印度特伦甘纳邦首府海德拉巴市本月下旬将举办一场“全球企业家峰会”,为了更好地迎接这些贵宾——包括美国第一女儿伊万卡.特朗普,当地政府正在努力整改街容,包括禁止乞讨者上街行乞。
Hyderabad, Nov 21 (PTI) Two middle-aged women, who speak English and claim to have worked in western countries, are among those caught while begging on city streets recently.
海德巴-11月21日电(印度报业托拉斯)在印度近日清理街头乞讨的行动中,警方抓捕了两名讲得一口流利英语、并声称在西方工作过的的中年女性行乞者。
Telangana Prisons Department, in coordination with police and the civic body, has picked up and admitted 235 male beggars and over 130 women beggars to Anand Ashrams (special homes) since October 20 as part of a drive to make Hyderabad a beggar-free city.
自10月20日起,作为保证海德拉巴市成为“无乞讨”城市行动的一部分,特伦甘纳邦监狱部门与警方、公民组织一道,将235名男性乞讨者和130多名女性乞讨者赶往安纳德避难所。
“Two women, aged 50 and 44, both natives of Hyderabad, were among some 30 women caught begging near a dargah in Langer Houz. Police took them to Anand Ashram on November 11,” a senior official said.
一名高级官员说,“在兰格胡兹的达加附近乞讨的30多名妇女中,有两名分别是50岁和44岁的妇女,都是海德拉巴的原住民。11月11日,警方将他们带到安纳德避难所。”
To their astonishment, the Ashram staff found that the two women spoke English well. The elder of the two told the staff that she had an MBA degree, and once worked as accountant in London before returning here. Her son, who was contacted by the authorities subsequently, confirmed this.
可让人吃惊的是,避难所的工作人员发现这两位女士英文讲的很流利。50岁的这位自称拥有工商管理学硕士学位,搬回印度前曾在伦敦从事会计工作。当局随后联系了她的儿子,证实了此事。
The younger woman said she was a Green Card holder and had worked in the US, said K Arjun Rao, superintendent of the Cherlapalli open-air jail and the Ashram in-charge.
Cherlapalli露天监狱的主管,避难所的负责人K Arjun Rao说,44岁的这位自称曾持有美国绿卡,在美国工作过。
“The fifty-year-old woman, who had lost her husband and was facing certain problems, approached a godman, and on his advise started begging near the dargah. Her son is an architect based in the US,” he said.
他说,“50岁的这位,她丈夫过世了,自己也遇到了一些问题,后来遇到了一位宗师,听从宗师的建议到达加附近来行乞。她的儿子在美国当建筑师。”
The younger woman claimed that she started begging after her relatives cheated her out of her share of the ancestral property, he said.
他还说,44岁的这位在她的亲戚骗光了她继承的祖传财产后,就开始行乞了。
“After taking undertakings (that they would not beg again) from them, we handed over both women to their relatives,” the official said.
“收到了两位提交的保证书(保证不会再在街头乞讨)后,我们将她二人移交给了亲戚。”这位官员说。
