Thick, dark smoke rose above the center of the Ukrainian capital amid the boom of police stun
grenades yesterday, as officers in riot gear sought to push demonstrators away from the city’s
main square following deadly clashes between police and protesters that have left at least
hundred people dead, injured and raised fears of a civil war.

    烏克蘭首都的中心 厚厚黑煙升起
      混雜 警察手榴彈的隆隆聲
   防暴警察 和示威者之間的致命衝突
  造成至少數百人死亡 引發內戰的擔憂。

The violence on Tuesday was the worst in nearly three months of anti-government protests
that have paralyzed Ukraine’s capital in a struggle over the identity of a nation,
and the worst in the country’s post-Soviet history.

 這次暴力事件 是近三個月的反政府抗議活動 最嚴重的

          癱瘓了烏克蘭的首都
          预示了烏克蘭的掙扎
      也是蘇聯解體後最嚴重的動亂。

 

The protests broke out after President Viktor Yanukovych's government rejected a far-reaching
accord with the European Union in November 2013 in favour of stronger ties with Russia.
Thousands of people poured into central Kiev for peaceful protests. They have occupied
Independence Square, known as Maidan.
