当地时间20日凌晨,美国科罗拉多州奥罗拉市一个影院在举办某电影首映期间发生枪击事件,导致12人死亡,数十人受伤。该事件再次引发人们对美国枪支管控立法的讨论。
The shooting on Friday at a movie theater in Aurora, a suburb of Denver, Colorado, that left 12 dead and 58 injured, sent the United States into mourning over the weekend and reignited calls for tougher gun control.
上周五发生在科罗拉多州丹佛市郊奥罗拉一家影院的枪击事件导致12人死亡,58人受伤。美国各地在周末对枪击事件受害者进行悼念,该事件同时也引发了严格枪支管控的呼声。
上文中的gun control就是“枪支管控”,很多人都认为实行严格的枪支管控就可以减少gun violence(枪支暴力)事件的发生。美国的gun culture(枪文化)一直备受瞩目,它宣扬每个人的gun rights(持枪权),着重强调gun advocates(持枪拥护者)将枪支用作self defense(自卫)、hunting(狩猎)以及target shooting(打靶)工具的合法权利。
常见的枪支种类有:pistol(手枪)、rifle(步枪)、revolver(左轮手枪)、air rifle(气步枪)、shotgun(霰弹枪)以及machine gun(机枪)。
