　　Migrant Workers

This is particularly the case in the Middle East,1 __ 2 __ increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to __ 3 __ outsiders to improve local facilities. __ 4 __ the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries, __ 5 __ South Korea and Japan.

　　In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, 2 it is not __ 6 __ that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least __7__ money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major attraction. An allied benefit is the low taxation or complete lack of it. 3 This increases the net amount of pay received by visiting workers and is very popular with them.

　　Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating advantage. __ 8__, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other __ 9 __ safety and comfort. __ 10 __, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly__ 11 __ the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions __ 12 __ problems rather than do routine work in their home country.

　　One major problem which __ 13 __ migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence.

　　移民工人

　　在過去的20年，工人從一個(gè)國家到另一個(gè)國家的趨勢越來越大。一些剛剛獨(dú)立的國家把大部分工作留給當(dāng)?shù)厝?，這一點(diǎn)是可以理解的，而另一些卻吸引和歡迎移民工人。中東地區(qū)的情況尤為如此。那里增加的石油收入使很多國家能夠召集外面的人來改進(jìn)本地設(shè)施。因此中東吸引了來自美國和歐洲的石油工人。它還從包括韓國和日本的許多國家引入了建筑工人和技師。

　　由于中東地區(qū)艱苦的生活和工作條件，吸引合適的工人的費(fèi)用是很高的，這不足為奇。許多工程師和技師在中東至少可以掙到他們在自己國家兩倍的收入，這是最大的吸引力。一個(gè)相關(guān)的好處是這里的稅收低，或者根本就不收稅。這增加了來訪工人的凈收入，而且很受他們歡迎。

　　有時(shí)一個(gè)劣勢就有一個(gè)補(bǔ)償?shù)膬?yōu)勢。例如，艱苦的生活條件常常導(dǎo)致更深的友誼，因?yàn)楣と藗優(yōu)榱税踩褪孢m必須互相依賴。同樣，許多移民工人能夠存很多錢，部分原因是因?yàn)槟抢锶鄙賷蕵吩O(shè)施。工作通常是復(fù)雜的，而且充滿問題，但是這會(huì)向那些更愿解決問題而不是在自己國家里做例行工作的工程師們提出更大的挑戰(zhàn)。

　　影響中東的移民工人的一個(gè)主要問題是他們的工作是暫時(shí)性的。他們幾乎都是合同工，所以要讓他們很有信心地事前做出計(jì)劃是很難的。人們希望這樣，是因?yàn)闆]有一個(gè)國家歡迎大量的外國工人作為永久居民。無論如何，移民工人像接受其他不足一樣接受這個(gè)不足，因?yàn)樗麄兊玫降氖强捎^的經(jīng)濟(jì)利益。
