AS IT IS 2016-01-05 Sweden, Denmark Block Borders to Stop Migrants 瑞典和丹麦封锁界阻挡移民进入

Sweden imposed¹ border controls Monday to manage refugees² and migrants seeking new lives there.

Travelers passing from Denmark into Sweden must show photo identification³. The move by Sweden is an attempt to stop the flow of undocumented migrants into the country. 

从星期一开始，从丹麦进入瑞典的旅游者将必须出示带照片的身份证件。

The move by Sweden is an attempt to stop the flow of undocumented migrants into the country known for its generous welfare system.  The new measure means Sweden is closing its open-door migrant policy after receiving 160,000 migrants last year.  Neighboring Denmark only took in 18,000.

瑞典采取这一措施是为了阻止没有身份证明文件的移民涌入境内。瑞典以其慷慨的福利制度著称。这项新措施意味着瑞典将停止实施向移民敞开大门的政策。瑞典去年接收了16万移民，邻国丹麦只接收了一万八千人。

Travelers have been warned to expect long lines on the Danish side of the Oresund Bridge, a major entry point for migrants seeking a new life in Sweden.

有关当局对旅行者发出警告说，在厄勒海峡大桥的丹麦一端要排长队等候。厄勒海峡大桥是试图前往瑞典寻求新生活的移民们的主要入境点。

The re-introduction of the border controls between Sweden and Denmark means that travelers between the two Nordic countries will have to show their passports for the first time in more than 50 years.

在瑞典和丹麦之间重新实行边境控制措施，意味着在这两个北欧国家间旅行的人50多年来将首次被要求出示护照。
