法国总统马克龙的支持率比特朗普还低
FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron’s popularity ratings recovered slightly in May, a survey showed on Friday, following a series of government concessions aimed at ending the sometimes violent yellow vest movement.
周五一项调查显示，法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙的受欢迎程度在五月份略有回升，因为此前政府为了结束频繁发生的暴力的“黄马甲运动”做出了一系列让步。
The government has scrambled to shake off the social crisis, which began as a peaceful protest against planned fuel tax hikes but quickly morphed into a working class rebellion. The 41-year-old’s approval ratings jumped by one point to 26 per cent, a level not seen since last summer, a YouGov poll for the Huffington Post and French television channel CNews found. But Mr Macron’s dissatisfaction rating remains high, with 66 per cent of respondents telling pollsters they hold an “unfavourable” opinion of him. Eight per cent said they were indifferent.
政府一直在努力摆脱社会危机，这次危机最初只是和平的反对燃油税上调计划的抗议-活动，但很快演变成工人阶级的叛乱。YouGov为赫芬顿邮报和法国电视频道CNews进行的民意调查显示，这位41岁总统的支持率上升了一点，达到26%，去年夏天至今就没到过这个水平。但马克龙的反对率仍然很高，66%的受访者对民意调查员说他们“不支持”他，8%的人持中立态度。
The poll comes as anti-government yellow vest demonstrations recorded their lowest turnout yet on Saturday.
这项民意调查正值周六反政府黄马甲示威人数创下新低之际。
Some 18,900 people took part in the marches nationally, compared with 23,600 a week earlier, according to the Interior Ministry. In Paris, where just three protests had been declared, turnout was 1,460 against 2,600 last week.
内政部称全国有18,900人参与了这次示威活动，一周前示威人数为23,600人。巴黎只宣布了三次抗议-活动，参与人数从上周的2,600人下降到1,460人。
In contrast, tens of thousands of labour union and yellow vest protesters had taken to the streets across the country on Wednesday in May Day demonstrations marred by violent clashes between far-left anarchist groups and riot police, especially in Paris.
相反，数万工会和黄马甲抗议人员在周三的五一劳动节游行期间走上全国的街头，这一游行活动却被极左无政府主义团体和防暴警察之间的暴力冲突破坏了，在巴黎情况尤为严重。
But the sharp downturn in demonstrator numbers on the 25th consecutive weekend of protests is a huge relief to Mr Macron, who last week outlined a series of policy proposals to address the issues raised by the yellow vests.
但在抗议开始以来的第25个周末示威人数锐减对马克龙来说很是安慰，他上周刚提出了一系列政策提议来解决黄马甲运动带来的问题。
The protests, named after the fluorescent safety jackets all French motorists must carry, began in November over planned f
uel tax increases but quickly ballooned into a working class revolt against the political elite and a government widely perceived as arrogant and out of touch.抗议-运动的名字来自所有法国司机车内必备的安全荧光外套，这次抗议开始于11月份出台燃油税上调计划期间，但很快升级为工人阶级的起义，反对政治精英和人们普遍认为傲慢并且脱离人民的政府。
