工会成员、家长、教师及其他人士在全国各地参加了大规模示威活动，支持学生们提出的政府应加大对教育投入的诉求。
Union members, parents, teachers and others took part in mass demonstrations around the country, backing student demands that the government invest more in schools.
周二，成千上万的劳工活动家、教师、家长及大学生与高中生们一同走上街头，在法国各地发起抗议。这些跨代际的参与者共同呼吁政府着手改善状况不佳的学校体系。
Labor activists, teachers, parents and university students turned out by the thousands on Tuesday to join high school students in demonstrations that swept across France, adding an intergenerational range of voices to demands that government fix ailing schools.
最大规模的示威人群聚集在巴黎。数千名学生及其支持者从共和国广场出发，行进约两英里后抵达民族广场，沿途抗议学校师资短缺、教室拥挤不堪以及校舍破旧等问题。
The largest crowds massed in Paris, where thousands of students and their supporters marched about two miles from République to Nation, two of the city’s main squares, protesting school understaffing, overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated buildings, among other complaints.
一块标语牌上写着：“伤害年轻人就等于侮辱未来”；另一块则写道：“我不想成为高墙上的一块砖。”尽管警方严阵以待，巴黎抗议现场的氛围依然欢快。据政府统计，全国共有25.6万人参与示威，其中巴黎有5.6万人；一家大型工会则估计全国参与人数是其两倍以上。
“Hitting the young amounts to insulting the future,” one sign read, while another said, “I don’t want to be another brick in the wall.”In spite of a heavy police presence, the mood at the Paris protest was cheerful. The government estimated that 56,000 people took part, among 256,000 demonstrating nationwide; a major labor union cited a national figure more than twice as large.
61岁的凯瑟琳·热古是一名中学教师，也是学校工作者工会的成员。她表示自己前来是为了支持高中生们，因为他们的诉求与教师们长期以来的呼声不谋而合。“多年来我们一直呼吁为公立教育体系提供更多资源，”她说。她还批评政府的政策偏袒私立学校而忽视公立学校。
Catherine Jegou, 61, a middle schoolteacher and member of a union of school workers, said she had come to support the high school students, whose demands echoed those of teachers. “For years we have demanded that the public school system have more means,” she said. She also criticized the government for policies she said support private schools more than public institutions.
78岁的罗杰·拉利耶是一名退休工程师，身穿某大型工会马甲。他专程从距离巴黎近200英里的勃艮第赶来支持学生们。“我曾亲身参与1968年5月的抗议运动，”他说。那场由学生发起的抗议活动几乎推翻了当时的政府，也彻底改变了法国社会的面貌。
Roger Lallier, 78, a retired engineer who was wearing the vest of a major workers’ union, said he came all the way from Bourgogne, nearly 200 miles from Paris, to support the students. “I was part of May 68,” he said, referring to nationwide protests initiated by students in 1968 that nearly toppled the government and transformed French society.
“法国的现状真是糟糕透顶，”拉利耶说道，他对高中教育的现状深感惋惜，并补充道：“我们的教育水平已经远远低于几年前的水平。”他希望明年的总统选举能让一个“真正的左翼政府”上台，带来真正的变革。
“It’s misery in France,” Mr. Lallier said, lamenting the state of high schools, adding, “we’ve fallen far lower than where we were at a few years ago.”He said that he hopes the presidential election next year will bring a “real left-wing government” to power, offering what he called real change.
20岁的露丝·阿万扎塔过去两年一直修读电影研究课程。她参加此次抗议活动，是为了助力扩大几周前由高中生发起的这场运动。她称赞这些高中生取得了年长学生未能取得的成果，成功“让自己的声音被听到”。“对我来说，现在正是改变现状的良机，”阿万扎塔说道。
Luce Avanzata, 20, who has been enrolled in a cinema studies program for the past two years, said she came to the protest to help broaden the movement that high school students had launched weeks ago. She applauded the high schoolers for succeeding where older students had not and for “managing to make themselves heard.”“For me it’s the moment to change things,” Ms. Avanzata said.
许多家长和工会成员表示，他们参与学校封锁行动，是为了确保抗议活动保持和平，保护年轻人免受与警察冲突的伤害。不过部分抗议活动演变成了暴力事件，一些学校遭人纵火，警方也逮捕了数千人，同时还面临执法手段过激的指责。
Parents and union members said they had joined school blockades to ensure the protests remained peaceful and protect young people from confrontations with police. Some of the demonstrations have turned violent, some schools have been set on fire, and the police have made thousands of arrests, while facing accusations of heavy-handed law enforcement.
“学会如何抗议是一个完整的过程，”53岁的克莱尔·朗曼说道。她的儿子也参与了抗议活动。周二上午，她加入了巴黎北部埃莱娜·布歇高中前的封锁行动。“我相信社会可以通过集体努力实现变革，所以我真心希望这次行动能取得成功，”她补充道。
“There’s a whole process of learning how to protest,” said Claire Langmann, 53, a mother of a protesting student who joined the blockade in front of Hélène Boucher High School in northern Paris on Tuesday morning. “I believe society can change through collective effort, so I really want to see this succeed,” she added.
随后，抗议者与防暴警察在该校门前发生冲突，最终警方驱散了封锁人群。
Scuffles later broke out in front of the school between protesters and riot police, who broke up the blockade.
25岁的心理学专业学生乔治斯·蓬斯莱表示，她参加活动既是为了支持高中生的运动，也是为了呼吁增加高等教育的经费投入。由于政府计划冻结大学生的社会福利，她警告称，那些不得不兼职打工的学生将会陷入更艰难的处境。
Georges Poncelet, a 25-year-old psychology student, said she came out to support the high school movement, but also to demand more funding for higher education. With the government planning to freeze social benefits for college students, she warned that students who had to work part time would struggle even more.
“我站出来是为了维护学生在社会中的地位——在这个号称以未来为重的社会中，学生的地位实在过于边缘化，”她说道。
“I came to assert the place of students in society, a place that is extremely marginalized, in a society that claims to be thinking about the future,” she said.
庞斯莱女士说，她对年轻的学生感到感激，并看到他们抗议感到感动，特别是因为她住在塞纳街。丹尼斯是巴黎北部的一个工人阶级郊区，那里的几所高中组织了对学校的封锁。庞斯莱女士举着标语，上面写着“Z世代：没有钱，没有住房，没有治疗师，没有恐惧”和“预算用于催泪瓦斯，永远不要用于医疗保健”。周一，领先的极左政党法国Unbow的领导人让-吕克·梅朗雄呼吁愿意参加抗议活动的成年人佩戴白色臂章。
Ms. Poncelet said she felt grateful for the younger students and was moved to see them protest, especially because she lives in Seine-St.-Denis, a working-class suburb north of Paris where several high schools have organized blockades at schools. Ms. Poncelet held signs saying, “Gen Z: no money, no housing, no therapist, no fear” and “budget for tear gas, never for health care.”On Monday Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of France Unbowed, the leading far-left political party, had called on adults willing to take part in the protest to wear white armbands.
73岁的退休钢琴家多米尼克·戈丁（Dominique Godin）周二在巴黎抗议时佩戴了一架。他说他来这里是为了表达对高中生的支持并保护他们。
Dominique Godin, 73, a retired pianist, wore one as he protested in Paris on Tuesday. He said he was there to show his support for high school students and to protect them.
先生戈丁有一个18岁的女儿，她回忆道：“我曾经上高中，上大学。50年后看到类似的情况是无法忍受的。”
Mr. Godin, who has an 18-year-old daughter, recalled, “I was once in high school, in university. To see there are similar situations 50 years later is impossible to bear.”
他说，年轻人“意识到他们将不得不管理自己的未来，因为老一辈人没有这样做。Ephrat Livni对本文有报道贡献。
Young people, he said, “are realizing that they’re going to have to manage their own future, since the older generations aren’t doing it.”Ephrat Livni contributed reporting.
