37、nthsbecausehehasnomoney. “Timesarebadforeveryonehere,”hesaid.“Notlongago,Isawmyuncleinthewoods.ButItoldhimhewasnothingtome.”(分数:50.00)_正确答案:(带着追富梦想的非洲人,去往欧洲,找到的仅仅是肮脏和鄙陋。 艾玛得.杰罗,在去欧洲之前,在岗比亚教授自然科学,他的避风帐篷位于西班牙的拂兰特龙。“我想我会成为百万富翁。” 在西班牙拂兰特龙的一处违法营蓬里,一个男人说道:“我们不是原始人,只不过欧洲对我们有太大的吸引力罢了。” 在位于非洲家乡的时候,杰罗先生差不多一月能
38、拿到越 50 欧元的薪水,这对于自己的生活开支已经十分足够.在岗比亚最大城市 Serekunda,人们谈论着欧洲,那里的钱十分好挣。 现在,他对于上述谈论带着一种苦不堪言的意味,我们居住在位于西班牙南部的一片丛林当中,在这个村子外面,是来至其它国家的上百移民。他们用塑胶块和硬纸板建造自己的家,他们饮用的水的管道,不知从何而来,水的安全性也不得而知。在这片大陆生活六年之后,杰罗先生,已经变得十分消瘦,眼睛里生出了一道黄色的皱纹。 “我们并非是丛林中的土著原始人群”,最近当他把找来的树枝点燃成为篝火的时候,他传递了这样的声音。“你认为自己十分现代了,但我们居住的环境十分差,我们正遭受痛苦。” 利比
39、亚的政治动乱,非洲北部的不稳定因素成为成千上万的欧洲新移民漂移过地中海,转至欧洲的主要因素。已经超过 25000 人抵达欧洲的意大利岛,有数百人已远达马尔塔岛。 靠船运输带来几乎所有淘金者,之后又有新的交运工具出现。专家们指出大约有上千的从非洲北部出发赶往欧洲,这中情形已有几年历史了。索马里人,尼日利亚人都是通过此种方式转向欧洲,他们都相信有更好的生活在等待着他们。 但是,正如杰罗先生在几年前所经历的一样,在海上的时候,他们接连好几天都处于没有食物跟水的情形,在当时,杰罗先生在两天才一顿饭的状态下得以幸存,在航行途中的困难情形是他们从未想到过的。油加面粉,再用树枝搅拌即可食用了。 “这样就不会
40、怕饿了”他说道。 据政府估计,约有一万以上的移民居住在西班牙南部Andalusia 省的丛林中,因为那里有很多草莓,葡萄,蓝果等。更多的人居住在生产绒毛,橘子,蔬菜的地区。他们中的大多数拥有同杰罗先生的经历。 从路旁开始,他们所居住的地方十分像挂在树上的浣熊一般。挂起的衣服,一切看起来都有那么点肮脏和鄙陋,垃圾和废纸散落一地。淤泥和雨水浸泡过的旧衣物也变得十分僵硬,挂满了大树的枝干。 “在这里什么都有” Diego Ca?amero 如此说道,他是Andalusia 农场工作联盟的领导者,他总是试着去倡导人们。“你有大老鼠和蛇,米饭,跳蚤“他如此说道。 居住在丛林中的人们,面对艰难的现实,他们
41、都不太往家里打电话,尽管如此,他们还是继续奋斗着。他们把图片送往停有奔驰车的街道里。Jallow 先生说道,他为此准备了很久。现在,他会朝拒绝采访的邻居们摇头。 ”如此之多的谎言“他说道。”他们所做的事情 相当老火,因为他们处于令人发窘的状态。“ 即使是在现在,Jallow 先生没有想过要回岗比亚。”我更愿意死在这里”我不能空着手回去,如果我回去,他们就会问,你一直在干什么?他们认为欧洲到处都是钱。 这些移民,事实上以男性居多.大都以国籍相同而聚集在一起,而且都在寻找农场上的活.但是提供给他们大活往往都些要求很低的工作,例如搬运杀虫剂.还有诸如此类的事情.他们中的大多都没有机会从事文职工作.
42、很多人把自己家里的所有储蓄都花在欧洲了,结果呢,大多数不得不独自离开-居住环境之差,已经成为当地人公开的秘密. 当地市长对此没有做任何回应.在其它城市,这样的帐篷区 还有更大数量的人群.公开的信息称,政府没有足够钱来帮助他们.“这个问题实在是一个大问题。“他说,“当然我们也愿意做更多的事情来帮助他们.” 在一个春天的夜晚,他们当中的一部分人在玩牌,就在用塑料杀虫包装和他们从垃圾堆里拣来的旧家具的帐篷里.如果有钱的话,一部分人会到市区去购买生活必需品.他们在当地的酒吧并不受欢迎.在去年的世界杯大赛期间,劳动者联盟搭建了一幅巨型电视屏幕,为树林里大移民者播放世界杯赛况,这样的话就不会错过比赛了.
43、杰罗先生跟他妈妈一直都在祈祷,同时也未曾告诉他的爸爸有关于离家乘船到欧洲去的计划,他希望能找到 Canary 岛。 他骑车来到 Guinea-Bissau,在这里,两年前他在这里滞留了一个夜晚,有人告知他,有船将要起航到欧洲。船上挤满了人,大约有十多天的时间,船上的人都无法动弹,而且到了最后五天的时候,就断水断粮了。 船上的人几乎都要出现频繁呕吐的状况。一个年轻小伙子,坐在他旁边,在一天夜里死掉了,知道天亮了的时候人们才发现,他的尸体被直接扔到海里。 “我们中的大多数登船以后都无法动弹”他回述道。“我还可以移动几步,但是看起来我好像是喝醉了酒似的。我把自己交付到上帝的手里,希望他能照顾我。”
44、在 Canary 岛滞留 40 天后他被带到马里兰岛,被统一标准的命令释放。“我想我成为百万富翁的时间快要到了。”杰罗先生说道。 他妈妈在电话中联系了孩子的叔叔,让他在火车站来接这孩子。但是等到了的时候,电话就打不通了。之后,他了解到他的叔叔就住在火车站附近。很快,在其它移民的指导下,他来到了森林集聚地。 在西班牙的六年时间里,杰罗先生在酒店和田野做过临时工,有时能挣到 30 欧元,或者是工作 10 小时才能得到 42 欧元。他说他已经挣到了 12000 欧元,自从离家以来,他经常几个月不同家里人联系,因为他实在是没什么钱。 “对于每一个人来说,这里的时光十分艰难” 他说“不久之前我在树林里见到了我的叔叔。但是我告诉他,他已经不再重要了。”)解析:
