Sample Sentences
那些会表演的可不是乞讨,人家好歹也付出了劳动。我一般都会帮他们。可是那些跪在路边一动不动的人就难说了,有很多都是假的。一天下来碰上几个像你这么有同情心的人收获可是不小啊。所以现在职业乞丐越来越多了。另外,最怕的就是前面说的那些有组织犯罪性质的乞丐团伙,他们除了拐卖妇女儿童以外,还有可能打着乞讨的幌子,干些偷抢的坏事。这是治安中的大问题。

Besides trafficking in women and children, they may also do bad things like stealing under the pretense of begging. This is a big problem for public safety.
