According to the official version of the Boycott it was started by Rosa Parks on the evening of December l,1955,when she refused to give up her seat to a white manThat was the day when the Black population of Montgomery, Alabama, democratically decided that they would boycott the city buses until they could sit anywhere they wanted, instead of being forced to sit in the back when a white boarded. It was not, however, the day that the movement started Perhaps the movement started on the day in 1943 when a black dressmaker named Rosa Parks paid her bus fare and then watched the bus drive off as she tried to reenter through the rear（后面的）door, as the driver had told her to do. Perhaps the movement started on the day in 1949 when a black professor Jo Ann Robinson sat at the front of a nearly empty bus, then ran off in tears when the bus driver screamed at her for doing so. Perhaps the movement started on the day in the early 1950s when a black pastor（牧师) named Vernon Johns tried to get other blacks to leave a bus in protest after he was forced to give up his seat to a white man, only to have them tell him, “You ought to know better. ”今年12月将要庆祝持续一年之久的蒙哥马利抵制(boycott)公交事件50周年。根据官方版本(version)，抵制是由罗莎帕克斯于1955年12月1日发起的，当时她拒绝给一位白人让座。那天也是阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利的黑人民主决定抵制城市公交直到他们能坐在任何想坐的地方，而不是在有白人上车(board)时被强迫坐在后面。然而，那不是运动开始的日子。或许(perhaps)运动开始于1943年，当一个名为罗莎帕克斯的黑人裁缝(dressmaker)付了公交车费(bus fare)然而当其按司机的吩咐准备从后门再次上车时，公交却开走了。或许这个运动开始于1949年一个名叫乔罗宾逊的黑人教授坐车的某一天。当时她坐在一辆空空的公交车的前部，公交司机为此对其大叫(scream)她忍不住流下眼泪。或许这个运动始于20世纪50年代的某_二天。当时一个名为费侬约翰斯的黑人牧师让其他黑人离开公交以抗议他被迫将位置让给一个白人，结果其他黑人却对他说“你应当识趣一点(You ought to know better)。第82篇In 1967 when talking about Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King said: “There is nothing but a lack of social vision to prevent us from paying an adequate wage to every American citizen whether he be a hospital worker, laundry worker, maid, or day laborer. There is nothing except shortsightedness to prevent us from guaranteeing an annual minimum-and livable-income for every American family.”. The union of an energized section of labor, Negroes, unemployed, and welfare recipients may be the source of power that reshapes economic relationships and ushers(带来;预示) in a breakthrough to a new level of social reform He also remarked that the reality of equality in race relations and other far-reaching structural changes in society might well begin thereHe called the Montgomery Bus Boycott an example of such a union and it remains, to this day, one of the best models for victorious struggle in the history of working people in the United States.”1967年马丁路德金在谈到蒙哥马利抵制公交事件时，发表了如下评论：“只有缺乏社会远见才会阻止我们为每一位美国公民支付充足的报酬，无论他是一个医院工作人员，洗衣工(laundry worker)，女佣或是按日计酬的劳动者(laborer)。”“只有短视才会阻止我们确保每一个美国家庭有最低(minimum)但可以生存的年收入。”“劳动者中最有活力部分(section)的联盟(union),黑人，失业者和靠福利(welfare)生活的人可能是可以重塑经济关系，取得重大突破（breakthrough），促使社会改革更上一个新台阶的力量源泉。”他还评论(remark)说种族(race)平等的实现和其他影响深远的社会结构变革或许是从那时开始的。他称蒙哥马利抵制公交事件是“这种联盟的例子，而且直到今天，仍然是美国工人历史上胜利斗争的最好范例之一。”第83篇It wasnt Santa Claus that rescue workers found stuck up a chimney in central Australia on Friday - it was a would-be burglar.Staff at a hotel in Alice Springs heard a man groaning(呻吟) when they arrived for work in the hotel bar, and called the fire department.The man had been stuck inside the chimney for about lo hours with his knees jammed tightly into his chest, said local fire station officer Mark James.Firefighters and ambulance officers spent 90 minutes trying to free the man before finally removing part of the chimney with jackhammers.
