the stowaway but China's official Xinhua news agency said he was a 16-year-old boy named Xu. The boy is reported to have said he was "very comfortable" in the hold.

這架客機並沒有提及這名偷渡者的姓名，但是中國官方媒體新華社報道稱，這是一名16歲的徐姓男子。據稱，該男子表示待在貨運艙感覺“非常舒服”。

He said he had heard that even beggars in Dubai could make a lot of money, Xinhua reported.

據新華社報道，這名男子表示，他曾聽說在迪拜甚至是當乞丐都能掙大錢。

"We are co-operating fully with authorities in Dubai and as this is a police matter we are unable to comment further at this time," Emirates said in an emailed statement.

阿聯酋航空在一份郵件聲明中表示：“我們正在全力配合迪拜當局。由於這件事和警方有關，目前我們還不能就此事做進一步評論。”

Xinhua said that consulate staff had been sent to the airport to learn more about the situation.

據新華社報道，領事館工作人員已經前往機場瞭解更多相關情況。

According to a translator appointed by prosecutors, the boy said he had jumped over a fence at Shanghai airport and climbed into the cargo hold while a security guard looked away, Xinhua added.

據新華社報道，迪拜方面的檢察官的翻譯表示，這名男子承認自己跳過了上海機場的圍欄，並趁一名安保疏忽時爬進了這架客機的貨艙。

Dubai is home to the world's busiest airport for international travel and is a major destination for job-seekers from around the world.

迪拜擁有世界上最繁忙的國際機場，此外還是全世界求職者的一個主要目的地。

Emirates operates numerous flights between its Dubai hub and China, including two round-trip flights daily to Shanghai.

阿聯酋擁有多條往來迪拜港和中國的航班，其中就包括每天飛往上海的兩趟往返航班。
