威斯康星警察枪击案引发抗议

The shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, on Sunday afternoon in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has sparked protests, some of which have turned violent, and the governor has called in the National Guard.

8月23日周日下午，美国威斯康星州基诺沙市29岁黑人男子雅各布·布莱克遭遇警察枪击。此事引发了抗议活动，其中一些演化成暴力骚乱，州长已召集国民警卫队出动。

Blake, who worked as a security guard and was apparently unarmed, was shot in the back as he was about to get into an SUV that contained three of his children－aged 8, 5 and 3－who witnessed the shooting, according to a lawyer for the family.

据布莱克的律师所言，布莱克是一名保安，且看起来在遭遇枪击时身上并无武器装备；他是在准备进入一辆SUV时后背中枪的，当时车上还有他的三个孩子，年龄分别是8岁、5岁和3岁，他们都目睹了枪击的一幕。

Footage of the incident was caught on video taken by a neighbor across the street from Blake's home.

住在布莱克家对面的邻居用视频的方式记录下了事件的片段。

In the brief video, seven gunshot sounds can be heard as Blake opens the SUV's door, and a woman nearby jumps up and down in disbelief, according to a Reuters description of the clip.

根据路透社对该短片的描述，在这段简短的视频中，布莱克打开车门时传来了七声枪响，附近的一名女士难以置信地跳了起来。

Kenosha police have offered little information about the shooting, saying only that an officer had shot Blake while responding to a domestic incident.

基诺沙市警方对此次枪击事件三缄其口，仅透露一名警官之所以开枪，是为了处理一起家庭纷争。

The officers involved, who have not been identified, have been placed on administrative leave. The Wisconsin Department of Justice has said it will investigate the incident.

几位身份还未确认的涉案警官均已被停职处理。威斯康星州司法部表示会调查此案。

The shooting occurred three months after the death of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis police custody, which sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and racism in the United States.

本次枪击事件发生在黑人乔治·弗洛伊德去世后3个月后，他在明尼阿波里斯市的一次警察执法中丧生。他的死亡引发了全美范围内对警察暴力执法和种族歧视的抗议。

After being rushed to a hospital near Milwaukee, Blake was out of surgery and in stable condition.

在紧急送往密尔沃基附近的医院就诊后，布莱克接受了手术治疗，目前情况已经稳定。
