A:
|
快走，快走！
|
|
|
kuài zǒu, kuài zǒu!
|
|
|
Quick, quick!
|
|
B:
|
哎，怎么了。
|
|
|
āi, zěnmele.
|
|
|
Jeez, what is it?
|
|
A:
|
你没看见那边有几个乞丐吗？
|
|
|
nǐ méi kànjiàn nàbiān yǒu jǐ ge qǐgài ma?
|
|
|
Didn't you see that there were some beggars over there?
|
|
B:
|
乞丐又不可怕，为什么要走？而且乞丐那么可怜，应该要帮助他们呀。
|
|
|
qǐgài yòu bù kěpà, wèishénme yào zǒu? érqiě qǐgài nàme kělián, yīnggāi yào bāngzhù tāmen ya.
|
|
|
Beggars are nothing to be afraid of, why do we need to go? Besides, beggars are really unfortunate, we should help them.
|
|
A:
|
啊呀，你刚来中国不知道。这些人都是职业乞丐，你看他可怜，他赚的可比你多多了呢。
|
|
|
āyā, nǐ gāng lái Zhōngguó bù zhīdào. zhèxiē rén dōu shì zhíyè qǐgài, nǐ kàn tā kělián, tā zhuàn de kě bǐ nǐ duō duō le ne.
|
|
|
Man, you just came to China so you don't know. These people are all professional beggars. You think he looks down and out, but he earns way more than you do!
|
|
B:
|
啊？“职业乞丐”？
|
|
|
ǎ?" zhíyè qǐgài”?
|
|
|
What? Professional beggars?
|
|
A:
|
是啊，他们以乞讨为职业。又不是没有劳动能力，只是利用别人的同情心赚钱而已。
|
|
|
shì a, tāmen yǐ qǐtǎo wéi zhíyè. yòu bù shì méiyǒu láodòng nénglì, zhǐshì lìyòng biérén de tóngqíngxīn zhuànqián éryǐ.
|
|
|
Yeah! They make begging into a job. It's not because they don't have the ability to work; they just take advantage of the sympathy of others to make money.
|
|
B:
|
那他们为什么不去工作呢？低三下四地问人要钱，岂不是更没有尊严？
|
|
|
nà tāmen wèishénme bu qù gōngzuò ne? dīsānxiàsì de wèn rén yào qián, qǐbùshì gèng méiyǒu zūnyán?
|
|
|
Then why don't they get a job? Stooping to ask people for money: could there be anything more degrading?
|
|
A:
|
好吃懒做呗。只要拿个碗就能来钱，多轻松啊！
|
|
|
hàochīlǎnzuò bēi. zhǐyào ná ge wǎn jiù néng lái qián, duō qīngsōng a!
|
|
|
It's money for nothing! As long as you have a bowl, then you can make money. It's so easy!
|
|
B:
|
哦！哎，有时候我也看到有小孩子和老人在乞讨，他们总不会骗人吧。
|
|
|
ò! ái, yǒushíhou wǒ yě kàndào yǒu xiǎo háizi hé lǎorén zài qǐtǎo, tāmen zǒng bùhuì piànrén ba.
|
|
|
Oh! Well, sometimes I also see some kids and old people begging. They can't be faking it.
|
|
A:
|
这就要看情况了。有一些小孩子其实是被大人控制了，才出来乞讨的。有一次，地铁里一个男人带着一个孩子乞讨，大家都以为孩子是被拐卖的，还报警了呢。结果，那个男人还真的是孩子的爸爸。不过有一些残疾人可能真的需要帮助。
|
|

zhè jiùyào kàn qíngkuàng le. yǒuyīxiē xiǎo háizi qíshí shì bèi dàren kòngzhì le, cái chūlai qǐtǎo de. yǒuyīcì, dìtiě lǐ yī gè nánrén dài zhe yī gè háizi qǐtǎo, dàjiā dōu yǐwéi háizi shì bèi guǎimài de, hái bàojǐng le ne. jiéguǒ, nàge nánrén hái zhēnde shì háizi de bàba. bùguò yǒuyīxiē cánjírén kěnéng zhēnde xūyào bāngzhù.

|
|
This depends on the stituation. Some kids are actually being controlled by adults, and made to go out and beg. One time, on the subway a man was carrying a child and begging. Everyone thought that the child had been abducted and reported it to the police. It turned out that the man was really the child's father. However, handicapped people could really be in need of help.
|
|
B:
|
那我怎么才能分辨出来他们需不需要帮助呢？
|
|
|
nà wǒ zěnme cái néng fēnbiànchūlái tāmen xū bu xūyào bāngzhù ne?
|
|
|
So how can I tell if they really need help or not?
|
|
A:
|
这个嘛，我觉得你可以看看他需要什么。比如，你可以给他们一个面包。一般职业乞丐根本不要这些东西，他们有的是钱可以买好吃的。总之，尽量不要给钱。特别是像你这样的外国人，经常不明白情况，容易成为他们的目标。我听说，还有乞丐专门守在酒吧门口，等你喝醉了走出来，问你要钱呢。

Yeah, I think you can look at what they need. For example, you can give them a piece of bread. Most professional beggars don't want these kinds of things; they've got money to buy something good to eat. In short, try not to give money. Especially for foreigners like you, who often don't understand the situation, it's easy to become a target. I've heard some beggars specialize in hanging around the doors of bars, waiting for you to come out drunk and asking you for money.
|
|
B:
|
嗯，明白了。啊呀！我钱包里的钱怎么没有了！
|
|
|
ng4, míngbai le. āyā! wǒ qiánbāo lǐ de qián zěnme méiyǒu le!
|
|
|
Yeah, I know. Whoa! Why isn't there any money in my wallet?
|
|
A:
|
啊，不会被偷了吧？
|
|
|
ǎ, bùhuì bèi tōu le ba?
|
|
|
What? It wasn't stolen, was it?
|
|
B:
|
啊呀！我想起来了，昨天我去了酒吧......
|
|
|
āyā! wǒ xiǎngqǐlai le, zuótiān wǒ qù le jiǔbā......
|
|
|
Oh, no! I remember! Yesterday I went to a bar...
