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.
在印度近日展开的清理街头乞讨行动中，两名讲英语、并声称在西方国家工作过的中年女性行乞者被抓获。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收容所。"Two women, aged 50 and 44, both natives of Hyderabad, were among some 30 women caught begging near a dargah in Langer Houz," a senior official said.
一名高级官员表示：“在兰格胡兹圣陵附近乞讨的30多名妇女中，年龄分别为50岁和44岁的这两个人，都是海德拉巴的原住民。”
To their astonishment, the Ashram staff found that the two women spoke English well.
可让人吃惊的是，收容所的工作人员发现这两位女士英文讲的很流利。
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.
二人中年龄较大的那位妇女，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、收容所的负责人K Arjun Rao表示，44岁的那位妇女则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. The younger woman claimed that she started begging after her relatives cheated her out of her share of the ancestral property," he said.
他说：“50岁的那位妇女的丈夫过世了，她自己也遇到了一些问题，后来遇到了一位宗师，听从宗师的建议到圣陵附近来行乞。她的儿子则在美国当建筑师。年龄较小的那位，在她的亲戚骗光了她继承的祖上财产后，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.
这位官员称：“在收到了担保书（保证不会再在街头乞讨）后，我们将她二人移交给了她们的亲戚。”
