试题部分：

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage

into Chinese.

Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who

had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high

school.

But Europe beckoned.

In his West African homeland, Mr. Jallows salary was the equivalent of just 50

euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in

his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambias largest city, there was talk of easy

money to be made in Europe.

Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here

in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with

hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic

sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is

safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes

have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,” he said recently as he

gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how

we live here. We suffer here.”

The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the

way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the

Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy,

and hundreds more have arrived at Malta.

The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more

sub-Saharans Experts say thousands more — many of whom have been moving around

North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans,

Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life

awaits them.

But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after

days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never

imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden

paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch.

“It keeps the hunger away,” he said. The authorities estimate that there are

perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province

of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and

blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce

olives, oranges and vegetables. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jallows

From the road, their encampments look like igloos tucked among the trees. Up

close, the squalor is clear. Piles of garbage and flies are everywhere. Old

clothes, stiff from dirt and rain, hang from branches.

“There is everything in there,” said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm

workers union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men. “You have

rats and snakes and mice and fleas.”

The men in the woods do not call home with the truth, though. They send

pictures of themselves posing next to Mercedes cars parked on the street, the

kind of pictures that Mr. Jallow says he fell for so many years ago. Now he

shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters.

“So many lies,” he said. “It is terrible what they are doing. But they are

embarrassed.”

Even now, though, Mr. Jallow will not consider going back to Gambia. “I would

prefer to die here,” he said. “I cannot go home empty-handed. If I went home,

they would be saying? What have you been doing with yourself, Amadou? They

think in Europe there is money all over.”

The immigrants — virtually all of them are men — cluster by nationality and

look for work on the farms. But Mr. Ca?amero says they are offered only the

least desirable work, like handling pesticides, and little of it at that. Most

have no working papers.

Occasionally, the police bring bulldozers to tear down the shelters. But the

men, who have usually used their familys life savings to get here, are mostly

left alone — the conditions they live under are an open secret in the nearby

villages.
