Bus Hijacking in China Leaves 8 Dead
SHANGHAI — Eight people were killed and more than 20 injured on Tuesday when a man with a knife hijacked a bus and drove it into traffic in a southeastern Chinese city, according to state media reports.
上海——据官方媒体报道，周二，在中国东南部一座城市，一男子持刀劫持公交车，然后冲撞街道行人，导致数人死亡，20多人受伤。
The attack happened around 3 p.m. in the city of Longyan in Fujian Province. The Beijing News, a government-run paper, quoted a witness who said the bus had run into three motor scooters, a taxi and a car.
袭击大约发生在下午3点，地点是福建省龙岩市。官方媒体《新京报》引述一名证人的话称，该公交车撞向三辆摩托车、一辆出租车和一辆轿车。
On Chinese social media, several graphic videos of the aftermath showed bodies splayed across the street amid auto wreckage, some of which was pinned beneath the bus.
在中国的社交媒体上，事发后的几条现场视频显示，尸体摊在街头，周围是被撞毁的汽车，有些尸体被压在公交车下面。
One video showed a man being wrestled to the ground by several police officers, and the state news media said a suspect had been taken into custody. CCTV, China’s state broadcaster, said the suspect was an unemployed man who is believed to have lashed out over a dispute with local government officials.
一条视频显示，一名男子被几名警察按倒在地，官方媒体称一名嫌犯已被拘押。中国官方电视台中央电视台称，该嫌犯系一无业游民，据信与当地政府官员因矛盾发生争执。
The state-run People’s Daily said the man had used a knife to take control of the bus before driving it into vehicles and pedestrians. The bus has a central route through the city of more than two million people, passing government buildings and a major commercial area.
官方的《人民日报》称，该男子持刀控制了公交车，随后开车撞向其他车辆和行人。公交车沿中央路线穿过这座人口逾200万的城市，途径政府大楼和一片主要商业区。
Some social media users expressed shock that such a thing had happened in Longyan, a quiet, relatively small city.
对于宁静的、相对较小的龙岩发生这样的事情，一些社交媒体用户表示震惊。
Knife attacks are not unusual in China, where guns are tightly regulated. In June, two children were killed in a knife attack in Shanghai, and in October, more than a dozen kindergartners were wounded by a knife-wielding woman in the southwestern city of Chongqing.
在枪支受到严格管制的中国，持刀攻击并不罕见。6月份，上海的一次持刀攻击造成两名儿童丧生；10月，在西南城市重庆，一名妇女持刀行凶导致十几名幼儿园学生受伤。
