進入《中英對照讀新聞》China Forcing Prisoners to Play Online Games for Cash 中國逼迫囚犯玩線上遊戲斂財
◎陳成良
As a prisoner at the Jixi labour camp, Liu Dali would slog through tough days breaking rocks and digging trenches in the open cast coalmines of north-east China. By night, he would slay demons, battle goblins and cast spells.
身為（黑龍江省）雞西勞改營的囚犯，劉達利（譯音）白天必須忍受艱苦的勞動工作，在中國東北部的露天煤礦場敲石頭、挖坑道；到了晚上，他還得殺魔獸、打妖精、施法術。
Liu says he was one of scores of prisoners forced to play online games to build up credits that prison guards would then trade for real money.
劉某稱，他是眾多被逼迫玩線上遊戲的囚犯之一，增加的遊戲積分接著會被獄警拿去換成真錢。
The 54-year-old, a former prison guard who was jailed for three years in 2004 for "illegally petitioning" the central government about corruption in his hometown, reckons the operation was even more lucrative than the physical labour that prisoners were also forced to do.
54歲的劉某曾擔任獄警，因為「非法上訪」中央政府控訴其家鄉的貪腐現象，2004年被判入獄3年。他估計，獄警逼囚犯玩線上遊戲，比強迫他們做體力勞動更有利可圖。
"There were 300 prisoners forced to play games. We worked 12-hour shifts in the camp. I heard them say they could earn 5,000-6,000rmb a day. We didn’t see any of the money. The computers were never turned off," Liu told the Guardian.
「有300名囚犯被迫玩遊戲。我們在勞改營裡每12小時輪班。我聽他們說一天可賺5000到6000元人民幣。我們從來沒看過任何一毛錢。這些電腦從沒關過機」，劉達利告訴《衛報》說。
"If I couldn’t complete my work quota, they would punish me physically. They would make me stand with my hands raised in the air and after I returned to my dormitory they would beat me with plastic pipes. We kept playing until we could barely see things," he said.
「如果我沒有完成我的工作配額，會遭他們體罰。他們會要我高舉雙手罰站，而回到團體寢室後，他們會用塑膠管抽打我。我們只能一直玩，直到雙眼幾乎看不見東西，」他說。
