Protest groups in Washington showed their disapproval of America’s new president, Donald Trump, on Friday - Inauguration Day.

周五特朗普就職那天,抗議組織在首都華盛頓表達(dá)他們對(duì)新任總統(tǒng)特朗普的不滿。

Police used pepper spray and sound bombs in a clash with protesters not far from the inaugural parade path of President Trump.

警察和抗議組織在離特朗普就職游行不遠(yuǎn)的那條街上,用辣椒水和聲音彈與示威者發(fā)生沖突。

Police said they arrested more than 90 people for rioting.

警察聲稱他們逮捕了90多位暴亂者。

Several demonstrations took place peacefully at security checkpoints near the U.S. Capitol building. Police helped ticketed visitors enter the ceremony, which was held along the National Mall. Protesters there held signs with various messages, including, “Resist Trump - Climate Justice Now,” “Let Freedom Ring,” and “Free Palestine.”

美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)大廈附近的安檢口也發(fā)生了幾起非暴力游行示威。就職儀式在國(guó)家中心舉行,警察幫忙對(duì)游客進(jìn)行檢票。國(guó)家中心市場(chǎng)人們舉著牌子,上面寫著各種各樣的標(biāo)語,有,“反對(duì)特朗普——氣候法”“讓自由飛”“解放巴勒斯坦”

But about two kilometers from the National Mall, protesters began breaking the windows of businesses, including a Starbucks, a Bank of America and a McDonald’s. Police used pepper spray to try to stop the violence.

距離國(guó)家中心約兩公里的地方,反對(duì)者打破星巴克、美國(guó)銀行和麥當(dāng)勞等店鋪玻璃。警察向反對(duì)者噴灑辣椒水制止暴亂。

Some of the more than 1,000 protesters wore gas masks and linked arms. When protesters crossed police lines, officers resisted with batons, pepper spray, and sound bombs.

一千多的示威者帶著汽油面具,全副武裝。一旦反對(duì)者越過警察防鎖線,官員們就用電棒、辣椒水和聲氣彈防衛(wèi)。

Some protesters threw heavy objects, including bricks, toward police. Others rolled large metal waste containers toward them.

有些示威者向警察投擲重物,如磚頭等。有的向警察扔揉成團(tuán)的金屬瓶。

Police said that the protesters damaged vehicles, destroyed property and set small fires.

警察表示,示威者破壞交通工具、損壞公共財(cái)產(chǎn)和小型縱火。

Before Inauguration Day, a group called DisruptJ20 coalition had promised that it would interfere with the celebrations, risking arrest if necessary.

就職的前一天,一個(gè)叫做破壞J20的組織曾表示將會(huì)干涉就職典禮,即使冒著被捕的危險(xiǎn)

Eleanor Goldfield helped organize the DisruptJ20 protest. She said protesters wanted to show Trump and his, in her words, "misguided, misinformed or just plain dangerous" supporters that they will not be silent.

破壞I20組織負(fù)責(zé)人為Eleanor Goldfield。用她自己的話說,示威者將會(huì)告訴特朗普本人,以及他的“被誤導(dǎo)、被迷惑、危險(xiǎn)存在的”支持者,他們不會(huì)保持沉默

Trump supporter Brett Ecker told the Associated Press that the protesters were frustrating, but they were not ruining the day for him.

特朗普支持者Brett Ecker 對(duì)新聞聯(lián)合社稱,示威者感到很失望,但是他們不會(huì)讓特朗普安靜地過一天。

“他們只是想簡(jiǎn)單的制造暴亂,”誒克說道,“這讓我感到很失望,但是人們選擇這樣做,但我再次聲明,這就是我愛這個(gè)國(guó)家的一點(diǎn)。”
