抵御城门外的野蛮人。一名法国游戏店员工因被拍到勇敢地挺身而出,对抗向他投掷石头的暴徒并阻止他们抢劫店铺,而受到赞誉。
ld off the barbarians at the gate. A French video game store worker has been praised as a hero after he was filmed bravely standing up to stone-throwing rioters as they tried to loot his shop.
这段周末流传的网络视频显示,法国南部城市尼斯的一名销售助理皮埃尔在暴徒试图冲进法国游戏连锁店Micromania的分店时,与他们进行了对峙。
A viral video from over the weekend shows Pierre, a sales assistant in the southern city of Nice, confronting the mob as they tried to storm his branch of Micromania, a French video game chain.
在这段视频中,身穿黑色T恤和运动裤的皮埃尔试图驱赶抢劫者,而其中一些人在周六的动乱中向他投掷石块。n当他转身返回店里时,一名暴徒卑鄙地从背后踢了他一脚,将他踢倒在地,引得起哄的人群一阵恶俗的欢呼。
In the clip, Pierre, wearing a black T-shirt and sweatpants, tries to shoo the looters as some pelt him with rocks amid Saturday’s unrest. As he turns back to his store, one of the rioters cowardly kicks him in the back, knocking him to the ground to the sick delight of the jeering crowd.
皮埃尔周日接受法国新闻媒体Ici采访时表示:“在某个时刻,我只是挡在前面阻止人们进去,仅此而已。”他补充说,最终抢劫者还是洗劫了这家店。
“At one point, I just stepped in front to stop people from getting in, that’s all,” Pierre told the French news outlet Ici on Sunday. He added that eventually, looters were able to rob the store.
他说:“我想我一开始就不该这么做。这很愚蠢。但在当时,我就是这么做的。”
“I think I shouldn’t have done it in the first place. It was stupid. But at the time, that’s what I did,” he said.
皮埃尔表示,自周六的事件发生以来,他已经收到了数十条支持信息,并向祝福者表示感谢。
Pierre said he has received dozens of messages of support since Saturday’s incident, and thanked his well-wishers.
他说:“非常感谢他们向我提供支持,向所有店主、向所有人提供支持。”
“It’s very kind of them to offer me support, to offer support to all the shopkeepers, to everyone,” he said.

皮埃尔说:“我们不能忘记,就态度而言,这仍然是少数。对于游行的其余部分,情况相当不错。有几颗害群之马,但他们不是大多数。”
“We mustn’t forget that this is still a minority in terms of attitude. For the rest of the procession, things went rather well. There are a few bad apples, but they’re not the majority,” Pierre said.
