在巴黎北部郊区的一所高中,抗议活动愈演愈烈,埃琳·奥古内耶(Erin Ogunkeye)很高兴能采访到一位同意匿名与我们对话的高中老师。这些抗议活动无情地暴露了存在多年的重大问题。
Erin Ogunkeye is pleased to welcome a high school teacher who agreed to speak with us anonymously as protests intensify at a high school in a northern Paris suburb. The protests are shining a cruel light on major problems that have existed for years.
与此同时,警察对学生进行镇压,使用催泪瓦斯和强硬手段,而学生们则封锁了校门。
All the while, police are cracking down on students, using teargas and strongarm tactics as students blockade entrances.
对于这位高中老师来说,抗议活动反映了对学生们日常学习环境的担忧。
For this high school teacher, the protests reflect concerns about everyday conditions in which students are expected to learn.
他们的诉求并非抽象的政治主张,而是要求获得一个能让他们有效学习的环境。
Their demands are not abstract political claims. They are asking for an environment that allows them to learn effectively.
