Customs officials at a Chinese airport had a nasty surprise when they opened a couple's luggage and discovered it contained hundreds of live cockroaches, it's reported.
据报道，在给一对夫妇的行李进行检查时，中国一机场的海关人员被里面数百只的活蟑螂给吓坏了。
According to the Beijing Youth Daily, security at southern Guangdong's Baiyun International Airport noticed movement in an elderly couple's luggage when they placed their bags through an x-ray machine.
据《北京青年报》报道，在对一对老夫妻的行李进行常规X光检查时，广州白云国际机场的安检人员注意到里面有可移动的物体。
There was a white plastic bag with lots of black items moving inside, security guard Xu Yuyu told Kankan News.
安检员许育瑜告诉看看新闻的记者，行李里面有一个白色塑料袋，袋子里面有很多黑色的物体在移动。

"One of the staff opened their luggage and a roach crawled out of it. She almost cried," Ms Xu added.
许育瑜补充称：“一名工作人员打开了他们的行李，一只蟑螂爬了出来。她差点儿就哭了。”
When asked why they were transporting the cockroaches, the husband told officials that they were an ointment for his wife's skin.
当被问到为何要带这些蟑螂坐飞机时，老先生告诉安检员说，这些蟑螂是治疗他妻子的皮肤病的药膏。
He did not specify what her condition was, but Ms Yu says officials were told: "They were part of an old folk remedy. You mix the roaches in some medicinal cream and put it on your skin."
他没有告知他妻子的具体病情，但是许育瑜表示，老先生告诉安检员，“这是一种偏方，可以把这些蟑螂放进一种药膏中，然后涂抹到皮肤上”
Beijing Youth Daily says that because living organisms are not permitted in on-flight hand luggage, the couple chose to leave them with security staff.
《北京青年报》称，因为活物是不允许装入航班的手提行李中的，所以这对老夫妇决定将这袋蟑螂留给了安检人员。
