逃犯不堪北京霧霾 肺炎復發後回老家自首

Finally there's some good news about the choking air in China's capital Beijing.

中國首都北京的霧霾終於帶來了一些好消息。

A man hiding in the city to evade police had to turn himself in as the polluted air caused a recurrence of his pneumonia.

據報道，一名盜竊犯潛逃到北京，但因爲北京霧霾引發肺炎復發，只能輾轉回老家投案自首。

The 20-year-old man is suspected of stealing cash and items valued at 10,000 yuan ($1,540) with other accomplices in his hometown of Qidong county in Central China's Hunan province last month. Out of fear, he evaded police and stayed with friends in Beijing.

這名男子20歲，上個月和其同夥在中國中部湖南省祁東縣盜竊了價值一萬元（1540美元）的物品。由於害怕警方的追捕，他選擇潛逃到北京。

The man has been weak from a young age and caught pneumonia when in middle school. This time, the heavy smog led to a recurrence of the illness a week after he arrived in Beijing.

但是這名男子從小體弱，上中學時患上了肺炎。這次在潛逃到北京一週後，重度霧霾使得他的肺炎復發。

However, he dared not seek help at a public hospital for fear of disclosing his identity. But private doctors strongly advised him to seek better treatment.

然而，他害怕暴露身份，並不敢去公立醫院醫治。但私立醫院強烈建議他去尋求更好的治療。

Seeing no hope in the capital, he was forced to return to his hometown and turn himself in to police.

看到在首都醫治無望，他被迫回老家並向公安機關投案自首。
