Tens of thousands of Egyptians descended on central Cairo to challenge new claims to power by President Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist allies, forcing the new leader to manage popular discontent that echoed the protests against the strongman who preceded him.

成千上万名埃及人蜂拥至开罗市中心，抗议埃及总统穆尔西(Mohammed Morsi)及其伊斯兰盟友新的扩权努力，强烈要求这位新任总统努力化解民怨。此次抗议与之前埃及人不满穆尔西铁腕前任的抗议如出一辙。

Activists on Tuesday pitched dozens of tents in Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago, and said they would stay in place until Mr. Morsi rescinds a controversial decree issued last week.

活动人士周二在开罗解放广场(Tahrir Square)上搭起了数十顶帐篷，并且说在穆尔西撤销其上周颁布的争议性法令之前，他们绝不离开。解放广场是埃及近两年前推翻前总统穆巴拉克(Hosni Mubarak)那场革命的策源地。

Mr. Morsi said Thursday that his decisions as president would be immune from judicial review, in a decree that would prevent judges from dissolving the committee -- dominated by Islamist politicians from the powerful Muslim Brotherhood Mr. Morsi once led -- that is responsible for drafting a new Egyptian constitution.

穆尔西上周四颁布法令说，总统的决定将免受司法审查，这样法官就不能解散负责起草埃及新宪法的委员会。该委员会现由穆斯林兄弟会(Muslim Brotherhood)这一强大组织中的伊斯兰政客所主导，穆尔西曾是穆斯林兄弟会的领袖。
