开罗发生去年革命以来最大冲突

Tens of thousands of supporters and opponents of Egypt's president clashed Wednesday, hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails and brawling in Cairo's streets, in the largest violent battle between Islamists and their foes since the country's revolution early last year.

数万名埃及总统的支持者和反对者周三发生冲突，双方互掷石块和燃烧瓶，并在开罗街头打斗。这是去年初埃及爆发革命以来伊斯兰主义者及其反对者之间爆发的最为暴力的一场争斗。

The confrontation started in the evening after Islamist protesters marching in support of President Mohammed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, moved to break up a demonstration by the president's non-Islamist opponents outside the presidential palace in Cairo, where Mr. Morsi has his offices.

对抗于周三晚上开始。冲突发生前，游行支持埃及总统穆尔西(Mohammed Morsi)的伊斯兰抗议者试图驱散穆尔西的反对者在开罗总统府外举行的示威活动。穆尔西在总统府办公，他曾经是穆斯林兄弟会(Muslim Brotherhood)的领导人。这些反对者都不是伊斯兰主义者。

Supporters of the rival camps, spurred by public defiance by influential figures on each side, waged back-and-forth battles in side streets outside the palace walls as night fell, shutting down major thoroughfares. Around midnight, police formed a barrier between the camps, with thousands of demonstrators on each side, as gunshots rang out and each side accused the other of firing live rounds.
