匹兹堡枪击案凶手对移民暴怒不已，并袭击了犹太教堂的原因
On Saturday, a shooter opened fire inside a synagogue in the heart of a heavily Jewish neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The attack occurred during Shabbat services and during a bris, a celebration of a newborn life.
synagogue n. 犹太教堂，犹太会堂
in the heart of 在一个地方的中心
周六，一名枪手在匹兹堡一个犹太人聚居区中心的犹太教堂内开火。这次枪击发生在安息日礼拜，当时正值一场庆祝新生命诞生的割礼仪式。
Immediately before the massacre, the alleged killer tweeted about HIAS, an organization once known as the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society that dates back to the late 19th century.
massacre n.大屠杀；残杀
alleged adj.涉嫌犯罪的，被指控的
once known as 曾今被称为
Sheltering n.庇护所
就在屠杀发生不久前，嫌犯发表了关于犹太移民援助协会（HIAS）的推特，这个组织曾经被称为希伯来庇护和移民援助协会，其历史可以追溯到 19 世纪晚期。
"HIAS likes to bring invaders that kill our people," he wrote. It doesn't take a deep understanding of American anti-Semitism to know that to him, "our people" did not include Jewish Americans, even though Jews have lived in America since before the founding of the United States and the congregation he attacked has been convening to pray since the Civil War.
anti-Semitism n. 反犹太主义，排犹主义
congregation n.教堂会众
convene v. 集合；召集；开会
他写道：“HIAS 喜欢帮助那些杀害我们同胞的入侵者入境。” 对美国反犹太主义略知一二的人就会知道，对他来说，“我们同胞” 并不包括犹太裔美国人，尽管犹太人在美国建国以前就一直生活在这片土地上，而他所袭击的宗教团体从美国内战以来就一直在集会祷告。
Why, then, did this white-nationalist xenophobe gun down local Jews to protest HIAS? The massacre reflects a stark reality with deep roots in American history: Anti-Semitism, nativism and anti-immigrant sentiments have long been inextricably intertwined.
xenophobe n. 排外者；恐外者
gun down 开枪射杀
deep root 深深扎根
stark adj. 残酷的；不愉快的
nativism n.本土主义者
sentiment n.情绪；观点；意见；看法；
inextricably adv. 不可分开地；密不可分地；紧密地
intertwine v. 缠绕；交织
那么，为什么这个白人民族主义仇外者会开枪射杀当地的犹太人，以此来抗议 HIAS 呢？这场屠杀反映了一个深深扎根于美国历史的残酷现实：反犹太主义，本土主义和反移民情绪长期以来紧密交织在一起。
The anti-Semitism that drove the immigration policy of the early 20th century never faded from American life. Nor did its connection to anti-immigrant sentiment. And that sentiment is what compelled a shooter ranting about HIAS to massacre Jews who were part of a congregation that dates to the 1800s and is located in a city where HIAS has no offices or presence.
immigration policy 移民政策
fade v.逐渐消失
compell sb to do sth. 迫使某人做某事
rant v. 怒吼；抱怨；叫嚷；大声责骂
presence n.驻地代表
20 世纪初美国移民政策的幕后黑手，反犹太主义，从未从美国人的生活中消失。而反犹太主义和反移民情绪之间的联系也留存至今。正是这种反移民情绪驱使了这位痛骂 HIAS 的枪手去屠杀犹太人，即便这些受害者属于一个 19 世纪初就建立了的宗教团体，所在的城市也并没有 HIAS 办事处或者成员。
