周二，法国各地的学生、教师及家长走上街头，发起大规模抗议活动，抗议学校师资短缺、设施破旧等问题。警方向封锁高中校门的示威者发射了催泪瓦斯。在马赛和南特，抗议者举着写有“国家正在毁掉国民教育”等字样的标语牌，举行了基本和平的集会。在图卢兹，家长们手挽手走在游行队伍的最前面。
Police fired tear gas at protesters blockading French high schools on Tuesday as students, teachers and parents took to the streets on the biggest day of action in a wave of demonstrations against understaffed and dilapidated classrooms. In Marseille and Nantes, protesters held up signs marked with "The state has killed national education" and other messages, in largely peaceful rallies. In Toulouse, parents linked arms at the front of a march through the city. But in Strasbourg, Lyon and Rennes, the demonstrations at times turned violent, with police firing tear gas and protesters lighting fires in the streets and hurling projectiles."
但在斯特拉斯堡、里昂和雷恩，示威活动不时演变为暴力冲突：警方发射催泪瓦斯，示威者则在街上点火并投掷杂物。斯特拉斯堡的一名刚高中毕业的学生雨果·韦策尔说道：“精英阶层与我们之间存在着巨大的鸿沟。”
There is such a gap between the elites and us," said Hugo Vetzel, a recent high-school graduate in Strasbourg. The protests began in September in the deprived suburbs of Paris, before spreading nationwide, presenting a major challenge to President Emmanuel Macron's cash-strapped government at a time when it faces strong economic headwinds.
这些抗议活动始于9月份的巴黎贫困郊区，随后蔓延至全国，给正面临严峻经济困境、财政紧张的马克龙政府带来了巨大压力。法国高中生联合会称，全国超过半数的高中遭到封锁或被迫停课。部分地方教育部门则试图将课程转为线上教学。
The High School Students Union said more than half of France's high schools were blockaded or would close for the day. Some local education authorities have tried to move classes online." We want more money for the national educational system so that high schools are renovated," said Roberta, another recent high-school graduate at a protest outside Paris' prestigious Henri IV school.
“我们希望政府为教育体系投入更多资金，以便对高中进行翻修，”另一位刚高中毕业的学生罗伯塔在巴黎著名的亨利四世中学外的抗议现场说道。她补充说，这些学校面临着从漏水到鼠患频发等一系列问题。
Schools were facing a list of problems from water leaks to rat infestations, she added. Thousands of arrests madeThe government has responded to the demonstrations with riot police.
政府已派出防暴警察应对示威活动。人权组织、学生及家长团体指责当局对未成年人使用了过度武力。政府方面则声称，此次抗议活动已被外部势力操控，进而演变成了城市暴力事件。据法国内政部统计，自抗议活动爆发以来，已有6100人被捕，其中绝大多数为未成年人。
Rights groups, students and parent groups have accused authorities of using disproportionate force against minors. The government says the protest movement has been hijacked by outsiders and morphed into urban violence. France's interior ministry said 6,100 people have been arrested since the protests began, the overwhelming majority of them minors. More than 1,800 people are being prosecuted, including 1,483 minors, the justice ministry said, without specifying the crimes.
据法国司法部透露，目前有1800多人正面临起诉，其中包括1483名未成年人，但并未说明具体的罪名。据勒科努办公室的消息，冲突中至少有715名警察和215名青少年受伤。周一，在法国北部，高中抗议者与防暴警察发生冲突，一名青少年的手被炸断。当地报纸《北方之声》报道称，这名15岁的少年捡起一枚警方使用的驱散用手榴弹后导致手部及部分前臂受伤。
At least 715 police officers and 215 teenagers have been injured in clashes, according to Lecornu's office.A teenager's hand was blown off as high-school protesters clashed with riot police in northern France on Monday. The regional newspaper La Voix du Nord said the 15-year-old lost his hand and part of his lower arm after picking up a police dispersal grenade." They want to divide the young people into good and bad protesters," said Omar Slaouti, a high school teacher in Argenteuil, a northwestern suburb of Paris." If there were no trash cans on fire, the government would not have stepped back and become aware of the issues at stake," he added.
“他们试图将抗议的年轻人划分为‘好学生’和‘坏学生’，”巴黎西北郊阿让特伊市的一名高中教师奥马尔·斯劳蒂说道，“如果没有那么多垃圾桶被点燃，政府也不会退缩并意识到问题的严重性。”
Six months before an election to replace Macron, his government and Le Pen's National Rally party have accused hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) lawmakers and mayors of stoking the protests.
在马克龙下台选举即将于六个月后举行之际，其领导的政府与勒庞领导的国民联盟党均指责极左翼政党“不屈法国”的议员及地方市长煽动抗议活动。“不屈法国”则予以否认。总理承诺作出回应总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科努已指示各部长着手解决学生提出的主要诉求，包括及时安排代课教师、重新评估上午8点至下午6点的上课时长以及延长午休时间。勒科努还表示，政府也将着手修缮年久失修的校舍，并要求各部长在10月底前提交初步方案。
LFI denies the accusation. Prime minister promises a responsePrime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has ordered his ministers to tackle the students' leading demands. Those include ensuring absent teachers are replaced, reviewing the length of the 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. school day and the need for longer lunch breaks. The government will also look at repairs needed to aging school buildings, said Lecornu, who demanded ministers send in their first proposals by the end of October.
在巴黎埃莱娜·布歇中学外的抗议现场，家长埃米莉·洛姆指出，仅靠政府的口头承诺远远不够：“这些提议听起来不错，但并不能真正改善我们孩子的日常生活。”
Parent Emilie Lhomme said at a protest outside the Helene Boucher school in Paris that the government's words were not enough.
然而，要筹措资金落实教育改革实属不易。当前，投资者对法国日益膨胀的债务规模、疲软的经济增长以及政府不愿控制开支的状况深感担忧，导致国债收益率持续攀升。在此背景下，政府面临着缩小不断扩大的预算赤字的压力。
"That's all fine and dandy, but that's not what's going to change the daily lives of our children," she said. Finding spare cash to implement educational reforms will be difficult. The government is under pressure to try to narrow a ballooning budget deficit as investor concerns about France's growing debt pile, weak growth and reluctance to rein in spending push bond yields higher.
法国10年期国债收益率上周一度冲击至24年来最高的5%以上。法国的借款成本上升已开始蔓延至整个欧元区，而欧元币种的下滑则成为政策制定者的最新警示信号。法国财政部长罗兰·勒苏尔周二表示，无需欧洲央行介入。领先于明年春季大选的远右翼欧洲怀疑论 populist 领袖马琳·勒庞阐述了如果当选将削减公共支出的计划，试图在债券市场危机加深时树立其财政信誉。
The yield on France's 10-year bonds briefly hit a 24-year high of over 5% last week. The surge in French borrowing costs has started to spill into the broader euro area, with the sliding euro currency the latest alarm bell for policymakers. Finance Minister Roland Lescure said on Tuesday there was no need for the European Central Bank to step in. Marine Le Pen, the far-right euro-skeptic populist leading the presidential race ahead of next spring's election, set out plans to slash public spending if elected, seeking to establish her fiscal credibility as the bond market crisis deepens.
