Curfews were imposed in Paris, Lyon and other cities following the worst rioting and looting(抢劫,掠夺) in France in years. More than 2,000 people were arrested as masked casseurs(打砸者(法语)), or hooligans, targeted shops, businesses and political premises(场所,经营场地). The roof of the town hall in Limoges, which withstood two world wars, collapsed after it was set on fire.(利摩日市政厅的屋顶曾历经两次世界大战,却在遭纵火后坍塌。) The government admitted the police had lost control of the protests. The French president addressed the nation and said “nothing justifies” the violence. Marine Le Pen, the right-wing front-runner(领跑者,领先者) in next year’s presidential election, warned of a threat to democracy and blamed Mr Macron and the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the left-wing’s candidate, denied he was stirring up trouble(煽动事端,挑起麻烦) by urging support for the protests.
在法国发生多年来最严重的骚乱和抢劫之后,巴黎、里昂等城市实施了宵禁。超过2000人被捕,蒙面的“打砸者”(casseurs)或流氓分子将目标对准商店、企业和政治场所。利摩日市政厅的屋顶在遭到纵火后坍塌,该建筑曾历经两次世界大战。政府承认警方已失去对抗议活动的控制。法国总统向全国发表讲话,称“没有任何理由”可以为暴力开脱。明年总统选举的右翼领跑者玛丽娜·勒庞警告民主受到威胁,并将矛头指向马克龙和左翼。左翼候选人让-吕克·梅朗雄否认自己通过呼吁支持抗议来煽动事端。

Widespread looting accompanied similar protests in Italy. The government announced new security steps that allow the police to detain(拘留,扣押) under-18s for 12 hours, among other measures. To prevent further unrest(动荡,骚乱) hundreds of soldiers were deployed to Milan, which has borne the brunt of(承受最严重的冲击) the trouble and saw luxury-goods shops ransacked(洗劫,搜掠).
意大利也发生了类似抗议,并伴随大范围抢劫。政府宣布了新的安全措施,其中包括允许警方拘留18岁以下未成年人12小时。为防止进一步动荡,数百名士兵被部署到米兰,该市承受了最严重的冲击,奢侈品商店遭到洗劫。
In Albania student-led protests over corruption(腐败,贪污), poor education and a lack of jobs spread from Tirana to other cities and towns. Riot police used tear-gas(催泪瓦斯) and rubber bullets(橡皮子弹) against the demonstrators when they reached the Ministry of Education. Edi Rama said he would not resign(辞职) as prime minister, and warned that the protesters were endangering(危及,使遭受危险) Albania’s path to membership of the EU.
在阿尔巴尼亚,由学生主导的抗议活动从地拉那蔓延到其他城镇,抗议针对腐败、教育质量差和就业机会匮乏。当示威者抵达教育部时,防暴警察使用了催泪瓦斯和橡皮子弹。埃迪·拉马表示不会辞去总理职务,并警告抗议者正在危及阿尔巴尼亚加入欧盟的道路。
