  “移动提款机”指经常被抢劫的非法移民或农民工,他们没有银行账户,所以只能把钱都带在身上。他们也不敢把钱放在住的地方,因为他们通常都跟好几个人共住一套房子。

  Since many undocumented immigrants are unable to open bank accounts, theyare often forced to carry large amounts of cash, making them susceptible tocrimes of robbery or theft.

  因为很多没有合法身份的移民都没办法到银行开户,所以经常不得不把大量现金带在身上,由此很容易成为抢劫和盗窃的受害者。
