The Chinese government’s campaign against a US and South Korean anti-missile system has attracted some unusual recruits: school children as young as seven who have joined impromptu rallies and boycotts across the country.
中国政府反对美韩反导系统的宣传攻势吸引来了一些不同寻常的新加入者——年龄低至七岁的小学生，他们也参与到全国性的即兴集会和抵制活动中。
This month, the Century Star Elementary School in Yali township, part of Hebei province, organised a rally attended by about 400 students and staff. In a video posted online, students no older than 12 pledged to boycott South Korean products and “resist” the deployment of a US-operated Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system, or Thaad.
本月，河北省牙里镇世纪星小学(Century Star Elementary School)组织了一次由大约400名师生参加的集会。在一段网络视频中，年龄不超过12岁的学生们发誓要抵制韩国货，“抵制”美国运作的“末段高空区域防御系统”（THAAD，中文简称：萨德）的部署。
At the rally, a school teacher painted a grim picture of the potential consequences of the Thaad deployment. “South Korea is our neighbour,” the teacher said. “In the event of war, the US will turn China into a slaughterhouse. For China, [Thaad] is a fatal threat.”
在这次集会上，一名学校教师描绘了有关部署萨德潜在影响的严峻图景。“韩国是我国的邻国。”这位教师表示，“一旦战争爆发，中国就将变成美国的屠宰场，这对中国将是一个致命的威胁。”
