The forgotten millions

［1］ The European migration crisis of 2015 quickly turned into amoralityplay.Liberalslined railway platforms to welcomerefugees, while theirnativistfoeswarned ofchaosandterrorism. Lost in the row were the millions of refugees who stayed in the developing world, unwilling or unable to journey to richer countries. The boatsdisgorgingSyrians and Afghans onto Greek islands delivered one of the most serious emergencies the European Union has ever known. But according to a new book, they were asideshow.

2015年歐洲遺民危機迅速演變成道德問題改艇。自由主義者排鐵路平臺歡迎難民，而他們的本土對手警告可能出現(xiàn)混亂和恐怖主義坟岔。這些難民數(shù)以百萬計谒兄，多是留在發(fā)展中國家，不愿或無法到達發(fā)達國家炮车。一艘逃離敘利亞和阿富汗開往希臘島的船運來的難民，是歐盟經(jīng)歷過的最嚴重的緊急情況之一酣溃。但根據(jù)一本新書所說瘦穆，這可能還只是中場表演。

［2］The starting point of "Refuge" by Alexander Betts and Paul Collier, a refugee expert and a development economist, is theplightof the 86% of refugees who live in poor countries. The outlook for most is grim. Although the number of people dis-placed by conflict orpersecution(including those forced to flee inside their own countries) is at a post-war high of 65m, moresalientis the length of theirexile: about half the world’s refugees have endured their status for more than five years.

［3］Take Syria's civil war, six years old with no end in sight. Most of the 4m Syrian refugeeslanguishingin neighboring Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon cannot return home. But they struggle to find decent work or educate their children in the towns and cities to which most haveflocked(the small numbers in camps have even fewer options). Any visitor to places like theBekaavalley in Lebanon will quickly see thehopelessnessthat sets in when refugees are denied astakein their own future.

對于一場成敗攸關(guān)的比賽來說氣氛自然非常緊張。

就拿敘利亞的戰(zhàn)爭來說覆旱，6年就仿佛沒有盡頭蘸朋。400萬敘利亞難民大部分都留在相鄰的土耳其，約旦和黎巴嫩扣唱，日漸衰弱藕坯，不能回家。他們努力尋找體面的工作噪沙，或蜂擁至城鎮(zhèn)給自己的孩子優(yōu)秀的教育炼彪，在小地方的人比較少，而選擇更少正歼。任何來到像黎巴嫩的Bekaa河谷這樣地方的游客辐马，將很快看到難民被剝奪了他們未來賭注之后出現(xiàn)的絕望。

［4］?The UN's refugee body (UNHCR) has a legalmandateto help, but it ischronicallyunderfunded and increasingly irrelevant. Under theprevailing"care and maintenance" model, the UNHCR and its partner agencies act assurrogatestates, keeping refugees in limbo for years. That suits rich countries, which pay to keep refugees away, andallaysthe economic and security fears of their hosts. But it creates lost generations—the third generation ofSomalirefugees in the vast Dadaabagglomerationin Kenya now numbers 10,000— and does nothing for the refugees who are not in camps. The big argument of "Refuge" is that refugees should be given jobs rather thancoddledas victims, and that governments shouldharnessthe forces of globalisation andcapitalismto help.

聯(lián)合國難民機構(gòu)（難民署）有法律授權(quán)的幫助兜畸，但其長期資金不足，也就越來越無關(guān)緊要碘梢。在普遍的“關(guān)心與維護”模式下咬摇，聯(lián)合國難民署及其伙伴機構(gòu)充當(dāng)代理國，使難民們多年處于不穩(wěn)定狀態(tài)煞躬。發(fā)達國家常這么做肛鹏，花錢請難民離開，保證本地居民的經(jīng)濟與安全恩沛。但這造成了迷惘的一代：在肯尼亞廣闊的達達阿布集聚索馬里難民的第三代現(xiàn)在增到10000人在扰，但沒有為不在難民營的難民做任何事。避難所應(yīng)該給難民工作雷客，而不是把他們當(dāng)做受害者悉心照料芒珠。政府應(yīng)利用全球化和資本主義的力量幫助他們。

［5］The authors'Eurekamoment came in Jordan in 2015, when they were shown a low-tax "special economic zone" (of the sort popular in parts of Asia) near Zaatari, a refugee camp. The camp "reekedof lives on hold", while the zone needed workers. The answer seemed obvious: alongside nationals, refugees should be put to work. Done well, the authors argue hopefully, this approach canalignthe interests of refugees, donors and host countries. To test their ideas Messrs Betts and Collier have helped establish a pilot scheme in Jordan, with help from Western governments(the EU has offered trade concessions) and companies like Asda, a British super-market, which uses suppliers that hire refugees in the zone. Results so far are mixed, although it is early days. Different solutions can be found for other countries. In some parts of Africa, for example, refugees can be given arable land to farm; Uganda has found success with this approach. When peace returns at home, refugees can return. If it doesn’t, after a set period they should be allowed to naturalise.

2015年在約旦娜汁，當(dāng)他們看到Zaatari難民營附近的低稅收的“經(jīng)濟特區(qū)”（這種類型流行在亞洲的部分地區(qū)），一個難民營甥啄，作者獲得了靈感存炮。這個營地散發(fā)著生活的氣息炬搭，而地區(qū)需要工人蜈漓。答案很明顯了：和市民一樣穆桂，難民應(yīng)該投入工作。如果做得好融虽，作者充滿希望地想享完，這種方法就能使難民、捐助者和東道國的利益協(xié)調(diào)一致有额。為了驗證他們的觀點般又，貝茨和科利爾在約旦幫忙建立了一個飛行員項目，借助了西方政府（歐盟提供了交易特許經(jīng)營權(quán)）和像Asda這樣公司的幫助巍佑，Asda是一家英國超市茴迁，它使用雇傭難民的供應(yīng)商。到目前為止結(jié)果喜憂參半萤衰，雖然只是初期階段堕义。其他國家可以尋求不同的解決方案。例如脆栋，在非洲的一些地方倦卖，難民可以耕種耕地；而這種方法椿争，在烏干達獲得了成功怕膛。當(dāng)國內(nèi)和平了，難民可以回國秦踪。如果沒有褐捻，經(jīng)過一段時間，應(yīng)該允許他們?nèi)爰?/p>

［6］ Where does the West fit in? The authorsslamAngela Merkel, Germany'schancellor, for triggering huge movements of refugees and migrants to Europe by relaxing entry rules for Syrians in August 2015. The charge is unfair. Mrs Merkel's decision was as much consequence as cause: theexoduswas well under way by the summer. A striking claim that Germany's decisions "may have" intensified the violence in Syria is presented without evidence.

slam：砰地關(guān)上（門或窗）; 猛烈抨擊; 使勁一推; 猛勁一摔;?砰然關(guān)上; 猛力打擊洋侨，碰撞; 撞到了一輛卡車上;?猛擊; 猛然關(guān)閉的聲音

[例句]Lieutenant Malcolm said she saw no sign that the exodus from Haiti was abating

馬爾科姆海軍上尉說她沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)人們大批逃離海地有減緩的跡象。

西部適合哪里希坚？作者抨擊德國總理默克爾在2015八月放寬了對敘利亞人的入境規(guī)則边苹，引發(fā)大批難民和移民涌入歐洲。指控不公平裁僧。默克爾夫人的起因和結(jié)果一樣重要：夏季的外出活動正在順利進行个束。德國的決策可能加劇了敘利亞暴力事件的這個驚人說法是毫無根據(jù)的。

［7］The authors are on steadier ground when they note the high price of Europeangenerosity. Sweden, for example, has diverted half its foreign-aid budget to pay for refugees at home; thus the world’s poorest are in effect subsidizing their more fortunatebrethrenin Sweden’s expensiveasylumsystem. The drain has lost Syria its brightest, crimping its chances of post-conflict recovery. Rather than argue for rich countries to take in evermore refugees, the authors urge them to offer political and economic help to "havens" like Jordan and Kenya, including financial incentives for firms to invest.

generosity：慷慨聊疲，大方; 寬容或慷慨的行為; 豐富

brethren：<舊>兄弟們茬底，同胞; 〈舊〉同黨，會友;

asylum：庇護; 避難所; 政治避難; 精神病院;

[例句]He applied for asylum in 1987 after fleeing the police back home.

1987年他在本國逃脫警察追捕后获洲，就申請了政治庇護阱表。

作者們注意到歐洲慷慨的代價時，還比較穩(wěn)定。例如最爬，瑞典已經(jīng)將一半的對外援助預(yù)算轉(zhuǎn)移到國內(nèi)為難民支付涉馁；因此，世界上最貧窮的人實際上在為他們在瑞典昂貴的庇護系統(tǒng)中的幸運同胞提供補貼爱致。人才流失使敘利亞失去了最有利的一面烤送，削弱了其沖突后恢復(fù)的可能。作者呼吁富國向約旦和肯尼亞等“避風(fēng)港”提供政治和經(jīng)濟援助糠悯，包括為企業(yè)投資提供經(jīng)濟支持帮坚，而不是讓富裕國家接納難民。

［8］This will unsettle those whodespairat ?Europe’s inability to handle a refugeeinfluxof 1m when its poorer neighbours cope with far higher numbers. Perhaps a bigger problem is that ”Refuge” provides no guide on how to handle today’s mixed flows of economic migrants and refugees. Unlike many advocacy groups, the authors are careful (and right) to distinguish the two. But the peoplesmugglersin Libya who haul Eritreans onto boats together withNigeriansandBangladeshisdo not, creating headaches for European governments.

despair：絕望; 使人絕望的人（或事物）

[例句]I looked at my wife in despair

我絕望地看著妻子互艾。

influx：流入试和，注入; 匯集〔指人或物〕，充斥; 注入口纫普，河口

[例句]The country simply cannot absorb this influx of refugees.

這個國家實在不能接納這么多涌入的難民灰署。

smuggler：走私者; 走私船

[例句]The bombings were masterminded by a known drugs smuggler.

爆炸是由一個臭名昭著的毒品走私分子操縱的。

Eritreans：厄立特里亞的

Bangladeshi：孟加拉國人局嘁，孟加拉國居民;（有關(guān)） 孟加拉國的溉箕，（有關(guān)）孟加拉人的

[例句]Many Bangladeshis were employed in the construction or fishing industries.

許多孟加拉國人都從事建筑業(yè)或漁業(yè)。

這將使對歐洲無法處理100萬難民涌入感到絕望的人動搖悦昵，當(dāng)歐洲鄰近更貧窮的國家接受了更多的難民肴茄。也許更大的問題是，“避難所”對如何處理當(dāng)今經(jīng)濟移民和難民的混合流沒有指導(dǎo)意義但指。與許多倡導(dǎo)團體不同的是寡痰，作者謹慎（并正確）地區(qū)分了兩者。那些把厄立特里亞人和尼日利亞人棋凳，孟加拉人都拉上船的利比亞人口販子并不能區(qū)分經(jīng)濟移民和難民拦坠，這讓歐洲政府非常頭疼。

［9］"Refuge" suffers from poor editing; it iswearyinglyrepetitiveand dotted with errors (Mrs Merkel has not, for example, imposed a cap on refugees). A few eyebrows will also be raised at the claim that Europe’s refugee flows were responsible for Britain’s vote to leave the EU. But this should not detract from the humanity of a book that places the long-term needs of the world’s refugees at its heart. "Refuge" is the first comprehensive attempt in years to re-think from first principles a systemhideboundby old thinking and handwringing. Its ideas demand a hearing.

weary：疲倦的; 困乏的; 令人厭倦[生厭剩岳，發(fā)膩]的; 感到厭倦的;（使） 疲乏贞滨，（使）厭煩;?疲倦，疲乏; 厭倦拍棕，厭煩; 渴望晓铆，切望

wringing：淋濕的蠢箩，濕透的;?絞( wring的現(xiàn)在分詞 ); 握緊（尤指別人的手）; 把（濕衣服）擰干; 絞掉（水）

[例句]He was wringing wet after working in the field in the hot sun.

烈日下在田里干活使他汗流滿面链蕊。

難民遭受貧困的折磨：重復(fù)的疲倦事甜，不斷的錯誤（默克爾夫人并未，例如滔韵，給難民戴帽子）讳侨。對于歐洲難民流是英國脫歐的原因這個說法，很多人是表示不同意的奏属。但對于一本將世界難民的需求放在心上的書，這一點不會減損其人道主義潮峦。多年以來囱皿，“避難所”是第一個全面考慮過去經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn)的想法。其理念值得領(lǐng)取借鑒忱嘹。

戰(zhàn)爭的受害者總是普通人嘱腥，面對殺戮和饑餓，這些人自身的力量很微弱拘悦，如果沒有人施以援手齿兔，他們就很難生存下去，更談不上獲得教育工作的機會础米，那么也不會有人能拯救他們的家園分苇，惡性循環(huán)，悲慘不會終止屁桑，而最后誰能獨善其身呢医寿？

有一位敘利亞難民這樣描述他們的逃亡：只想尋找一個安靜的地方，那里沒有人傷害你蘑斧、沒有人侮辱你靖秩、沒有人殺害你……

希望我們可以為他們構(gòu)造這樣一個地方。
