难民营中的生意人

2014-08-01来源:和谐英语

Over 80,000 of those people are in a refugee camp called Zaatari close to the Syrian border. People there survive on vast amounts of aid provided by the UN and other agencies, although increasingly the private sector is playing a key and perhaps surprising role in keeping the population supplied. For the BBC, Dale Gavlak went to Zaatari, now Jordan's fifth largest city in its own right, to meet some of the businesses springing up there.
在叙利亚边境附近,有8万多人住在名叫扎塔里的难民营里。在那里,人们大量靠联合国和其他机构的救济生活,不过私营部门在保证人民供给的层面上所发挥的作用越来越重要,甚至是出人意料。扎塔里是凭借自身能力发展成为约旦的第五大城市。BBC的Dale Gavlak前往那里,采访在当地扎根发展的企业。

难民营中的生意人

My family had to escape the war and destruction back in Syria, where I worked as a farmer and a trader. We came to Jordan more than a year ago and lived outside of the Zaatari camp in a nearby town. But we actually decided to move into the refugee camp about three months ago. With businesses sprouting up here quickly, and people making money, I knew this was the place we had to be.
我和家人为躲避战争破坏而离开叙利亚,我曾经是一名农民兼贸易商。我们来到约旦一年多了,住在扎塔里难民营旁边的一个镇上。但三个月前我们决定搬进难民营。这里的企业发展迅速,人们在赚钱,我知道我来对了。

I'm in a privately-owned grocery store in Zaatari camp that has been set up by a Syrian refugee. He's an entrepreneur. He says that he has owned shops back in Syria, and if he had the permission he can actually open up three more shops. This is quite impressive. He's got a huge space in which he's selling everything, from vegetables to detergents to meat and everything in between.
我现在所在的一个私人杂货店是由难民营里的一个叙利亚难民建立的。他是一位企业家,他说他在叙利亚有自己的店铺。如果情况允许的话,他能多开三个。这是很了不起的。他的店铺店面很大,卖很多东西,从蔬菜到清洁剂再到肉类,应有尽有。
