The Associated Press tried to ask more than half-dozen of the men about their background and the temple they said the donations were being used to support. Each claimed to be a Buddhist monk collecting money for a temple in Thailand, but none could give its name or say where exactly it is located. All the men refused to give their names and ran off when pressed for answers.
美联社记者试着向六七个僧人问了问题,了解一下他们的背景和他们声称的要用捐款修建的寺庙,每个人都说自己是佛教僧人,要筹款在泰国建寺庙,但没有人说得上来那个寺庙的名字或具体地点。所有人都拒绝说出他们的姓名,硬要让他们回答的话就都跑掉了。
The men first started appearing at the High Line, a New York City public park that's maintained by a private noNPRofit group, about three years ago, said Robert Hammond, executive director of Friends of the High Line. But it "became excessive" in the past year, he said, with up to a dozen of the men accosting tourists at once and sometimes grabbing them to demand cash.
“高线公园的朋友们”的常务董事罗伯特•哈蒙德说,约在三年前,这些人第一次出现在纽约的高线公园,高线公园是由一家私人非盈利组织运营的公共公园。但是去年“变本加厉”,他说,多达十几个人同时向游客搭话,有的时候还抓着他们要钱。
Panhandling on city streets isn't illegal in New York, as long as the person isn't acting aggressively. But the city's parks department has a rule that says it is unlawful to solicit money without a permit from the parks commissioner.
