Copies of the latest Charlie Hebdo sell out quickly
最新一期查理周刊很快销售一空
Parisians waited in long lines Wednesday morning to buy the latest edition of Charlie Hebdo. All across the French capital, copies of the magazine were sold out within minutes. Charlie Hebdo often publishes anti-religious pieces and cartoons of famous people. On Wednesday, the magazine had an illustration of the Prophet Muhammed holding a sign that reads, "I am Charlie." Next to the picture, a sentence says, in French, "All is forgiven."
巴黎人周三早上排长队购买最新一期的查理周刊。在法国首都各地,所有杂志在几分钟内被抢购一空。查理周刊经常发表反宗教作品和名人漫画。周三的这期杂志刊登了一副插画,在画面中,先知穆罕默德举着“我是查理”的标牌。在插画的旁边,有一句法语写着“赦免一切。”
The magazine's publishers planned to produce three million copies of the latest issue. That compares to the normal print run of about 60,000. A spokesman for Charlie Hebdo's distributor says another two million copies will be ordered because of the high demand.
该杂志出版商计划印刷300万份最新一期的杂志。与此相比,正常印数大约是6万份。查理周刊发行商的一位发言人表示,由于供不应求,将再订购200万份杂志。
