Around 7:30 p.m., a driver plowed his car into several people in the square in Hengyang City, Hunan Province, the local government said in a posting on Weibo, China’s popular social media platform.

The government statement called the attack a “malicious case of intentional driving” and said a man had been taken into custody. An investigation has begun, the statement said, but there was no mention of terrorism as a possible motive.

政府聲明稱(chēng)這次襲擊是“故意駕車(chē)傷人惡性案件”，并表示一名男子已被拘留。聲明說(shuō)，調(diào)查已經(jīng)開(kāi)始，但沒(méi)有提到恐怖主義是可能的動(dòng)機(jī)。

The injured were taken to hospitals; at least three were in serious condition. 傷者被送往醫(yī)院，至少3人情況嚴(yán)重。

Videos of the incident were posted to social media and widely shared, depicting scenes of carnage and chaos in the square, which was crowded for an event. Several clips from national news networks showed the wounded and dead lying in the square, blood near their crumpled bodies. People ran to their aid, screaming and crying as they frantically sought to help.

People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, said the suspect was a 54-year-old local man, but it did not provide his full name.

Attacks that cause mass casualties in public places are not unheard-of in China. A number of vehicular assaults, mass stabbings and bombings have been reported in recent years, sometimes carried out by those with grievances against the government.

在公共場(chǎng)所造成大規(guī)模傷亡的襲擊在中國(guó)并非聞所未聞。近年來(lái)，有車(chē)輛襲擊、大規(guī)模持刀殺人和爆炸事件見(jiàn)諸報(bào)道，有些是對(duì)政府不滿(mǎn)的人所為。

A 2014 attack on a market in far western China was carried out by Islamist extremists who drove vehicles into a square and tossed explosives into a crowd left at least 31 people dead, and another stabbing attack that year in the same city claimed 29 lives.

2014年，伊斯蘭極端主義分子在中國(guó)偏遠(yuǎn)西部一個(gè)市場(chǎng)上發(fā)起襲擊，他們開(kāi)車(chē)進(jìn)入一個(gè)廣場(chǎng)，向人群投擲爆炸物，造成至少31人死亡，同年在同一城市發(fā)生的一起持刀襲擊造成29人死亡。
