由于对国内教育体系现状不满,众多学生封锁了数百所高中。数千名抗议者遭到逮捕,数十人受伤。

近日,成千上万愤怒的学生封锁了法国各地的高中,以抗议教育状况,导致暴力事件不断升级,并与防暴警察发生冲突。
Thousands of angry students have blockaded high schools around France in recent days to protest the state of education, leading to escalating violence and clashes with the riot police.
官方称,自上个月末抗议活动开始以来,已有数十人受伤,数千人被捕,其中大多数为未成年人。此次抗议活动爆发之际,法国政府正试图通过紧缩预算方案,同时该国也即将迎来明年的总统选举。
Dozens of people have been injured since the protests began late last month, and thousands have been arrested, most of them minors, officials said. The protests erupted in a heated climate, as the government tries to pass a belt-tightening budget and as France gears up for presidential elections next year.
法国教育部长爱德华·盖弗雷向BFMTV表示,周四,全国约3700所高中中有超过三分之一被迫停课或教学受阻;周五,这一数字进一步升至400多所。
Over a third of France’s roughly 3,700 high schools were closed or disrupted on Thursday, and over 400 were closed on Friday, Édouard Geffray, France’s education minister, told BFMTV.
教师工会及部分政治人士也加入抗议行列以示声援。法国政府虽认可部分学生的诉求合理,但谴责所谓的“城市暴力”,并指责极左政党“不屈法国”煽动示威活动。该政党则坚决否认这一指控。
Teachers’ unions and some political figures have joined the protests in solidarity. The French government has called some of the students’ demands legitimate but has condemned “urban violence” and accused a far-left party, France Unbowed, of whipping up the demonstrations. The party has rejected the accusation.
部分学生已与暴力行为划清界限,但也有呼声呼吁下周继续举行抗议活动。以下是需要了解的关键信息:为何学生们要发起示威?
Some students have distanced themselves from the violence, but there are calls for more protest in the coming week. Here’s what to know: Why are the students demonstrating?
