过去一个月里，美国发生了45起枪击案丨小象漫评

01

在过去的一个月里

美国发生45起枪击

In the past month alone, 

there were 45 shootings in the US.

02

为悼念死难者

拜登上台三个月里

白宫已经三次降半旗

In the three months since Joe Biden took office,

the White House flag has been

flown at half-mast three times.

03

美国究竟哪出了问题

被死死困在枪支暴力的死循环里？

How could this be?

What trapped US in gun violence?

04

美国人对“自由”的理解很狭隘

一有人提控枪就警觉起来

In the US, freedom is with so little limit,

that gun control is always opposed.

05

围绕着宪法第二修正案吵过去吵回来

There have been quarrels over

the Second Amendment to the Constitution,

06

至今没有做出根本修改

but no substantial progress

has been made in gun control.

07

美国对外“武德充沛”

用武力解决问题早已成固定思维

Likewise, the US always tries to

solve global problems using force,

08

当这种思维定式转向对内

受害的当然是美国社会！

a pattern, when turned domestic,

makes things worse.

09

都到了如此严重的情况

美国社会撕裂又雪上加霜

And there are also the social divides,

10

不同群体间隔阂极深

还有人一言不合举枪相向

with people of different races

hating each other.

11

怎么能不导致人心惶惶？

Violence getting out of control

is almost a sure result.

12

美国要遏止枪支泛滥

需要从根本上做出改变

Only a thorough change can

end gun violence in the US,

13

摆脱支持拥枪的利益集团

with new laws introduced and the influence of interest groups curtailed.

14

控制住枪支

Hey Uncle Sam, please control your guns,

15

而不是让自己继续被枪支羁绊

do not let them control you!
