泰国政府宣布进入紧急状态

        Thailand's government declared a state of emergency last night after protesters demanding the resignation of Abhisit Vejjajiva, the prime minister, invaded the country's parliament compound and forced his deputy to flee by helicopter.

　　泰国政府昨晚宣布进入紧急状态，此前要求总理阿披实·维乍集瓦(Abhisit Vejjajiva)下台的抗议者冲进了议会大院，迫使其副手乘坐直升飞机逃离。

　　The state of emergency covers Bangkok and surrounding provinces. It outlaws gatherings of more than five people and grants the police and army enhanced powers to restrict travel and hold suspects without charge.

　　紧急状态法涵盖曼谷及周边省份。该法规定，5人以上的集会属于非法活动，同时赋予警察和军队更大的权力，以限制旅行，并在不起诉的情况下扣押嫌疑人。

　　The move makes it easier for the government to use force to end the month-long protests.

　　此举使泰国政府更容易利用武力结束长达一月之久的抗议活动。

　　Despite the declaration, hundreds of red-shirted demonstrators were streaming into the main protest encampment last night, at a key intersection in the heart of Bangkok's retail and hotel zone.

　　尽管泰国政府宣布进入紧急状态，但数百名“红衫军”昨晚仍汇集到位于曼谷零售和酒店区域中心一个关键十字路口的主要抗议营地。

　　“No one is afraid, no one is going home,” said Sean Boonpracong, a spokesman for the protesters. “We will resist their actions. We have called people in from the provinces.”

　　抗议者发言人西恩·帕松(Sean Boonpracong)表示：“没有人害怕，没有人回家。我们将抵制他们的禁令。我们已呼吁其他省份的人们加入进来。”
