最近,難民和非法移民的話題引發熱議,他們在新的國家的生存狀況也頗受關注。在美國等國家,非法移民沒有辦法去銀行開戶,打工賺來的錢只能隨身攜帶,由此導致非法移民被搶劫的幾率高于普通人。這些經常被搶的非法移民被當地媒體稱為“移動提款機”。
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.
“移動提款機”指經常被搶劫的非法移民或農民工,他們沒有銀行賬戶,所以只能把錢都帶在身上。他們也不敢把錢放在住的地方,因為他們通常都跟好幾個人共住一套房子。
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.
因為很多沒有合法身份的移民都沒辦法到銀行開戶,所以經常不得不把大量現金帶在身上,由此很容易成為搶劫和盜竊的受害者。
