Last Saturday night, the town hall of Limoges in west-central France was set ablaze(被纵火焚烧). By Sunday, images of the fire destroying a symbol of the French republic, and other scenes of unrest across France, were everywhere, but being used to tell very different stories about what is happening in Europe.(到了周日，大火吞噬法兰西共和国象征的画面以及法国各地其他骚乱场景已无处不在，但人们却用它们讲述关于欧洲正在发生之事的截然不同的故事。)
上周六晚，法国中西部城市利摩日的市政厅被人纵火焚烧。到了周日，大火吞噬这座法兰西共和国象征的建筑的画面，以及法国各地其他骚乱场景，已无处不在，但人们却用它们来讲述关于欧洲正在发生之事的截然不同的故事。
For some, the flames announced a pan-European(泛欧的) youth revolt(反抗，起义), proof that a single movement was sweeping the continent(席卷整个大陆). Donald Trump, who had already insisted that the French schools protests were not about schools but about migration and Islam, urged Europeans to “close the borders”.(唐纳德·特朗普此前已坚称法国校园抗议与学校无关，而是关乎移民和伊斯兰教，他敦促欧洲人“关闭边境”。) The mayor of Limoges saw the fingerprints(指纹；痕迹) of an alleged ultra-left insurrection(暴动，叛乱).
在某些人看来，这些火焰宣告了一场泛欧青年反抗运动的到来，证明一场单一的运动正席卷整个大陆。唐纳德·特朗普此前已坚称法国校园抗议与学校无关，而是关乎移民和伊斯兰教，他敦促欧洲人“关闭边境”。利摩日市长则从中看到了所谓极左暴动的蛛丝马迹。
I lost count of(数不清) how many mainly rightwing media outlets(媒体机构，渠道) were contacting me suddenly. Most were based in India, China, Singapore and the US. They sought voices to validate the idea of a “teen revolt” spreading across Europe, driven by the same grievances and violence.(它们寻求一些声音来印证一种说法，即一场“青少年反抗”正席卷欧洲，且由同样的不满和暴力所驱动。)
我已经数不清有多少家以右翼为主的媒体突然联系我。它们大多位于印度、中国、新加坡和美国。它们寻求一些声音来印证一种说法，即一场“青少年反抗”正席卷欧洲，且由同样的不满和暴力所驱动。
