Panhandler
“Panhandler” 是名词，美式用语，指在街头、路口向陌生人伸手要钱或讨施舍的人，由 “panhandle”（沿街乞讨）派生而来。报道与城市治理语境中常见，语气相对中性，略偏新闻用语。
- “A panhandler asked for change near the subway exit.” (地铁出口附近有人向路人讨零钱。)
- “The city debated new policies for panhandlers downtown.” (该市就是否出台市中心乞讨管理政策展开讨论。)
- “She gave her sandwich to a panhandler on the corner.” (她把三明治给了街角一位乞讨者。)
“Panhandle” 可能由 “pan”（乞丐讨饭的盘子）与 “handle”（伸手处理、应对）联想而成，19 世纪末在美国固定为“沿街乞讨”之义，“panhandler” 为施动者名词。
“-er” 表“做……的人”，panhandle + -er → 沿街乞讨者；动词 panhandle 亦常见。
在美国城市议题中，“panhandler” 常与 homelessness、public safety 等话题并置；英国更常说 “beggar” 或 “rough sleeper”。报道时需注意语境，避免去人格化称呼。
- 固定搭配: “street panhandler” (街头乞讨者)
- 动词: panhandle, panhandling
“pan + handler”：拿着 pan（讨饭盘）在街头 handle 路人的人。
“The panhandler nodded gratefully when a commuter dropped a dollar into his cup without breaking stride.” (一位通勤者脚步未停，往他杯里投了一美元，乞讨者感激地点了点头。)
