 Kevin Mitnick, the infamous hacker, has found a new and controversial
way to make money: auctioning his personal items online. Released in January after serving nearly five years in prison for hacking-related crimes, Mitnick is selling his prison identification card and autographed "Free Kevin" bumper stickers on start-up auction site Dutchbid.com. Forbidden by the terms of his release from using a computer or the Internet, Mitnick is selling the items through his father. .  Kevin
Mitnick：凯文·米特尼克，劣迹斑斑的世界头号黑客，他曾经多次入侵美国安全系统与各大公司，在95年被判刑五年。 auction：拍卖；米特尼克这次的赚钱方法很特别，在网上公然拍卖他的私人物件。 identification
card：身份证；米特尼克把他在监狱里的身份证明也拿出来拍卖，这下可引起了各大网站的不满。 autographed：亲笔签名的。 bumper
sticker：汽车保险杠上的帖条；米特尼克在帖条上写道“自由的凯文”以示抗议。 start-up：刚开始的，刚成立的；由于其他大网站都禁止他拍卖在监狱中的身份证，特米尼克只好找到刚成立的Dutchbid.com。 Although Mitnick has already sold a mobile phone and a TRS-80 pocket
computer through eBay, the leading auction site canceled his auction
of the ID card, Mitnick said Thursday. After Yahoo.com and Amazon.com canceled
similar auctions of the card on their sites, Mitnick moved the auction to
Dutchbid.com. Insisting that the auction is legal, Mitnick called the actions of the leading auction sites "ridiculous and absurd." "I'm insulted by it," Mitnick said. "If there was a law against it, then I wouldn't blame them." eBay：电子港湾，一家著名的电子商务网站；米特尼克已经在这家网站上卖出了一个手机与一个笔记本电脑。 ridiculous：荒谬的,
可笑的。 absurd：荒唐愚蠢的；米特尼克认为他受到了侮辱，并且说，“如果有法律对付他们的话，我做的就不会仅仅是谴责了”。Representatives from Yahoo and Amazon confirmed that the sites canceled the auctions, believing the sale of the ID card was against the law. eBay representatives declined to comment. "It's illegal to sell something that's owned by the federal government," said Amazon spokeswoman Richele Craveiro. "If he wants to relist the item, he has to have written proof from the government that he can sell it." representative：代表，发言人；亚虎和亚马逊的发言人说他们禁止米特尼克拍卖身份证的原因是认为这样做不合法，而电子港湾的发言人则拒绝评论原因。 written
proof：书写的证据；亚马逊的发言人要求米特尼克拿出政府同意他拍卖的证据才可以在网站上重新拍卖。 |
