周六(6月11日),2016年欧洲杯俄罗斯对战英格兰的比赛结束后,双方球迷发生暴力冲突。数十名俄罗斯球迷冲入英格兰球迷看台,扔东西、撕扯国旗,与尚未撤离的英格兰球迷互殴。
对球迷之间的“暴力冲突”,此处用了mayhem,是个相对严厉的词,用来描述极度混乱状态,此处即表示双方球迷之间冲突时严重混乱的状态,包括球迷互殴等。法律上可以称为“故意伤害罪”、“蓄意的破坏”等。
对于“暴力冲突”,比较常见的说法还有以下几种:
1.violence 暴力,暴行,暴乱
Violence back to haunt football at Euro 2016.
暴力冲突再次成为2016欧洲杯挥之不去的噩梦。
2.clash 冲突,碰撞,不协调
