“騷亂”英語怎麼說
摘要：倫敦當地時間8月6日晚發生的騷亂已蔓延至伯明翰、利物浦、諾丁漢和曼徹斯特等多個城市。由於首都倫敦加強了警力，主要大街遍佈全副武裝的防暴警察，目前事態已經趨緩。你知道怎麼用英語表達嗎?
British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess Tuesday and nearly tripled the number of police on the streets after three days of rioting in London blossomed into a full-blown political crisis.
Cameron described the scenes of burning buildings and smashed windows in London and several other British cities as "sickening", but refrained from more extreme measures such as calling in the military to help beleaguered police restore order.
A wave of violence and looting has raged across London since Saturday, as authorities struggled to contain the country's worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.
週二，英國首相卡梅倫結束暑期休假，重新召集議會。倫敦騷亂髮生三天後發展成全面的政治危機，街頭的警察數量也增加爲原來的三倍。卡梅倫稱，倫敦等城市街頭被燒燬的建築物、街上的碎玻璃等景象令他噁心，但是沒有要求採取更極端的措施，如召集軍隊協助被圍攻的警察恢復秩序。從6日開始，倫敦發生了一系列暴力和劫掠事件，這是自上世紀80年代倫敦種族騷亂以來英國曆史上最嚴重的動亂，英國當局在努力抑制騷亂。
【講解】文中的riot即指騷亂，原本在倫敦北部城鎮托特納姆(Tottenham)舉行的示威活動(demonstration)突然演變爲暴力(violence)事件，並逐漸蔓延至多個城市。Riot police指防暴警察，riot gear指防暴服，Rioter則表示騷亂分子、暴亂者的意思。文中的unrest也有動亂，騷亂的意思，looting是指搶劫、劫掠。
