【英语国际】社交名媛希尔顿因藏毒被日本拒绝入境

Japan can tolerate Paris Hilton's long rap sheet of bad decisions, say, a widely-circulated underground sex tape and that nasty drunk driving incident to name just a few of the lewd and crude. But the country puts its foot down when it comes to drugs. Ms. Hilton headed back to the U.S. Wednesday afternoon after Japanese immigration authorities stopped her at Narita International Airport over the celebutante's guilty plea to a misdemeanor drug charge one day before her arrival in Tokyo. Major buzz kill.

Kazuo Kashihara, a Narita spokesman, would not comment on the reason for the questioning but told JRT that visitors with drug-related criminal records aren't generally allowed entry into the country. Ms. Hilton, who arrived Tuesday, was allowed to shack up in an airport hotel last night while immigration officials continued to investigate the case to determine whether she would be admitted into Japan, scheduled as the first stop on her Asia tour promoting her perfume line and fashion collection. Ms. Hilton was not available for comment, but wrote a chipper farewell on her Twitter account just before taking to the skies: 'About to take off. Going home now. So disappointed to miss my fans in Asia. I promise to come back soon. I love you all! Love Paris xoxo'

The lightning blonde socialite's current conundrum stems from a bad trip to Las Vegas last month where she was arrested when a smidgen of cocaine was found in her purse. Her guilty plea to drug possession and obstructing an officer on Monday apparently made her a marked woman in the eyes of Japanese immigration. Mr. Kashihara said entry decisions in such cases are based on factors like whether the traveler carries a valid passport and visa and the purpose and length of stay in Japan. He did not elaborate on why the investigation went into a second day.

It's a dark turn in Ms. Hilton's relationship with Japan, which opened its arms and wallets to the hotel heiress's fashion collection before she launched to fame in the U.S. with the richly quaint reality series 'The Simple Life,' with Nicole Richie in 2003. She posted a photo of herself posing with her 'BFF/Sis' Nicky Hilton on her Twitter account upon landing in Tokyo - and likely before her unfortunate run in with Japanese immigration. If only she had heeded the advice 'barbarita1974' beforehand, a Twitter user who posted the following comment below the photo Wednesday afternoon: 'Stay away from drugs Japan is much strict that US when it comes to drugs and you are already in deep trouble.'

The bright side of this near-door-in-the-face incident is that it puts Ms. Hilton in a position to join a hassled-by-Japan-immigration club brimming with celebrity A-listers with a drug troubled past. Rockers like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards reportedly had trouble obtaining a visa to tour in Japan in the 1980s. Mr. Richards pled guilty to heroin possession in Canada in 1978. Former Beatles crooner Paul McCartney was arrested at Narita and later jailed for marijuana possession in 1980. Robert Downey Jr.'s drug-stained past from a decade ago stalled his entry when he came to Japan to promote his action flick 'Iron Man' in 2009.

日本可以容忍帕丽斯•希尔顿(Paris Hilton)的错误决定所导致的长长的前科记录，比如广泛流传的秘密性爱录像，或是臭名昭彰的醉酒驾驶事故，这只是其粗俗放荡的事例之一。但当涉及毒品时，这个国家坚决地表明了自己的反对态度。希尔顿因日本拒其入境于周三下午返回美国。日本移民局官员因她在抵达东京的前一天承认了一项与毒品有关的轻罪指控而在成田机场拒绝这位社交名媛入境。这真令狗仔队扫兴。

Associated Press周三，希尔顿抵达成田机场离港大厅。成田机场的发言人Kazuo Kashihara不愿就质询原因发表评论，只是对《华尔街日报》说，拥有与毒品有关犯罪记录的游客通常来说都不允许入境日本。希尔顿于周二抵达日本，她昨晚获许在机场的一家宾馆住宿，同时移民官员继续对情况进行调查，以决定是否允许她入境。按照计划，日本是希尔顿此次亚洲宣称之旅的第一站，她将为自己的香水和时尚品牌做宣传。记者无法联系到希尔顿置评，但就在飞机起飞前，她在自己的Twitter上写下了一封言语轻松的的告别信：马上就要起飞了，现在就要回家了，错过了我在亚洲的粉丝真是遗憾。我保证不久就会回来的。我爱你们！爱你们的帕丽斯，亲吻拥抱你们。

这位拥有巨额财富继承权的金发名媛眼下的麻烦要从她上月前往拉斯维加斯的不愉快之行说起，在那里她的钱包中被查出携带了少量可卡因，希尔顿继而被捕。事后她对藏毒指控的供认以及周一阻挠一官员执法的行为显然使她在日本移民官员眼中成了一个重点“关照”对象。Kashihara说，这类情况是否允许入境将依据一系列因素来决定，如来访者是否携带有效护照和签证，在日本停留的目的及时间。他并未就调查何以持续到第二天的问题进行详述。

这是希尔顿与日本关系的不良转折，早在她依靠2003年与妮可•里奇(Nicole Richie)出演的讲述有钱人生活的真人秀节目《简单生活》(The Simple Life)在美国走红之前，日本就对这位酒店业继承者的时尚产品敞开了双臂，也敞开了钱袋。当飞机降落在东京时，她在Twitter上发布了一张与“永远最好的朋友/妹妹”妮基•希尔顿(Nicky Hilton)的一张合影，这也许是在她不幸撞见日本移民局的官员之前。要是她事先听从了Twitter 用户barbarita1974的忠告就好了，这名用户周三下午在照片下留言说：远离毒品，日本在毒品问题上要比美国严格得多，你已经是麻烦重重了。

这起事件也有积极的一面，它也许会令希尔顿加入一个可以被称作“被日本移民局所烦扰”的俱乐部，其中的许多成员都是惹过毒品麻烦的一线名人。有报导说上世纪80年代摇滚歌手贾格(Mick Jagger)和理查德斯(Keith Richards)在前往日本巡演前申请签证时就遇到了麻烦。理查德斯1978年在加拿大承认藏有海洛因。前披头士乐队歌手保罗•麦卡特尼(Paul McCartney)曾在成田机场被捕，后在1980年因藏有大麻被判入狱。小罗伯特•唐尼(Robert Downey Jr.)十年前的毒品前科也令他在2009年前往日本宣传其动作片《钢铁侠》(Iron Man)时被拒绝入境。
