迪拜乞丐富得流油 月入47萬元人民幣!大綱

Begging is surely big business. And it has proven to be so in Dubai, where a recently arrested beggar was found making as much as 270,000 dirham (around 73,500 U.S. dollars, 470,000 yuan) a month.

乞討可是一筆大生意。這一點在迪拜就已經得到了證明。近日，迪拜警方逮捕了一名乞丐，發現他的月收入居然多達27萬迪拉姆（摺合73500美元，47萬人民幣）。

The beggar was among dozens arrested by Dubai Municipality inspectors, local media reported.

據當地媒體報道，迪拜市政巡邏員共逮捕了幾十名乞丐，此人只是其中之一。

Fifty nine beggars were caught during the first three months of 2016, said Faisal Al Badiawi, head of the markets section at the Dubai Municipality, in a statement. Those arrests were part of a campaign carried out by the municipality in cooperation with the emirate's police to combat begging in Dubai.

迪拜市市場部門領導巴迪奧維在一份聲明中表示，在2016年的前三個月中共抓獲59名乞丐。這些逮捕行動是迪拜市市政當局與阿聯酋警方合作進行的打擊乞討活動的一部分。

"During the campaign, we found that the majority of beggars had entered the country legally with a three-month visa, in order to collect as much money as they could during their time here," Al Badiawi explained.

巴迪奧維解釋稱："在逮捕活動中，我們發現大多數這些乞討者通常是使用3個月的商務或旅遊簽證來到當地，並在這段時間內儘可能地'賺錢'。"

The seizures showed that one beggar was making about 73,500 dollars per month. "More money was collected on Fridays when beggars stood in front of mosques," Al Badiawi said.

根據繳獲結果顯示，一個乞丐每月大約收入爲73500美元。巴迪奧維表示："這些乞丐每星期五在清真寺門口"開工"時，還有可能賺到更多的錢。"

Local authorities of Dubai have been carrying out year-long operations to combat begging along the city streets. In 2015, up to 197 begging-related arrests were made during an anti-begging campaign around Ramadan, according to a previous report of Gulf News. Police said street begging affects the city's security.

據悉，迪拜當局針對這些街頭乞討者已經展開了長達一年的逮捕行動。據海灣新聞之前的報道指出，在2015年齋月期間開展的一次反乞討運動中，有多達197名乞丐被逮捕。警方表示，街頭乞討影響了城市的安全。
