艾莉森·萨金特很高兴能邀请到巴黎第八大学的社会学家兼教授埃里克·法辛。他认为这些学生抗议活动本质上是对平等、尊严与认可的诉求。
Alison Sargent is pleased to welcome Éric Fassin, a sociologist and professor at Paris VIII University. He sees these student protests first and foremost as a demand for equality, dignity and recognition.
来自郊区工人阶级家庭的学生们希望获得能够安心学习的基本条件，最终能享有与其他地区学生同等的机会。
Students from working-class suburbs are asking for the basic conditions that make studying possible and, ultimately, the same opportunities as students elsewhere.
这场始于巴黎郊区学生的抗议活动如今已蔓延开来，但其核心意义始终未变：这是一场具有政治与民主意义的社会运动。
What began among students in the Parisian suburbs has spread, but its fundamental meaning remains the same: this is a social movement with a political and democratic dimension.
法辛还指出，这些抗议活动也是法国长期以来压制社会运动的历史背景下的产物。
He also see these protests in the context of a longer history of repression of social movements in France.
