So far this year, half of all asylum applications in the European Union have been filed there, although the country accounts for only 16% of the EU’s population. By September, Germany had probably received some 400,000 applications or more, with the dramatic increase in migration flows since summer and before the reinstatement of border controls expected to push the number of asylum-seekers to 800,000 this year.
德国是移民最爱的目的地。今年截至目前，欧盟所有闭户申请中有一半是在德国填写的，尽管德国人口只占欧洲人口的16%。截至9月，德国可能已经接受了400,000或以上申请，而夏季以来、边境管制恢复以前移民数量的剧增预计将让今年寻求庇护人数提高到800,000。
