據英國《每日郵報》報道，爲了混入意大利境內，一位非法移民鋌而走險，竟藏身汽車前蓋下長達20小時。

The 18-year-old Afghan thought he had managed to slip into the country after a 20-hour ferry crossing but his luck ran out when immigration chiefs pulled over the Nissan for a spot check. A search quickly revealed the teenager hidden by the engine with a bottle of water and a blanket to ease his discomfort.

這名18歲的阿富汗男子歷經20小時到達渡口後，原以爲自己如願以償，但其搭乘的尼桑車不幸遭遇移民局檢查站長官攔截，接受例行檢查，之後馬上發現該少年藏在發動機旁，手握一瓶水，還裹着一條毯子緩解不適。

From Kabul, the man had saved money for eight years to make the crossing.
