Hungary Criticized for Hyping Fear of Migrants, Muslims 匈牙利因渲染移民恐惧氛围遭批

BUDAPEST— Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban raised eyebrows¹ when he said refugees and migrants flooding through the country are a potential threat to Europe's Christian² values.

Most of them are Muslim and fleeing war and poverty in Asia and the Middle East. The comments ruffled³ Hungary's Muslim minority.

At least 5,000 refugees and migrants cross from Hungary to Austria every day, many seeking asylum⁴ from war and persecution⁵ back home.

每天至少有5000名难民和移民从匈牙利进入奥地利境内，许多人是为了躲避国内的战争和迫害，寻求收容。

“Most of them are very tired. So, you can see that they are tired. But, also many are happy to be here in Austria, to have crossed the border to Austria,” said Gerald Pangl, a spokesman for the Burgenland Police Department, in Austria.

“其中大部分人非常疲惫。你可以看到他们非常疲惫。但是，也有许多人非常高兴能够来到奥地利，穿越边境进入奥地利境内。”奥地利布尔根兰州警察局发言人Gerald Pangl说。

Less welcoming

Hungary has been less welcoming, determined⁶ to hold back the tide by erecting⁷ barriers along Serbia and Croatia to protect the European Union's borders.

匈牙利则不那么欢迎他们，决定在与塞尔维亚和克罗地亚边境处设立栅栏来抑制移民潮，保护欧盟边境。

Europe's Christian values are at stake, said Hungary's prime minister, a sentiment that broadly plays well at home, but not with everyone.

匈牙利总理表示，欧洲的基督徒价值观岌岌可危。他们的情操在国内表现得很好，但并不是对每个人都好。

“I’m a native Hungarian. And, for me, it's not a good thing to hear such comments. ... I hope that the politicians don't mean it seriously, because this can undermine the structure or the peace in the society,” said Sultan Sulok, president of the Organization of Muslims in Hungary.

“我是匈牙利本土人。对我来说，听到这样的评论并不是好事。我希望政客们不是真的决定这样做，因为这会影响整个社会的结构与和平。”匈牙利穆斯林组织主席Sultan Sulok表示。

Playing up fears of Islam and migrants may give a boost of political support, but it also gives Hungary an image of intolerance.

夸大对伊斯兰教和移民的恐惧或许会获得更强的政治支持，但是也会造成匈牙利不能海纳百川的形象。

Calm, quiet way

Lucaci Jeno, who lives in Budapest, called on Hungary’s leaders to be less outspoken⁸ in their handling of the situation.

住在布达佩斯的Lucaci Jeno呼吁匈牙利领导们在处理目前的形势方面应该有所保留。

“This situation should be handled in a more calm, more quiet way as we can see how Romania and Croatia deals with it,” said Jeno.

“目前的形势应该以更加冷静，更加安静的方式处理，就像罗马尼亚和克罗地亚那样。”

Despite two centuries under the Muslim Ottoman Empire, there are fewer than 50,000 Muslims in mainly Christian Hungary.

尽管穆斯林奥斯曼帝国统治长达两个世纪之久，而主要是基督徒的匈牙利穆斯林人数却不足5万人。

But it is prosperity, not intolerance, that drives Muslim refugees to settle elsewhere in Europe.

但是，促使穆斯林难民到欧洲其他地方定居的并不是因为不包容，而是因为经济繁荣。

Despite recent rhetoric⁹, Hungary's Muslim leadership said they are well-treated and integrated in this society.

尽管最近出现这样的言论，匈牙利穆斯林领袖表示，他们在这个社会中受到了善待，而且与他们和平共处，融为一体。
