西班牙罗宾汉餐厅'劫富济贫'

罗宾汉餐厅坐落在马德里市中心附近的一条小巷中，白天这里是一家典型的西班牙酒吧。

But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Gutiérrez, 40, from Extremadura, can dine, free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery and proper glasses.

但是在晚上这里就变身为流浪者餐厅，这着实是创举。今年40岁的古铁雷斯来自埃斯特雷马杜拉，像他这样的流浪汉可以在餐厅里摆着鲜花、金属餐具以及精致杯子的餐桌上免费用餐。

The restaurant is the latest initiative from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz - meaning messengers of peace - which was founded 54 years ago by Father Ángel García Rodríguez.

这间餐厅是“和平使者”慈善组织的最新计划。54年前，安吉•加西亚•罗德里格斯神父创建了该组织。

Its business model - using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. Its aim, however, is a little more ambitious.

罗宾汉餐厅的经营模式很简单，就是靠从付费顾客身上赚取的早午餐收入为流浪者提供免费的晚餐。不过，它的目标却更有雄心。

"The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work," said Father Ángel.
