最近,难民和非法移民的话题引发热议,他们在新的国家的生存状况也颇受关注。在美国等国家,非法移民没有办法去银行开户,打工赚来的钱只能随身携带,由此导致非法移民被抢劫的几率高于普通人。这些经常被抢的非法移民被当地媒体称为“移动提款机”。
Walking ATM refers to an illegal immigrant or migrant worker who is frequently robbed because they have no bank account and so must carry all their cash. They are afraid to leave the money where they live because they may be sharing an apartment with a dozen or so others.
“移动提款机”指经常被抢劫的非法移民或农民工,他们没有银行账户,所以只能把钱都带在身上。他们也不敢把钱放在住的地方,因为他们通常都跟好几个人共住一套房子。
Since many undocumented immigrants are unable to open bank accounts, they are often forced to carry large amounts of cash, making them susceptible to crimes of robbery or theft.
因为很多没有合法身份的移民都没办法到银行开户,所以经常不得不把大量现金带在身上,由此很容易成为抢劫和盗窃的受害者。
