[時事英文]亞伯瑞(Ahmaud Arbery)槍殺案
學生有時會問我,為何該探討諸如種族主義等社會議題。答案很簡單。這些議題指出了我們社會的潛在問題,唯有開誠布公的討論與行動,才能解決這些問題。如果我們想建立一個更加包容、公平且進步的社會,那麼我們必須盡可能地將這些棘手的問題攤在陽光底下,面對它們。
Students sometimes ask me why social issues such as racism should be discussed. The answer is straightforward. These lessons point out underlying problems within our society that only open discussion and action can address. If we want a more inclusive, equitable, and progressive society, then we must all to our part to bring these difficult issues to light and face them together.

《紐約時報》報導:
Ahmaud Arbery loved to run. A former high school football standout, he had been jogging near his home on the outskirts of Brunswick, Ga., when he was shot and killed after being pursued by two white men with guns, according to the authorities. The authorities said he was shot after an encounter with Gregory and Travis McMichael, who had grabbed two guns and followed Mr. Arbery in a truck after he jogged past them.

亞伯瑞喜歡跑步。有關當局表示,他曾是一名高中足球的佼佼者,一直在喬治亞州布倫瑞克郊區的住宅附近慢跑,當時他正被兩名持槍的白人追趕而遭槍殺。有關當局表示,亞伯瑞是在與格雷戈里以及崔維斯遭遇後而被槍殺,他們持有兩把槍,待慢跑的亞伯瑞行經後,遂駕駛一輛卡車尾隨他。

Gregory McMichael told the police that he thought Mr. Arbery looked like a man suspected in several break-ins in the area. The Brunswick News, citing documents obtained through a public records request, reported that there had been just one burglary in the neighborhood since January: the theft of a handgun from an unlocked truck parked outside Travis McMichael’s house.

7. break-in (n.) 非法入侵;(尤指)入室盜竊

格雷戈里向警方供稱,他認為亞伯瑞看上去像多次於該地犯下非法入侵的嫌疑人。《布倫瑞克新聞》藉由公開紀錄的請求引述了相關文件,自一月以來,鄰近地區僅發生過一起竊盜案:有一把手槍在一輛未上鎖的卡車中遭竊,該輛卡車則停在崔維斯家外。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
For two months, the shooting received little attention outside Brunswick. As the coronavirus pandemic dominated headlines and shut down communities around the country, The Times spoke with Mr. Arbery’s friends and family, who were by then concerned the case might quietly disappear in their Deep South community, because social distancing restrictions had made it difficult for them to gather and protest.
11. receive little attention 很少受到關注
12. dominate headlines 佔據了頭條
13. the Deep South 美國深南部
14. social distancing restrictions 社交距離限制令
這兩個月來,槍擊事件在布倫瑞克並未引起太多的關注。由於冠狀病毒的大流行佔據了新聞頭條,以及全國各地社區的關閉,《泰晤士報》與亞伯瑞的親友進行了交談,他們當時都很擔心此案恐於深南地區悄然消失,因為社交距離限制令使他們難以聚集與發起抗議。

On May 5, a graphic video of the fatal encounter had begun to circulate online. It galvanized an already growing chorus of voices calling for charges to be brought in the case. Recorded from inside a vehicle, it shows Mr. Arbery running along a shaded two-lane residential road when he comes upon a white pickup truck, with a man standing beside its open driver-side door. Another man is in the truck bed. Mr. Arbery runs around the vehicle and disappears briefly from view. Muffled shouting can be heard before Mr. Arbery emerges, tussling with the man outside the truck as three shotgun blasts echo.

5月5日,此一致命遭遇的血腥影片開始在網路上流傳。它激起了愈來愈多的呼聲,呼籲對此案提告。車內的錄像顯示,當亞伯瑞遇到一輛白色皮卡時,他正沿著一條為陰影遮蔽的兩車道馬路跑步,一名男子站在駕駛側敞開的車門旁。另一名男子則在車斗之中。亞伯瑞行經該車後,很快地於視野中消失。在亞伯瑞出現之前,可以聽到低沉的叫喊聲,伴隨三聲霰彈槍的槍響,並與卡車外的人打鬥。

Travis McMichael, 34, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 64, were charged on May 7 with murder and aggravated assault — two days after a graphic video of the shooting of Mr. Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, became public, and more than two months after the killing itself. The case has generated a wave of outrage and raised concerns about persistent racial inequities in the justice system.

請問一下病毒是可以選擇我要得到還是不要得到嗎?全世界所有的人都不希望被病毒所感染,大家現在應該是努力聯合起來一起看怎麼對抗,怎麼會變成這樣?
已經有太多悲傷的故事~
已經有太多無法挽回的破碎家庭~
那麼多另人心痛的時刻,為什麼會有這樣的認還想製造更多的紛亂?
我們住在加拿大,也算是一個移民大國,種族歧視在我們這裡其實不算什麼嚴重,而且這裡的人很在意人權,「種族歧視」這個字眼算是相當嚴重的程度,但是仍無法避免!
辛苦了在全世界各地的華人,這一波,我們可能真的要咬緊牙關撐下去!不管遇到什麼樣的眼光貨話語的攻擊,我們千萬不要當一回事!因為真的不是你有造成這樣的事件,也希望在國外的父母多關心孩子再學校的狀況,我相信這樣的事情一定不只有一個!也給孩子正確的觀念,讓他們知道該怎麼面對可能會遇到的困難和攻擊!
#我們一起努力做好防疫
#不要更多的種族歧視了
