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) a month.

­　　乞討可是一筆大生意。在迪拜乞討就證明了這一點(diǎn)，那里最近逮捕了一個(gè)乞丐，發(fā)現(xiàn)他的月收入居然多達(dá)27萬(wàn)迪拉姆（約73500美元，47萬(wàn)人民幣）。

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

­　　據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w報(bào)道，迪拜市政巡邏員逮捕了幾十個(gè)乞討者，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.

­　　迪拜市市場(chǎng)部門(mén)主管Faisal Al Badiawi 在一份聲明中說(shuō)，2016年前三個(gè)月共抓了59名乞丐。

­　　Those arrests were part of a campaign carried out by the municipality in cooperation with the emirate’s police to combat begging in Dubai.

­　　這些逮捕行動(dòng)是迪拜市與阿聯(lián)酋警方合作進(jìn)行的打擊乞討活動(dòng)的一部分。

­　　“Some of the beggars had passports issued with business or tourist visas,” Al Badiawi told reporters.

­　　Faisal Al Badiawi在接受采訪時(shí)說(shuō)，“有些乞討者是持有商務(wù)或旅游簽證的。”

­　　“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.

­　　Al Badiawi解釋說(shuō)，“在逮捕活動(dòng)中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)乞討者都是通過(guò)3個(gè)月旅游簽證合法的‘混’到迪拜，在這段時(shí)間他們盡可能多的去賺錢(qián)。”

­　　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.

­　　繳獲結(jié)果顯示，一個(gè)乞丐每月大約收入73500美元。Al Badiawi 說(shuō)，“這些乞丐每星期五在清真寺門(mén)口“開(kāi)工”時(shí)，還有可能賺到更多的錢(qián)。”

­　　Local authorities of Dubai have been carrying out year-long operations to combat begging along the city streets.

­　　迪拜當(dāng)局針對(duì)這些街頭乞討者展開(kāi)了長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年的逮捕行動(dòng)。

­　　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(jù)海灣新聞之前的一個(gè)報(bào)道，2015年齋月期間開(kāi)展的一次反乞討運(yùn)動(dòng)中，多達(dá)197名乞討者被逮捕。警方稱，街頭乞討影響城市的安全。
