一中國遊客在德國被誤認爲難民滯留兩週

A Chinese tourist spent nearly two weeks in a German migrant hostel after mistakenly applying for asylum when he actually wanted to report a theft.

一名中國遊客本想就失竊報警，但卻被誤認成尋求庇護的難民，無奈在德國移民宿舍滯留了2周。

German media say the 31-year-old backpacker, who spoke neither German nor English, underwent a medical check and his fingerprints were taken.

據德國媒體表示，這名31歲的揹包客既不會說德語也不會說英語，目前他已經接受了醫療檢查，並且採集了指紋。

A Red Cross worker later found out that the man's wallet had been stolen in Stuttgart. But instead of going to the police the man registered as a migrant.

一名紅十字會工作人員隨後瞭解到，該名男子在斯圖加特被偷了錢包。但該男子卻沒有像警察求助，而是登記成爲一名移民。

A Mandarin speaker solved the puzzle. The translator was found at a Chinese restaurant near the migrant hostel where the tourist was staying.

最終，一個會說漢語的人解決了這個難題。據悉，這名翻譯就在該遊客居住的難民宿舍附近的一家中餐館裏工作。

In early July the tourist arrived at the hostel on a bus with migrants, from Dortmund.

在7月上旬，這名遊客乘坐一輛巴士，從多特蒙德和一些移民一起抵達了這座難民宿舍。

"He was so different from the others. Very, very helpless," said Red Cross worker Christoph Schluetermann.

紅十字會工作人員克里斯托弗·史律特曼表示：“他是如此的與衆不同。他非常非常的無助。”

A translation app confirmed Mr Schluetermann's suspicions that the tourist had got entangled in the asylum system by mistake.

一個翻譯軟件證實了克里斯托弗的懷疑--這名遊客被誤登入了移民庇護系統。

"It came up with phrases like 'I want to go on a trip abroad'," he said. It emerged that the tourist had plans to visit Italy and France.

克里斯托弗說道：“它（翻譯軟件）蹦出了一些短句，例如'我想出國旅行'。”這名遊客之前曾計劃造訪意大利和法國。

The man, from northern China, had calmly allowed the authorities to take away his passport and visa, and take his fingerprints. He then had a medical check and was given the standard papers that migrants get on arrival in Germany.

這名男子來自中國北方，他之前沒有任何抵抗地就讓有關部門拿走了他的護照的簽證，並採集了他的指紋。隨後他接受了醫療檢查，還拿到了前往德國的移民都會領到的標準文件。

Mr Schluetermann said hostel staff made futile calls to various consulates, hoping to identify the tourist. An error over the man's visa caused further delay. Finally his asylum application was stopped and he was able to continue his European tour.

據克里斯托弗表示，移民宿舍的工作人員給許多國家的大使館都打了電話，希望查明這名遊客的身份，但是卻徒勞無功。而該名男子簽證的一個錯誤又使得事情進一步延誤。最終他的移民庇護申請被取消，而他也得以夠繼續自己的歐洲之旅。

According to German broadcaster WDR, the man did not get angry but left Germany saying simply that he had imagined Europe to be quite different.

據德國廣播電視臺WDR表示，這名男子一點都沒有生氣，但是在離開德國之前，他曾輕描淡寫地表示，這和想象中的歐洲完全不一樣。
