Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned. 阿曼德.贾洛，曾是一个22岁德雷朋音乐爱好者，他刚大学毕业并找到一份在高中教科学的工作。但是欧洲召唤他来了。 In his West African homeland, Mr. Jallow’s salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambia’s largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe. 在他的西非家乡，贾洛先生的薪水大概是50欧元一个月，他说这刚够糊口。 而他所住的甘比亚最大的城市赛瑞库达，每个地方都有在欧洲容易挣钱的说法。 Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk.

Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta. 利比亚和北非的其他地区的政局不稳，为成千的新移民打开了通过地中海去欧洲的路途。已有25000人达到了意大利的兰佩杜萨岛，和几百号人到达马耳他岛、 The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans. 起初这些船带的都是突尼斯人，最近带的更多的是撒哈拉里的人。 Experts say thousands more — many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them. 专家称他们中的大多数---几千或更多的人围着北
