🔥 Americans Are More Troubled by Police Actions in Killing of George Floyd Than by Violence at Protests, Poll Finds
民調結果顯示,比起抗議活動中的暴力,美國人對警察殺害喬治.弗洛伊德事件更感不安
🧐 Voters by a 2-to-1 margin are more troubled by the actions of police in the killing of George Floyd than by violence at some protests, and an overwhelming majority, 80%, feel that the country is spiraling out of control, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
《華爾街日報》和NBC News的一項新調查顯示,比對抗議中的暴力行為,美國人對警察導致喬治.佛洛伊德死亡的行為更感不安,人數高達一倍,且絕大多數(80%)的受訪者都認為美國正在失控。
- by a 2-to-1 margin 二比一/另一者兩倍的意思
- be troubled by 深受…折磨
- overwhelming 難以抵擋的;無法抗拒的

😨 The poll also reveals striking partisan divides in how voters view a pair of unfolding national crises, including the unrest sparked by the killing of Mr. Floyd, the black Minneapolis man who was in police custody, and the coronavirus pandemic, responsible for more than 109,000 fatalities in the U.S.
調查還顯示,美國人對於當前的兩件全國性危機有著明顯的黨派分歧,即黑人男子佛洛伊德因警察逮捕致死所引發的後續騷亂,以及導致美國逾10.9萬人死亡的新冠疫情大流行。
- partisan (常指盲目)支持的,擁護的;偏袒的
- unrest 不安,動盪
- fatality 死亡人數
