美国的枪支暴力事件这几年愈演愈烈,已经严重危害到了民众的生命财产安全。据外媒报道,光是在美国的圣克拉拉县,枪击事件每年造成的经济损失就高达7200万美元。
Firearm incidents cost Santa Clara, a US county in Northern California, 72 million US dollars each year, according to a report by San Jose Spotlight on Monday.
据圣何塞焦点网5月23日报道,枪支暴力事件每年导致美国加州北部的圣克拉拉县损失7200万美元(约合人民币4.8亿元)。
The estimate covers the costs of public sector responses to gun violence. Margaret Petros, executive director of Mothers Against Murder, a nonprofit that assists victims of violent crimes, said she was stunned by the financial cost of gun violence in Santa Clara County. She noted the financial burden of gun violence can be traumatizing for families.
这一数额涵盖了应对枪支暴力的公共支出。援助暴力犯罪受害者的非营利组织“母亲们抗击凶杀”的执行董事玛格丽特·佩德罗斯说,她被圣克拉拉县枪支暴力带来的经济损失惊呆了。她指出,枪支暴力的经济负担会给家庭造成创伤。
The county's Assistant District Attorney James Gibbons-Shapiro also said that shootings have impacts on communities throughout the county that go deeper than dollars.
该县的地区助理检察官詹姆斯·吉本斯-夏比骆还表示,枪击事件给该县各社区带来了比经济损失更加深远的影响。
