進入《中英對照讀新聞》Japanese woman steals million for imaginary boyfriend： police／警方說︰日本一名女子為想像中的男友盜取百萬美元
◎ 魏國金
A Japanese woman allegedly stole a million dollars for her "boyfriend" who had emailed her a picture of a good-looking man but shunned contact in person for years, police and reports said.
日本1名女子涉嫌為她的「男友」盜取100萬美元，該名男友只透過電子郵件寄給她1張俊男照，卻多年迴避碰面，警方與媒體指出。
Sachiko Tsukada, 30, reportedly met the man on an Internet dating site in late 2001 but had never met him in real life until a lawsuit brought them together in October.
30歲的塚田幸子據稱於2001年末，在約會網站認識該男，然而在真實生活中卻未曾見過他，直到去年10月間，一起訴訟將兩人牽引一起。
Tsukada, a former accounting official at a transport company, was arrested on theft charges along with her unemployed 32-year-old suitor, Masafumi Hirosawa.
曾經是一家運輸公司會計職員的塚田，與她32歲的失業求婚者廣澤正文一起被以竊盜罪逮捕。
They allegedly "conspired to steal a total of 2.5 million yen by withdrawing money from the company’s bank account five times" in the central city of Nagoya last year, a police spokesman said.
他們在去年的名古屋市中心，涉嫌「從公司的銀行帳戶提款5次，共謀盜取250萬日圓」，警方1名發言人說。
Police are continuing investigations as the total sum of money they stole is believed to be 120 million yen, the official said.
這名警官指出，警方仍繼續調查該案，因為據信他們竊取的總金額達1億2000萬日圓。
Hirosawa asked her to send him money, saying he needed it for treatment of his sick mother, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun. Tsukada initially sent money from her own bank account or through borrowing but eventually started stealing from the company, it said. He reportedly used the money to fund a life of debauchery.
讀賣新聞報導，廣澤要求她匯錢，指他需要錢來救治生病的母親。報導指出，塚田最初從她銀行帳戶或透過借款將錢匯給他，不過最後開始偷公司的錢。據稱，他用這些錢過聲色犬馬的生活。
