荷蘭小夥飛來中國見網友 被放鴿子機場苦等10天!

You might expect love to hurt, but for one lovesick Dutch man in China it resulted in a hospital trip for exhaustion.

你也許認爲愛會造成傷痛，然而對一位在中國的荷蘭男子而言，愛卻導致他因筋疲力盡而被送進了醫院。

Alexander Pieter Cirk, 41, recently flew from Holland to Hunan province in the hope of meeting his online girlfriend, a Chinese woman known only as Zhang. But he ended up spending 10 days waiting at Changsha airport, after she failed to show up. And he has won little sympathy in China.

亞歷山大·皮特·柯克今年41歲，近日他從荷蘭不遠萬里飛到中國湖南，希望與她的網上女友--一名姓張的女子見面。不過他在長沙機場苦等了10天，卻沒見對方人影。而他在中國卻沒獲得多少人的同情。

Mr Cirk told Chinese media that he met Ms Zhang, 26, in an app two months ago and romance blossomed. He decided to fly to visit her, but when he got to Hunan found no-one had come to meet him. He refused to leave the airport for the next 10 days, and was eventually taken to hospital suffering physical exhaustion, according to reports by Hunan TV.

柯克先生接受中國媒體採訪時表示，兩個月前他通過一個手機app認識了26歲的張小姐，二人擦出了火花。於是他決定飛往中國與網友見面，但當他到了湖南後卻發現沒人前來迎接。據湖南電視臺報道，該男子不願離開並在機場守候了10天，最後因體力耗盡被送往醫院。

Ms Zhang contacted the TV channel a day after the report aired to give her side, saying that she had thought it had all been a joke.

一天之後，張小姐看到了新聞報道才聯繫了電視臺，稱她以爲這不過是個玩笑。

"We had advanced our romantic relationship but later he seemed a little callous towards me," Ms Zhang told Hunan TV. "One day he sent me a photo of air tickets abruptly and I thought it was a joke. He didn't contact me later."

“我們的關係一開始進展的不錯，但後來他開始對我冷淡起來。”張小姐告訴湖南電視臺。“有一天他突然發給我一張航班信息的照片，我以爲他在開玩笑。他後來就沒再聯繫我了。”

Ms Zhang also added that by the time Mr Cirk arrived at the airport, she was away having plastic surgery in another province and had turned off her phone.

張小姐還表示，當柯克先生到達機場時，她正在外省做整形手術，手機就關機了。

On Chinese social media, the majority of users were keen to point out the apparent absurdity of the man's actions. The hashtag "Foreign man went to Changsha to meet his online girlfriend" has been trending on micro-blogging site Weibo.

在中國社交媒體上，大部分網友都在指責該男子非常荒唐的行爲。“外國男子飛往長沙見女網友”這一話題也在微博上火了起來。

"He must be stupid, why would anyone do this?" asked one user. "Doesn't he know that everything in China is fake?" said another.

“他肯定很笨，爲什麼會有人這麼做？”一位網友評論道。另一位網友說：“難道他不知道在中國一切都是假的嗎？”

Others, however, had some sympathy.

不過其他一些人還是有些同情心的。

"Here's a guy taking a relationship seriously, don't play around with his feelings," the netizen said. "If you don't want him anymore, tell him so he can go home."

“這是個把感情看得很認真的人，不要玩弄他的感情。”一位網民說。“如果你不再需要他，那就告訴他，這樣他就可以回家了。”
