匹茲堡槍擊案兇手對移民暴怒不已太雨,并襲擊了猶太教堂的原因
On Saturday, a shooter opened fire inside a synagogue in the heart of a heavily Jewish neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The attack occurred during Shabbat services and during a bris, a celebration of a newborn life.
synagogue n. 猶太教堂绅作,猶太會堂
in the heart of 在一個地方的中心
周六,一名槍手在匹茲堡一個猶太人聚居區(qū)中心的猶太教堂內開火菇怀。這次槍擊發(fā)生在安息日禮拜,當時正值一場慶祝新生命誕生的割禮儀式晌块。
Immediately before the massacre, the alleged killer tweeted about HIAS, an organization once known as the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society that dates back to the late 19th century.
massacre n.大屠殺爱沟;殘殺
alleged adj.涉嫌犯罪的,被指控的
once known as 曾今被稱為
Sheltering n.庇護所
就在屠殺發(fā)生不久前匆背,嫌犯發(fā)表了關于猶太移民援助協會(HIAS)的推特呼伸,這個組織曾經被稱為希伯來庇護和移民援助協會,其歷史可以追溯到 19 世紀晚期钝尸。
"HIAS likes to bring invaders that kill our people," he wrote. It doesn't take a deep understanding of American anti-Semitism to know that to him, "our people" did not include Jewish Americans, even though Jews have lived in America since before the founding of the United States and the congregation he attacked has been convening to pray since the Civil War.
anti-Semitism n. 反猶太主義括享,排猶主義
congregation n.教堂會眾
convene v. 集合;召集珍促;開會
他寫道:“HIAS 喜歡幫助那些殺害我們同胞的入侵者入境铃辖。” 對美國反猶太主義略知一二的人就會知道猪叙,對他來說娇斩,“我們同胞” 并不包括猶太裔美國人,盡管猶太人在美國建國以前就一直生活在這片土地上穴翩,而他所襲擊的宗教團體從美國內戰(zhàn)以來就一直在集會禱告犬第。
Why, then, did this white-nationalist xenophobe gun down local Jews to protest HIAS? The massacre reflects a stark reality with deep roots in American history: Anti-Semitism, nativism and anti-immigrant sentiments have long been inextricably intertwined.
xenophobe n. 排外者;恐外者
gun down 開槍射殺
deep root 深深扎根
stark adj. 殘酷的芒帕;不愉快的
nativism n.本土主義者
sentiment n.情緒歉嗓;觀點;意見背蟆;看法鉴分;
inextricably adv. 不可分開地哮幢;密不可分地;緊密地
intertwine v. 纏繞冠场;交織
那么家浇,為什么這個白人民族主義仇外者會開槍射殺當地的猶太人,以此來抗議 HIAS 呢碴裙?這場屠殺反映了一個深深扎根于美國歷史的殘酷現實:反猶太主義钢悲,本土主義和反移民情緒長期以來緊密交織在一起。
The anti-Semitism that drove the immigration policy of the early 20th century never faded from American life. Nor did its connection to anti-immigrant sentiment. And that sentiment is what compelled a shooter ranting about HIAS to massacre Jews who were part of a congregation that dates to the 1800s and is located in a city where HIAS has no offices or presence.
immigration policy 移民政策
fade v.逐漸消失
compell sb to do sth. 迫使某人做某事
rant v. 怒吼舔株;抱怨莺琳;叫嚷;大聲責罵
presence n.駐地代表
20 世紀初美國移民政策的幕后黑手载慈,反猶太主義惭等,從未從美國人的生活中消失。而反猶太主義和反移民情緒之間的聯系也留存至今办铡。正是這種反移民情緒驅使了這位痛罵 HIAS 的槍手去屠殺猶太人辞做,即便這些受害者屬于一個 19 世紀初就建立了的宗教團體,所在的城市也并沒有 HIAS 辦事處或者成員寡具。
