　　All is calm outside the southern U.S. South Carolina statehouse Sunday, a day after scufflesbroke out when the white supremacy group Ku Klux Klan protesting the removal of theConfederate flag came face-to-face with African-American activists demonstrating nearby.

　　星期天，美国南卡来罗纳州议会外平静无事。之前主张白人至上的组织三K党的部分成员星期六在州议会外集会，抗议南卡取下内战纪念碑悬挂的邦联旗帜，他们与在附近示威的非洲裔美国人发生对峙。

　　Police in the state capital, Columbia, made several arrests, but there were no reports of injuriesas protesters from both sides taunted and yelled at each other.

　　南卡州府哥伦比亚的警方逮捕了几个人。但是没有关于有人受伤的报道。双方互相嘲讽和互喊。

　　Police eventually escorted the outnumbered Ku Klux Klan members from the grounds of thestate capitol, as others dispersed.

　　人数远不及对方的三K党成员最后在警察的护送下离开州议会所在地。

　　The Confederate flag, viewed by opponents as a historic symbol of racial hatred towardblacks, was removed from the statehouse grounds in response to last month's killings of nineblack church-goers in the city of Charleston.

　　南卡查尔斯顿市一著名黑人教堂6月发生枪击案，有9名黑人被打死。州议会随后通过法案，禁止在州议会外悬挂内战中代表南方一些州的邦联旗帜。批评者认为邦联旗帜是对黑人种族仇恨的历史象征。
