大家早上好，还记得去年美国黑人弗洛伊德被白人警察跪杀的事情吗？（点这里回顾）它曾因太过令人震惊掀起了一场反歧视的革命，引来全世界的关注。 时隔一年，这个案子终于迎来了最终结局……  前几天，震惊世界的弗洛伊德案终于宣判：德里克·肖万被控谋杀和过失杀人，全部罪名皆裁决有罪。
There was sufficient evidence to convict him. 有足够的证据证明他有罪。 Chauvin was found guilty on three charges: second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. 肖万被指控的二级谋杀、三级谋杀和二级过失杀人三项罪名全部成立。 这一消息令守在法庭外的民众一片欢呼，激动得热泪盈眶，高喊着“Black lives matter”。 有抗议者感慨：“我们经历了这么多才让一个警察定罪，还有多少非洲裔生命死于警察之手？”
The news was greeted with considerable popular acclamation. 这条新闻迎来了非常广泛的欢呼喝彩。 Their eyes filled with tears because they are so excited to hear the news. 他们听到这个消息之后激动得热泪盈眶。 Thousands of protesters marched through the city. 数千抗议者游行走过全城。 “警察暴力地图”（Mapping Police Violence）项目的数据显示，过去5年里美国警察平均每天致死3人，却很少引发指控。 Statistics indicate that American police kill three people every day averagely in the past five years, but few of them are being charged.
讽刺的是，就在判决宣布前不到半小时，又发生了一起警察枪击非裔的事件：俄亥俄州首府哥伦布市一名16岁的黑人女孩被警察射杀。 A black teenage girl was shot dead by police just as a guilty verdict was returned in the case of the officer who killed George Floyd. 所以说，这场宣判虽然意义重大，但显然还远远不足以消除美国“种族歧视”这个根深蒂固的污点。
It is significant that an American policeman was charged and convicted of murder. 美国警察因谋杀被起诉且判决是一件意义重大的事情。 You have to acknowledge that we live in a racist society. 你不得不承认我们生活在一个有种族歧视的社会。 Discrimination is deep-rooted in American people’s mind. 歧视在美国人心中根深蒂固。 The events had stained the country's reputation. 这些事件使该国染上了污点。 ❤小C寄语❤ 肖万的判决只是一场战斗的胜利，而争取平等的征程在美国还有很长很远的路要走。 /// 若是看不起其他民族和文化 必然会被教做人~ 来看看如何用中国功夫一招制敌 点击视频，关注视频号【英语共读】 ☟ ☟ ☟ ☟ ☟  |
