Protest groups in Washington showed their disapproval of America’s new president, Donald Trump, on Friday - Inauguration Day.

周五特朗普就职那天,抗议组织在首都华盛顿表达他们对新任总统特朗普的不满。

Police used pepper spray and sound bombs in a clash with protesters not far from the inaugural parade path of President Trump.

警察和抗议组织在离特朗普就职游行不远的那条街上,用辣椒水和声音弹与示威者发生冲突。

Police said they arrested more than 90 people for rioting.

警察声称他们逮捕了90多位暴乱者。

Several demonstrations took place peacefully at security checkpoints near the U.S. Capitol building. Police helped ticketed visitors enter the ceremony, which was held along the National Mall. Protesters there held signs with various messages, including, “Resist Trump - Climate Justice Now,” “Let Freedom Ring,” and “Free Palestine.”

美国国会大厦附近的安检口也发生了几起非暴力游行示威。就职仪式在国家中心举行,警察帮忙对游客进行检票。国家中心市场人们举着牌子,上面写着各种各样的标语,有,“反对特朗普——气候法”“让自由飞”“解放巴勒斯坦”

But about two kilometers from the National Mall, protesters began breaking the windows of businesses, including a Starbucks, a Bank of America and a McDonald’s. Police used pepper spray to try to stop the violence.

距离国家中心约两公里的地方,反对者打破星巴克、美国银行和麦当劳等店铺玻璃。警察向反对者喷洒辣椒水制止暴乱。

Some of the more than 1,000 protesters wore gas masks and linked arms. When protesters crossed police lines, officers resisted with batons, pepper spray, and sound bombs.

一千多的示威者带着汽油面具,全副武装。一旦反对者越过警察防锁线,官员们就用电棒、辣椒水和声气弹防卫。

Some protesters threw heavy objects, including bricks, toward police. Others rolled large metal waste containers toward them.

有些示威者向警察投掷重物,如砖头等。有的向警察扔揉成团的金属瓶。

Police said that the protesters damaged vehicles, destroyed property and set small fires.

警察表示,示威者破坏交通工具、损坏公共财产和小型纵火。

Before Inauguration Day, a group called DisruptJ20 coalition had promised that it would interfere with the celebrations, risking arrest if necessary.

就职的前一天,一个叫做破坏J20的组织曾表示将会干涉就职典礼,即使冒着被捕的危险

Eleanor Goldfield helped organize the DisruptJ20 protest. She said protesters wanted to show Trump and his, in her words, "misguided, misinformed or just plain dangerous" supporters that they will not be silent.

破坏I20组织负责人为Eleanor Goldfield。用她自己的话说,示威者将会告诉特朗普本人,以及他的“被误导、被迷惑、危险存在的”支持者,他们不会保持沉默

Eleanor Goldfield

Trump supporter Brett Ecker told the Associated Press that the protesters were frustrating, but they were not ruining the day for him.

特朗普支持者Brett Ecker 对新闻联合社称,示威者感到很失望,但是他们不会让特朗普安静地过一天。

"They're just here to stir up trouble," Ecker said. "It upsets me a little bit that people choose to do this, but yet again, it's one of the things I love about this country."

“他们只是想简单的制造暴乱,”诶克说道,“这让我感到很失望,但是人们选择这样做,但我再次声明,这就是我爱这个国家的一点。”
