More than 1,800 people were arrested in France on Saturday after protesters supporting high school students clashed with police, with some demonstrations later spiralling(失控地急剧升级) out of control as buildings were set ablaze(被纵火点燃) and shops looted(遭洗劫、被抢劫).

Police fired teargas(催泪瓦斯) in confrontations with protesters, as demonstrations across France were boosted by other groups angry about high prices and the fraying((体系)崩坏、磨损) of a social welfare system. While hundreds of thousands protested peacefully in street marches in scores of cities, violent fringe groups targeted public buildings, luxury boutiques and supermarkets and attacked police vehicles and officers.(尽管数十万人在数十座城市和平游行,暴力边缘团体却袭击公共建筑、奢侈品店和超市,并攻击警车和警察。)
