Under the CCP regime, it is forbidden for Chinese people to speak their beliefs, those who do are severely punished and often tortured to death.
在共產政權下，中國人是被禁止說他們的信仰，凡是這麼做的人都受到嚴厲的懲罰，並且常被酷刑折磨至死。
The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is a current example of their brutality.
對法輪功的迫害是他們的殘暴在目前的一個例子。
【講解】persecution: 迫害。殘酷的、野蠻的一般記者會用brutal, cruel, savage。.
Following the rally, which included skits, songs, and impassioned speeches, the group marched through Chinatown behind the banner printed with “A Grand Parade for Freedom and Democracy in China- in support of over one million people withdrawing from the CCP.”
在包括了諷刺劇、歌唱與激情演講的集會之後，參加集會的團體在「中國自由民主大遊行─聲援百萬人退出共產黨」的旗幟之後，遊行穿過中國城。」
【講解】像這一句唯一的動詞在那兒呢？答案是marched。這句的結構是：介係詞片語+形容詞子句+主要子句+介係詞片語+分詞片語。
following= after= in the wake of。新聞英語句子之所以變得很長，多數都是名詞的修飾所造成的。像這句簡化起來就是Following the rally, the group marched through Chinatown behind the banner.
大家要有個概念，句子中任何名詞都可作後位修飾，不僅是主詞和受詞。像這句的後位修飾都是用在介係詞片語中的名詞，the rally與the banner. 前面用了形容詞子句，後面就用分詞片語。因為分詞片語其實就是容詞子句省略掉關係代名詞+ be動詞所形成的。
Supporters from Romania, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Germany, and Spain joined the rally amongst others from across the globe.
來自羅馬尼亞、波蘭、俄羅斯、瑞典、德國與西班牙的支持者，與來自全球的其他人士，共同參與了這項盛大集會。
Both those who have experienced the grim realities of life under communist rule, and those who cherish freedom everywhere, walked together in support of the move to democracy in China.
那些在共產統治下經歷過恐佈現實的人們，與那些全世界各地珍視自由的人們，走在了一起，以支持中國這個走向民主的行動。
【講解】those who, 凡是那些人。
It was a peaceful and joyous affair, with the marchers sharing their hope for a new day in China with the merchants and locals of Chinatown.
遊行者與中國城的商家和當地居民分享他們對新中國的希望，這真是一件和平而又令人喜悅的事情。
【講解】with有隨著的意思。
Following the parade, many of the marchers continued a long walk to the Chinese consulate on 42nd St. to appeal for the rights of Chinese people, and to support the mass withdrawal from the CCP.
在遊行之後，許多遊行者繼續走很長一段路，到位於42街的中國領事館，為中國人的人權請願，並且聲援這麼大批的人們退出共產黨。
【講解】consulate是領事館，embassy則是大使館。中國在美國的大使館只有一處，在華盛頓；領事館則有多處，分布於各大都市。
