随着奥兰治会第一分会的成员们聚集于此,当地居民也占据了加瓦吉路,双方都提及了延续数十年乃至数百年之久的种种不满。德拉姆克里教区教堂与加瓦吉路之间仅相隔半英里,步行仅需15分钟,沿途还能听到鸟鸣声。然而,分别聚集在两地两端的抗议者们却用这些历史积怨来解释:为何一场本以为已尘埃落定的争端,如今再度令北爱尔兰陷入纷争。

As members of Orange Lodge No 1 gather and residents occupy Garvaghy Road, each side speaks of grievances that go back decades and centuries Half a mile of countryside separates Drumcree parish church and Garvaghy Road. You can walk it in 15 minutes, listening to birdsong. The protesters gathered at each end, however, speak of grievances that go back decades and centuries to explain why a dispute once thought settled has returned to torment Northern Ireland.

本周,在德拉姆克里的山丘上,64岁的奥兰治会成员保罗——他不愿透露姓氏——表示,长期以来,他和其他会员一直被剥夺了沿传统路线游行的权利。这条路线本是为了纪念1690年博因河战役及1916年索姆河战役中牺牲的新教先辈们。

Up on the hill at Drumcree this week, Paul, a 64-year-old Orangeman who declined to give his surname, said for too long he and his brethren had been denied the right to parade along a traditional route that would honour Protestant forefathers who fell at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and the Somme in 1916.
