📝 英文原文:
Stone Mountain, Georgia—Jean Shifrin was hiking up a steep mountain trail on the Fourth of July when she was startled by something approaching her from behind.“What in the world is going on here?” she wondered as she squinted in the morning sun at what was coming.It was a White man and two Black men marching an 8-foot wooden cross up the slippery slope. One of the Black men, built like a linebacker, led the way. He balanced the head of the cross on his left shoulder while barking in a drill sergeant’s baritone, “Yessir! Yessir!”The White man, his sinewy, tattooed arms already beet-red from the sun, shouldered the cross from the center beam. Another stout Black man brought up the rear. They were trailed by a cheering entourage, including a boy carrying a Bible and a middle-aged Chinese woman who kept shouting“Jiayou!,”or “Keep going!”inMandarin.Shifrin, a wiry, 68-year-old photographer, is accustomed to strange sights on this mountain, a 825-foot-high rock monolith near Atlanta. The place itself is an historical oddity. Stone Mountain isknownas the “Mount Rushmore of the Confederacy” and ashrine to White supremacybecause of a gigantic carving blasted into one side of its granite face.Related articleRaymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty ImagesChanges are coming to the nation’s largest Confederate monument. Are they enough?8  min readThe carving depicts the holy trinity of the Confederacy — Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and Jefferson Davis — mounted on horseback. It stands taller than the iconic presidents onMount Rushmoreand is thelargestConfederate monument in the nation.Not long ago, though, the only White men who carried crosses up Stone Mountain burned them. The mountain was the birthplace of the modern-day Ku Klux Klan, and a frequent rallying site for other White supremacist groups. It’s also been a frequent target for Black Lives Matter protestors and others who seek the removal of themore than 600Confederate monuments that still stand across Ame

佐治亚州斯通山——7 月 4 日,吉恩·希夫林 (Jean Shifrin) 正在攀登一条陡峭的山道,突然被身后接近的东西吓了一跳。“这里到底发生了什么?”当她在早晨的阳光下眯着眼睛观察即将发生的事情时,她想知道接下来会发生什么。 那是一名白人和两名黑人,正推着一个 8 英尺高的木制十字架走上滑坡。一名身材像后卫的黑人在前面带路。他一边用钻头咆哮,一边将十字头平衡在左肩上。
