我在法国长大，那里所有孩子都被教导关于国家的革命根源以及国家对公民的义务。这些教诲留下了印记。年轻的英国人有很多理由愤怒：沉重的学生债务、私立学校特权、他们无法进入的住房市场。然而，与他们的法国同龄人不同，他们鲜有将这种挫败感转化为集体行动的传统。我作为一个英国人在法国长大，多年来我一直看着我的法国朋友做一些我的英国朋友似乎从未做过的事：走上街头。
I grew up in France, where all children are taught about the revolutionary roots of their nation and what the state owes its citizens. The lessons leave their mark Young British people have plenty to be angry about. Crushing student debt, private-school privilege, a housing market they can’t enter. Yet unlike their French counterparts, they have little tradition of turning that frustration into collective action. I grew up in France as a Briton, and for years I have watched my French friends do something my British ones never seem to: take to the streets.
“公民们，拿起武器！组成你们的营队！让我们行军，让我们行军！”考虑到《马赛曲》激昂的歌词，法国的革命精神并非陈迹，这不足为奇。基蒂·塞耶斯是新闻学硕士生。
“To arms, citizens! Form your battalions! Let’s march, let’s march!”It shouldn’t be too surprising, given the rousing lyrics of La Marseillaise, that France’s revolutionary spirit is not a relic of the past. Kitty Sayers is a master’s student in journalism
