Three men were forcibly removed because "they were handsome"

三名阿联酋男子在沙特阿拉伯参加年度文化节时,被沙特警方强制驱逐出境,并被遣送回国.理由是警方担心当地女人无法抗拒他们的魅力.

Three men were forcibly removed from an annual culture festival in Saudi Arabia and subsequently sent back to the UAE after it was deemed that women could find them irresistible.

根据阿拉伯当地报纸的报道,阿联酋代表团当时是在沙特的首都利雅得参加一年一度的沙特杰纳第利亚遗产文化节,结果有宗教警方执法人员冲进展馆,以这些男人长得太英俊为由将他们驱逐.

The delegates from the United Arab Emirates were in attendance at the Jenadrivah Heritage & Culture Festival in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, when religious police officers stormed the stand and evicted the men because "they are too handsome", according to the Arabic language newspaper.

阿拉伯联合酋长国则发表官方声明称,被遣走是因为一名未透露姓名的女性艺术家,她当时也是在展馆参与活动,但并未在出席计划之列,所以沙特的宗教警察比较担心.

The UAE released an official statement indicating that the religious police were anxious over the unexpected presence of an unnamed female artist in the pavilion.

阿联酋文化节代表团的负责人在声明中表示："她也是很凑巧的出现在了我们展台,并不在我们已经提交给文化节管理方的活动名单内."

"Her visit to the UAE stand was a coincidence as it was not included in the program which we had already provided to the festival's management," head of the UAE delegation to the festival, said in a statement.

目前还不清楚这名女性的出现与当地警方决定驱逐"英俊" 的阿拉伯男子是否有关.根据报道,事件发生后,文化节的管理方迅速采取行动,将这三名男子遣送回了阿联酋的首都阿布扎比.

It was not clear if the woman's presence was related to the decision to evict the "handsome" Emirati men. Following the incident, the newspaper said the festival's management took swift action to deport the trio back to Abu Dhabi, capital of the Emirates.

沙特阿拉伯的主要人口构成还是逊尼派穆斯林,是一个宗教色彩浓厚的极端保守主义国家.沙特禁止女性与无亲属关系的男性接触,也拒绝让女性享有与男性同等的权利.

With a majority Sunni Muslim population, Saudi Arabia is a deeply religious and ultraconservative society which forbids women from interacting with unrelated males and refuses to accord them with the same rights as men.

这也是世界上惟一一个禁止女性开车的国家.

It is the only country in the world where women are banned from driving.
