据英国《每日邮报》报道,为了混入意大利境内,一位非法移民铤而走险,竟藏身汽车前盖下长达20小时。

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.
