Images of an octogenarian(八旬老人) being evicted(被驱逐) from the home she had lived in for seven decades on a stretcher(担架), flanked(两侧有……) by protesters and police officers, have sparked indignation(愤怒、义愤) across Spain.
一位八旬老人躺在担架上，被从她居住了七十年的家中驱逐出来，身旁是抗议者和警察——这些画面在西班牙全国激起了愤怒。
At the weekend, days after the first protests began, Madrid’s central Sol plaza(广场) was still full of anger at the treatment of Maricarmen Abascal. Tens of thousands of people marched through Spain’s capital on Saturday, rattling keys(摇晃钥匙) as they called for measures to curb(遏制) rising housing costs and make evictions more difficult. Some brought tents and sleeping bags, announcing plans to set up a protest camp(搭建抗议营地). Come Sunday(到了周日), many were still there: their demand, a nationwide reckoning(清算、反思) over access to housing.
周末，在最初抗议开始数日后，马德里市中心的太阳门广场依然充斥着对玛丽卡门·阿瓦斯卡尔遭遇的愤怒。周六，数万人穿过西班牙首都游行，一边摇晃钥匙，一边呼吁采取措施遏制不断上涨的住房成本、增加驱逐的难度。一些人带来了帐篷和睡袋，宣布计划搭建抗议营地。到了周日，许多人仍留在那里：他们的诉求是，全国上下对住房获取问题进行彻底反思。
The catalyst(催化剂、导火索) was the eviction of Abascal, now known across the country by her first name(全国都直呼其名). The 87-year-old woman with a disability said she had been forced to leave her home after she was unable to afford the 230% rent hike demanded by the investment fund that bought her apartment.(这位87岁的残疾女性说，买下她公寓的投资基金要求将租金提高230%，她无力承担，只好被迫离开自己的家。)
导火索是阿瓦斯卡尔被驱逐一事。如今，全西班牙都直呼她的名字。这位87岁的残疾女性说，买下她公寓的投资基金要求将租金提高230%，她无力承担，只好被迫离开自己的家。
