新加坡旅客权衡行程，因法国抗议活动升级为暴力冲突一场期盼已久的巴黎生日之旅，是29岁的Rachel不愿放弃的，尽管法国的暴力抗议活动让她担忧母女俩的安全。
A long-awaited birthday trip to Paris with her mother is something Rachel, 29, is reluctant to give up, even as violent protests in France have left her worried about their safety.
她们定于10月28日至11月4日出行，就在另一轮计划于未来周末举行的示威活动结束后几天。
The pair are due to travel from Oct 28 to Nov 4, just days after another round of demonstrations planned for the coming weekend.
“我努力保持乐观，因为我筹划这趟旅行很久了。这是陪妈妈的生日之旅，所以我真的不想取消，”只愿透露名字的Rachel说。
"I'm trying to still be a bit positive about this because I planned this for so long. It's supposed to be a birthday trip with my mum, so I don't really want to cancel," said Rachel, who only wanted to be known by her first name.
Rachel是众多在法国动荡局势下权衡行程的新加坡旅客之一。上周末，因生活成本上涨和公共服务下降引发的抗议活动演变为暴力冲突。
Rachel is among Singaporean travellers weighing their plans amid unrest in France, where protests over the rising cost of living and declining public services descended into violence last weekend.
旅行社Dynasty Travel表示，因安全顾虑已接到修改行程的请求，但目前尚无直接取消订单的情况。
Travel agency Dynasty Travel said it has received requests to amend itineraries because of safety concerns, although there have been no outright cancellations so far.
与此同时，上周末身处巴黎的新加坡人描述称，他们目睹了抢劫、遭遇了催泪瓦斯，且因公共交通关闭导致行程受阻。
Meanwhile, Singaporeans who were in Paris during the weekend unrest described witnessing looting, encountering tear gas and having their plans disrupted by public transport closures.
随着进一步抗议活动定于周六（10月24日）举行，法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努呼吁“大规模”警力部署，并可能实施针对性的夜间宵禁。
With further protests planned for Saturday (Oct 24), French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has called for a "massive" police presence while targeted nighttime curfews may also be imposed.
旅客维持计划但做好应对干扰准备 对于拒绝透露姓氏的Rachel而言，取消行程仍是最后手段。当被问及是否担心人身安全时，她说她担心可能会遇到暴徒。
TRAVELLERS KEEP PLANS BUT PREPARE FOR DISRUPTIONS For Rachel, who declined to give her surname, cancelling the trip remains a last resort. Asked whether she feared for her physical safety, she said that she felt wary of potentially encountering rioters.
“我很担心，但我只能采取预防措施。这真是我能做的一切了。”因在巴黎市中心预订了住宿，Rachel特别担心公共交通中断会影响行程。
"I'm quite concerned, but I'll just take precautions. That's all I can do, really." With accommodation booked in central Paris, Rachel is particularly worried about public transport disruptions that could affect her itinerary.
虽然她打算乘坐的地铁线路在上周末抗议期间未关闭，但她担心后续示威可能导致停运。
Although the metro services she intends to use were not closed during last weekend's protests, she fears that further demonstrations could lead to closures.
她表示，如果有必要，她准备改乘出租车。“只要能保障我们的安全，我们愿意多付钱，”她说。
She is prepared to take taxis instead if necessary. "We are willing to pay more if it ensures our safety," she said.
回应《海峡时报》（CNA）询问时，Dynasty Travel表示，因担心抗议活动，前往法国的行程中不足10个团进行了更改。
Responding to CNA's queries, Dynasty Travel said fewer than 10 trips to France had been amended because of concerns over the protests.
该旅行社表示，收到“一些要求更改行程的请求，而非直接取消”。
The agency said it had received "some requests for changes in itineraries, not outright cancellations".
该社补充说，其他客户已表明，如果临近出发日期时局势没有好转，他们可能会寻求变更。
Other customers have indicated that they may seek changes if the situation does not improve closer to their departure dates, it added.
Dynasty Travel表示，如果实施宵禁，该社也准备重新安排晚间活动、更改交通安排，或将游客转移至未受影响地区。
Dynasty Travel said it was also prepared to reschedule evening activities, change transport arrangements or move travellers away from affected areas if curfews were imposed.
Chan Brothers Travel表示，未收到任何与近期抗议活动相关的取消订单，其即将在11月和12月出发的旅行团按计划进行。
Chan Brothers Travel said it had not received any cancellations related to the recent protests, with its upcoming tour groups departing in November and December proceeding as planned.
该旅行社表示，正密切关注事态发展，若情况有变将调整行程或作替代安排。“游客安全仍是我们的首要任务，”该社说。
The agency said it was closely monitoring developments and would make itinerary changes or alternative arrangements if conditions changed. “Traveller safety remains our priority,” it said.

另一名因工作身在巴黎、拒绝透露姓名的新加坡人描述了在共和国广场附近遭遇催泪瓦斯的经历。这名33岁女子当时正与一住在抗议区域附近的朋友会面。在广场上，她看到了警方设置的路障，但表示人们仍被允许进出。气氛最初看起来是和平的。情况在她听到尖叫声、看到人们突然向她这边奔跑时发生了变化。
Another Singaporean, who was in Paris for work and declined to be named, described being caught in tear gas near Place de la Republique. The 33-year-old was meeting up with a friend who lived near the protest areas. At the square, she saw police barricades but said people were still allowed to enter and leave. The atmosphere initially appeared peaceful. That changed when she heard screams and saw people suddenly running towards her.
“紧接着我看到催泪瓦斯被扔向我们这边……我第一次闻到催泪瓦斯时，喉咙和胸口感到窒息，随后慢慢影响到眼睛，”她告诉CNA。
“The next thing I saw was the tear gas was thrown towards our direction … The tear gas, when I first smelled it, it was choking on the throat and on the chest, and then slowly it affects the eyes,” she told CNA.
她说，她和朋友试图逃离，却被警方推回，并被从广场的一边引导到另一边，最终才获准离开。她回忆说，在遭遇过程中，陌生人给了她们眼药水。
She said she and her friend tried to escape but were pushed back by police and directed from one side of the square to another before eventually being allowed out. During the ordeal, strangers offered them eye drops, she recalled.

“I do feel like this time was a little bit different … I think people were much more affected this time round than past protests that I’ve seen,” he said.
虽然他的社区未遭受最严重的动荡波及，但地铁停运迫使他取消计划，周末只能待在家里。
Although his neighbourhood was spared from the worst of the unrest, metro closures forced him to cancel plans and stay home over the weekend.
何先生认为，破坏与混乱掩盖了和平抗议者所争取的诉求。“这不是人们所预期的样子，”他补充道。
Mr Ho felt that the destruction and chaos had overshadowed the causes that peaceful protesters were fighting for. “It wasn't what people expected it to be,” he added.

"You know how the Parisian cafes and bistros have outdoor seating … the people didn't move at all," she said.
“成群结队、一拨拨的蒙面男子就在那里，但顾客只是坐着看……他们继续吃晚餐，完全不受干扰。”这位33岁的新加坡人在共和国广场附近遭遇催泪瓦斯后，描述了离开广场时同样超现实的场景。她遇到一家仍在营业的咖啡馆，位于一排遭破坏和洗劫的商铺旁。
“And you have groups, pockets of these masked guys, but the patrons are just sitting there looking ... they just carry on with their dinner, completely undisturbed.”The 33-year-old Singaporean who encountered tear gas near Place de la Republique described a similarly surreal scene after leaving the square. She came across a cafe still operating along a row of damaged and looted shops.
“相当超现实……人们只是照常过日子。有人在锻炼，有人在遛狗，就像平常的一天一样，”她说。
“It’s quite surreal … People are just going about their day. There were people exercising, and then people were walking their dogs, and it’s like just another day,” she said.
