随着2012年12月21日的临近,利用末日进行敛财的骗人手段也不断出现。连日来,江苏、重庆、福建、四川、武汉等多地警方已因散布末日谣言拘留近百人。
请看相关报道:
The people, all belonging to the Almighty God cult, spread doomsday rumors door-to-door or at public venues and claimed that only the cult could save peoples lives, according to police.
据警方通报,被拘留的这些人都是全能神邪教人员,他们到居民家门口或者在公共场所散布末日谣言,并声称只有他们这个教才能拯救他们的生命。
Doomsday rumor就是末日谣言。英语中有不少表达世界末日的词汇,比如:doomsday在宗教意义上指最后审判日,也称为Judgment Day;比较通俗的说法为end of the world;另外还有apocalypse,强调的是世界末日时的毁灭意味。
由世界末日传言引发的各类骗局可称为doomsday scam,前段时间某地发生的抢购蜡烛事件则属于panic buying。所有这些行为都属于undermining social order的行为,均已被警方制止。
