Students celebrating spring break

美国春假学生挤爆海滩

College students are continuing to flock to Florida beaches to celebrate spring break despite the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

尽管新冠肺炎疫情仍在持续，大学生们却纷纷涌向海滩庆祝春假。

Although universities around the country either scaled back the traditional holiday week or canceled it altogether, the Sunshine State saw an influx of traveling students.

美国各地大学或缩短了传统的假日周，或干脆取消春假，但佛罗里达州还是出现了大批来度假的学生。

Miami Beach Police fired pepper balls into crowds of partiers and arrested at least a dozen people late Saturday as the city took extraordinary measures to crack down on spring breakers who officials have said are out of control.

当地时间3月20日晚些时候，迈阿密海滩警察向参加聚会的人群发射胡椒弹，并逮捕了至少12人，因为该市采取了非常措施打击春假违反防疫规定者，官员们称人群已失控。

The aggressive enforcement actions came just hours after Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber declared a state of emergency and set an 8 pm curfew, saying the crowds that have descended on the city recently are "more than we can handle." "Too many are coming, really, without the intention of following the rules, and the result has been a level of chaos and disorder that is just something more than we can endure," Gelber said.

这次激进的执法行动实施前的几小时，迈阿密海滩市长丹·盖尔伯宣布进入紧急状态，并在晚上8点实施宵禁，称最近涌入该市的人群超出了他们的处理能力。盖尔伯表述：“真的，有太多的人来了，却无人遵守防疫规则，结果造成了一度混乱和无序，这是我们无法容忍的。”
