上周五,法国南部奥德省特雷布镇发生枪击与劫持人质事件,造成4人死亡,近20人受伤。为解救人质,法国宪兵中校阿尔诺•贝尔特拉姆以身换取其他人质安全。法国总统马克龙表示,将为殉职的贝尔特拉姆举行国葬。请看本报昨日的报道: France will pay a national tribute to a security officer who died from gunshot wounds after voluntarily taking the place of a female hostage during a supermarket siege by an Islamist militant, President Emmanuel Macron said Saturday. Arnaud Beltrame, 44, a gendarme who once served in Iraq, was raced to hospital fighting for his life after being shot by the gunman during the siege at the Super U store in the southwestern town of Trebes near the Pyrenees mountains. 报道中的gendarme就是“法国警察、宪兵”,源自古法语gens d’armes, 意思相当于armed people (武装的人),法国的gendarme类似中国的武警,通常负责维护国内治安。 |
