12,000人！聚集州会大厦外参加基督教音乐会！没有口罩，没有社交距离，只靠上帝保佑！
FILE -- Sean Feucht sings on stage with his family in front of the west steps of the state Capitol on Saturday, May 23, 2020, as protesters gathered for an event called Liberty Fest. Feucht returned to the Capitol on Sunday, September 6, 2020, for a “Let Us Worship” rally and concert.
2020年5月23日，周六，当抗议者聚集在一起参加自由节(Liberty Fest)时，肖恩·费乌赫特(Sean Feucht)和家人在州议会大厦西台阶前的舞台上唱歌。福乌赫特于2020年9月6日星期天回到州会大厦，参加一场“让我们做礼拜”的集会和音乐会。
Neither coronavirus restrictions nor record-smashing heat could stop a massive crowd from assembling outside the Capitol in Sacramento for a Christian music concert Sunday evening.
无论是冠状病毒的限制，还是破纪录的高温，都无法阻止，周日晚上聚集在萨克拉门托州会大厦外，参加基督教音乐会的人群。
Almost none of the thousands attending wore a mask during the hours-long event, and spectators were packed in about as tight as could be, photos and video from the concert/protest demonstration show. That prompts concern amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has infected close to 20,000 people in Sacramento County and killed over 330 residents, including 190 deaths in the capital city.
从音乐会的照片和视频中可以看到，在长达数小时的活动中，数千名出席者几乎没有人戴口罩，观众挤得紧紧的。新冠病毒(COVID-19)正在流行，这引发了人们的担忧。新冠病毒已经在萨克拉门托县感染了近2万人，造成330多名居民死亡，其中首府有190人死亡。
Christian musicians and speakers, including the state senate’s Republican party leader, nonetheless took the stage on the west steps of the Capitol for what organizers called a “Let Us Worship” rally. Events branded under that title have toured West Coast cities in recent weeks, including Redding, Fresno and Pismo Beach.
尽管如此，基督教音乐家和演讲者，包括州参议院的共和党领袖，登上了州会大厦西边台阶上的讲台，参加组织者所说的“让我们敬拜”集会。最近几周，包括Redding, Fresno 和 Pismo Beach在内的西海岸城市都在举办这类活动。
“We are gonna worship like we’ve never worshiped before, and I declare that after all of this is over tonight, the remnant, the residue of this worship will saturate this ground and seep into that building,” said Sen. Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, the Senate’s minority leader and one of the first speakers invited to take the stage. “And when it goes into that building, it will touch every heart that enters. God bless you, let us worship!”
参议院少数党领袖、r -贝克斯菲尔德参议员香农·格罗夫(Shannon Grove)说:“我们将以从未有过的方式进行礼拜。我宣布，在今晚这一切结束后，这次礼拜的精神将浸没这片土地，渗透到那座大楼里。”她是最早被邀请上台演讲的人之一。“当它进入大楼，它将感动每一个进入的心。上帝保佑你，让我们一起敬拜吧!”
Grove isn’t supposed to be at the Capitol. She and nearly all of her fellow Republican state senators were ordered into 14 days of quarantine, from Aug. 27 through this Thursday, after state Sen. Brian Jones, R-Santee, tested positive for COVID-19. Only one Republican, Sen. Jim Nielsen of Tehama, was spared from the restriction because he missed a caucus lunch that Jones and all of the others attended.
格鲁夫不应该在州会大厦。桑蒂州参议员布莱恩·琼斯(Brian Jones)被检测出COVID-19呈阳性后，她和该州几乎所有共和党参议员都被要求从8月27日到本周四接受14天的隔离。只有特哈马的共和党参议员吉姆·尼尔森(Jim Nielsen)没有受到这项限制，因为他错过了琼斯和其他所有人参加的党团午餐会。
At the helm of the musical prayer-protest movement making its way through California and beyond is Sean Feucht, a self-described “missionary, artist, speaker, author, activist, and the founder of multiple worldwide movements” with ties to a controversial Redding megachurch whose members believe they can heal the sick and raise the dead.
在加州乃至更遥远的地方领导音乐祈祷抗议运动的是Sean Feucht，他自称是“传教士、艺术家、演说家、作家、活动家和多个全球运动的创始人”，与一个有争议的Redding大教堂有联系，该教堂的成员相信他们可以治愈病人和起死复生。
The Let Us Worship rallies come in response to government-issued restrictions that have closed churches for indoor worship during most of the pandemic.
“让我们做礼拜”集会的出现是对政府颁布的限制措施的回应。在疫情期间，政府禁止教堂在室内做礼拜。
Starting around 5 p.m. Sunday in Sacramento, spectators listened to impassioned preaching and joined in prayer and song, live-streamed video of the event shows. Grove at one point Sunday evening led a call-and-response chant, asking the massive crowd in front of her to praise California, its counties, its cities and its residents. Feucht played guitar and sang along with locally based Christian musicians, interspersed with preaching in which he repeatedly said God hasn’t given up on California.
在萨克拉门托，从周日下午5点左右开始，观众们听着充满激情的布道，一起祈祷、唱歌，以及现场直播的活动视频。周日晚上，格罗夫一度发起了号召和回应活动，要求她前面的人群赞美加州、它的县、它的城市和它的居民。佛乌赫特和当地的基督教音乐家一起弹吉他、唱歌，并在布道中反复强调上帝并没有放弃加州。
“What if just for a moment we refused to buy in to the pessimistic, skeptical media? What if for a minute, we just decided to look in this book,” Feucht shouted, holding up a bible, “and prophecize the promises of God?”
“如果我们暂时拒绝接受悲观、怀疑的媒体会怎么样?”如果有那么一分钟，我们决定去看这本书，”Feucht举起一本圣经喊道，“并且预言上帝的应许会怎么样?”
Downtown Sacramento reached 109 degrees Sunday, matching an all-time record for September in the capital city, the National Weather Service confirmed. Feucht wore a white T-shirt and shorts, and early in the event, he urged the crowd to stay hydrated. But he also pointed out that worshipers’ drive to assemble and pray together couldn’t be stopped by the extreme heat, which he hyperbolized as “100,000 degrees.”
美国国家气象局(National Weather Service)证实，萨克拉门托市中心周日达到华氏109度，与首府萨克拉门托9月份创下的最高气温纪录持平。福乌赫特身穿白色t恤和短裤，在音乐会开始的时候，他敦促大家多喝水。但他也指出，朝拜者聚集祈祷的欲望不会被极端的高温所阻止，他将其夸张为“10万度”。
Feucht boasted on social media that Sunday’s concert drew more than 11,000 people to California’s Capitol. A CHP spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Bee’s request for comment including an estimate on crowd size, but images from the event show it reached at least several thousand, exacerbating COVID-19 concerns even further.
福乌赫特在社交媒体上夸口说，周日的音乐会吸引了1.1万多人前往加州首府。卫生防护中心发言人没有立即回应Bee的评论要求，包括对人群规模的估计，但从事件的图像显示，至少达到数千人，进一步加剧了对COVID-19的担忧。
Official Capitol Hill police estimate was 12,000 tonight in Sacramento!!!
州会警方官方估计今晚萨克拉门托有12000人!!
At least 10,000 gathered at the California capitol to worship tonight. While yeah that’s cool you could do that I guess, but not one of the videos or photos I saw of the event had people wearing masks and obviously nobody was social distancing...
今晚，至少1万人聚集在加州州会大厦进行礼拜。我想这很酷，你可以这么做，但我看到的视频或照片中没有一个人戴口罩，显然没有人在社交上保持距离……

It’s exactly the type of gathering Gov. Gavin Newsom urged residents to avoid ahead of the Labor Day weekend.
这正是州长加文纽森(Gavin Newsom)敦促居民在劳工节周末之前避免的聚会。
“Yes, it’s Labor Day weekend. No, that does not mean #COVID19 has gone away,” he tweeted Friday. “BE SMART. Don’t gather in large groups. Practice physical distancing. Wear a mask. Your actions this weekend can literally save lives.”
“是的，今天是劳动节周末。不，这并不意味着COVID-19已经消失，”他周五在推特上写道。“乖一点，不要聚在一起。保持身体的距离。戴上口罩。你们这个周末的行动真的可以拯救生命。”
Newsom and the state’s health office have said throughout the pandemic that large crowd events such as concerts, graduation ceremonies, professional sports and others that bring thousands of people together represent by far the biggest risk of spreading COVID-19, and will therefore be the last activities permitted to resume in the statewide reopening process. Events with singing or chanting are of particular concern, because both activities increase the output and range of respiratory droplets that health experts say are the primary transmitter of the coronavirus.
纽森和州卫生办公室表示，在疫情中，音乐会、毕业典礼、职业体育和其他将数千人聚集在一起的大型人群活动，是迄今为止COVID-19传播的最大风险，因此将是全州范围内重新开放进程中获准恢复的最后活动。唱歌或唱歌的活动尤其令人担忧，因为这两种活动都会增加呼吸道飞沫的输出和范围，卫生专家说，这些飞沫是冠状病毒的主要传播媒介。
But the issue is complicated by some public outcry and lawsuits, including some from or on behalf of churches, claiming that preventing certain types of events is a violation of First Amendment rights.
但是这个问题由于一些公众的强烈抗议和诉讼而变得复杂起来，包括一些来自或代表教会的人，声称阻止某些类型的事件是违反第一修正案的权利。
“(O)ur freedom to worship God and obey His Word has come under unprecedented attack,” reads an event description on the Let Us Worship website. “Powerful politicians and social media giants have engaged in unchartered abuses of religious liberty ... It’s time for the Church to rise up with one voice and tell our government leaders and the rulers of big tech that we refuse to be silenced!”
“让我们敬拜”网站上的一篇事件描述写道:“我们敬拜上帝并遵守他的话的自由受到了前所未有的攻击。”“有权势的政客和社交媒体巨头肆意滥用宗教自由……是时候让教会站起来，发出一个声音，告诉我们的政府领导人和大型科技公司的统治者，我们拒绝沉默!”
According to the California Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 guidelines, state directives “do not prohibit in-person outdoor protests as long as you maintain a physical distance of 6 feet between persons or groups of persons from different households at all times.” Local health offices may institute outdoor attendance capacity limits, the state says. Sacramento County’s public health order does not do so.
根据加州公共卫生部门的COVID-19指南，州指令“不禁止个人户外抗议，只要你在任何时候保持来自不同家庭的人或群体之间6英尺的物理距离。”该州表示，当地卫生局可能会制定户外活动人数限制。萨克拉门托县的公共卫生条例没有这样做。
The California Highway Patrol says in its current permitting guidelines that it has lifted the “numerical cap for outdoor attendance” at protests and other First Amendment-protected events “designed for political and religious expression.”
加州公路巡警表示，在目前的许可指南中，他们已经取消了抗议活动和其他受美国宪法第一修正案保护的“为政治和宗教表达而设计”的活动的“户外参加人数上限”。
Earlier in the pandemic, the CHP, which is the law enforcement agency for the Capitol grounds, stopped issuing permits for protests after demonstrators defied Newsom’s stay-at-home order preventing large gatherings, which has been in effect since March. One early May protest at the Capitol calling for the removal of the stay-at-home order resulted in 32 arrests.
在疫情的早些时候，CHP，作为州会的执法机构，停止了为抗议发放许可证，因为示威者无视纽森禁止大型集会的不许外出的命令，这一命令自3月起生效。5月初在州会大厦举行的一场抗议活动要求取消“不在家”令，导致32人被捕。
The CHP rescinded its ban in June amid lawsuits and resumed issuing permits, but said events need to “follow health and safety guidelines relating to the wearing of masks and physical distancing.”
由于面临诉讼，CHP于今年6月取消了禁令，并恢复发放许可证，但表示活动需要“遵守有关戴口罩和保持身体距离的健康和安全指南”。
Participants at Sunday’s concert blatantly violated both of those protocols. The crowd was packed tightly, as seen in video of the event posted to social media and on the Let Us Worship website, and almost no one appeared to be wearing a mask, as social media users were quick to point out in comments.
周日音乐会的参与者公然违反了这两项协议。从社交媒体和“让我们敬拜”(Let Us Worship)网站上发布的活动视频中可以看到，人群拥挤不堪。社交媒体用户很快在评论中指出，几乎没有人戴着口罩。
The CHP’s webpage outlining COVID-19 rules for permitted events, though, phrases face coverings only as “strongly recommended,” though they’ve been mandatory in many public settings statewide since mid-June, including any outdoor scenario in which social distancing from others is not feasible.
然而，CHP网页列出了允许活动的COVID-19规则，措辞只是“强烈建议”，尽管自6月中旬以来，在全州的许多公共场所，包括任何不可行的与他人保持社交距离的户外活动中，都已强制使用。
Maintaining physical distance of 6 feet from others outside of one’s immediate household is described as mandatory at events on the Capitol grounds, the CHP says.
CHP表示，在州会大厦举行的活动中，与家人以外的人保持6英尺的物理距离被描述为强制性的。
“Failure to maintain adequate physical distancing constitutes a violation of the permit and attendees are required to vacate state property,” the CHP website says.
CHP网站称:“未能保持足够的身体距离将构成违反许可证的行为，参会者required to vacate state property。”
This didn’t happen Sunday evening, and CHP officers didn’t enforce distancing requirements — which, given the size of the event and its packed nature, effectively would have meant shutting it down entirely.
这并没有发生在周日晚上，卫生防护中心的官员也没有实施保持距离的要求——考虑到事件的规模和拥挤的性质，这实际上意味着彻底关闭它。
A representative of Newsom’s office deferred response to the CHP, which did not immediately respond to The Bee’s requests for comment Monday morning.
纽森办公室的一名代表推迟了对CHP的回应，CHP没有立即回应蜂报周一早上的评论请求。
Feucht thanked the CHP, whom he erroneously referred to as the “Capitol Hill police,” for “allowing us to exercise our First Amendment right to worship.”
Feucht感谢CHP“允许我们行使宪法第一修正案赋予的宗教信仰权利”，他曾错误地称他们为“州会山警察”。
According to Feucht’s website, the Let Us Worship series includes stops planned next week in Minneapolis and Kenosha, Wis. — cities that were the sites of the high-profile police killing of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake, respectively, prompting months of nationwide protests against police violence and racial injustice.
根据Feucht的网站，Let Us敬拜系列包括计划在明尼阿波利斯和基诺沙，威斯康星州。这两个城市曾先后发生警察枪杀乔治·弗洛伊德和枪杀雅各布·布莱克的事件，引发了长达数月的全国性抗议警察暴力和种族不平等的活动。
