“蟻貪”的精明之處在于見(jiàn)錢(qián)就收、見(jiàn)毛就拔、單次金額少、受賄次數(shù)多、持續(xù)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)……

請(qǐng)看相關(guān)報(bào)道：

Two education bureau officials in Tiantai, Zhejiang province, demanded kickbacks from a local printing company for each exam paper it printed. Within five years they received kickbacks of as much as 250,000 yuan from about 25 million exam papers. The practice of repeatedly embezzling while only taking small amounts of money each time is described by netizens as ants eating style of corruption.

蟻貪多發(fā)生在基層公職人員（grassroots officials）中。與被稱(chēng)作“老虎”的腐敗高官（corrupt high-ranking officials）相比，蟻貪的特征是單次金額少，受賄次數(shù)多、持續(xù)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)、不容易被察覺(jué)（not very noticeable）。

“蟻貪”任其發(fā)展必危及經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和社會(huì)穩(wěn)定，破壞黨和政府形象（undermine the government image），影響黨群干群關(guān)系（estrange the government from the people）。
