智课网TOEFL备考资料从枪击案看白人至上种族主义走向一托福阅读机经背景 American Sikhs have been mourning the victims of the mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin - and are trying to comprehend an act that seems senseless. The shooters motives are unclear, but one organization that monitors hate groups points to the Internet as a breeding ground for racial hatred. 美国威斯康辛州一所锡克寺庙8月份发生的一起枪击案再次引起美国对仇恨犯罪的重视。一个研究机构指出，因特网是蕴育种族仇视的温床。 In the Los Angeles suburb of Walnut, Sikhs and other community members gathered for a vigil to remember the victims of the Wisconsin shooting. 在加州洛杉矶郊外，锡克教徒和其他民众在烛光中哀悼威斯康辛州的遇难锡克教徒。 Some also tried to understand what motivated the accused shooter, Wade Michael Page. 人们试图了解被控杀人枪手佩吉的为人和他的动机。 California temple member Nachhatar Singh Bhullar calls the act senseless. 锡克教徒布拉尔说，这个枪击案不可理喻。 It could happen anywhere.
