（单词翻译）

This is VOA news. Reporting by remote, I'm David Byrd. Hundreds gathered at a candle-lit rally in Yangon on Saturday in a peaceful protest which defied the 8 p.m. curfew imposed by the military junta¹. The crowd sang songs and arranged candles around a red banner with "RIP" written in white. Earlier, security forces killed at least 12 people by shooting live ammunition² at demonstrators. Thousands of protesters, many of them teachers and university students, held a rally Saturday in Mandalay, where at least four deaths were reported. Other deaths were reported in south-central Myanmar and in a suburb of Yangon, the country's largest city. The February 1 coup³ reversed years of slow progress toward democracy in Myanmar, which for five decades had languished⁴ under strict military rule that led to international isolation⁵ and sanctions.

欢迎收听美国之音新闻。我是大卫·伯德，为您带来远程报道。上周六，数百人聚集在仰光的烛光集会上举行和平抗议，抗议军政府实施的晚8点宵禁规定。抗议者们唱着歌，在写着白色“RIP”的红色横幅周围布置蜡烛。早些时候，安全部队向示威者发射实弹，造成至少12人死亡。数千名抗议者星期六在曼德勒举行集会，其中有许多人是教师和大学生，据报道，此次集会造成至少4人死亡。据报道，在缅甸中南部和该国最大城市仰光的郊区也有人死亡。2月1日的政变扭转了缅甸多年来民主进程缓慢的局面，50年来，严格的军事统治致使缅甸一直萎靡不振，也引发了国际孤立和制裁。

Several people were detained on Saturday night during a vigil for a woman murdered in London in a case that has caused widespread outrage⁶ in Britain about women's safety. As night fell on Saturday, around a thousand people - mostly women - gathered at the site in south London to pay their respects and to protest at the lack of security they felt when out alone, with some chanting "shame on you" at police as they made arrests. The disappearance⁷ of Sarah Everard as she walked home on the evening of March 3 has triggered a wave of accounts from women about the dangers they have felt and experienced when walking streets alone at night. A Metropolitan⁸ Police officer, Wayne Couzens, has been charged with her kidnap and murder. He had a court disappearance in London on Saturday. This is VOA news.
