在首都巴黎街头，人们可以明显体会到全球对法国的支持。

More than 30 million tourists visit Paris every year.

巴黎每年接待3千多万外国游客。那些依靠旅游业的人担心，恐怖袭击可能会吓跑游客。

Those who depend on the tourist business fear the terrorist attacks could drive away customers.

脚踏出租车导游穆罕默德·纳克沙耶特说：

“Because if it continues like this, it's, you know.. wheh! We are living from tourism in this city," said Mohamed Nacshait, of Bicycle Taxi Tour. "This city is..one of the main, you know, sources of its economy is tourism, you know.”

有些人回想起美国9/11恐怖袭击后那种恐惧情绪。

“I have no idea what tourists must have felt like in my city," said Dawn Mabalon, a history professor at San Francisco State University. "You know, I'm sure they were scared. But, I also remember the next day having to go to the grocery store too and having to move my car because it was street cleaning. And, just having to kind of do the every day things that we have to do in San Francisco and as the Parisians are doing here.”

旧金山州立大学历史学教授唐·马巴隆说：“我不知道当时在我所在的城市游客们心里是怎么想的。我肯定他们吓坏了。可我还记得，第二天还得去杂货店里买东西，还要把车挪开，因为要清扫街道了。所以，每天的事情，该做的还得做，我们旧金山人是这样，巴黎人也是一样的。”

土耳其游客穆斯塔法·埃特卡图克说：“我理解他们的感受，因为我们安卡拉也发生过爆炸事件。我也失去过朋友。所以，我们知道他们此刻心里的感觉。”

荷兰商人林明（Ming Lam）说：“支持这里的人民，支持这里的经济，支持这里的生活。什么也别改变，坚持下去。”
