烟花还是枪声？
据《华盛顿邮报》报道，在美国奥兰多的一场烟花表演中，有人向庆祝独立日的人群投掷鞭炮，引发了恐慌。游客们惊慌逃跑，有人甚至跳进水里寻求庇护。

美媒科普：如何分辨烟花和枪声
在独立日发生多起因烟花造成的恐慌事件后，美国媒体开始教网友如何分辨巨大的声响到底是庆祝的焰火，还是致命的枪声。
美国广播公司第七频道：枪声还是放烟花：教你如何分辨
今日美国：是一连串爆裂声还是单个炸响：如何辨别烟花和枪声 Pop-pop-pop, a thunderous boom, or 30 seconds of rapid-fire cracks, but can you tell if it's gunshots or fireworks? 6park.com砰——砰——砰，如隆隆滚雷，或是30秒连续炸响，你能分辨出这是枪声还是烟花吗？ 6park.com记者请里士满警察局公共信息办公室的Alicia Moore介绍了两者的区别：
美国广播公司第七频道写道： 6park.com"Gunshots are very crisp and they have a certain timing or cadence to them." 6park.com枪声是清脆的，有一定节奏和起落。
Gunshots 枪声 6park.com"Fireworks are very loud, just like gunfire, but they are very sporadic. There is a lot of crackling, sometimes they echo and sometimes there is a whistle before the fireworks. Usually you can tell based on just the cadence alone." 6park.com烟花声很响，这点和枪声一样，但烟花是零星断续的，噼啪作响，有时有回声震荡，有时炸裂前会有哨声。通常光听节奏就能分辨出来。 6park.com文章在科普的同时心酸地写道，“希望你永远也不用问到这个问题”。 6park.comHopefully, you'll never find yourself asking this question. Being able to quickly distinguish gunshots from fireworks and react fast is just one more skill to keep you safe. 6park.com但愿你永远也不需要问这个问题。但现在，能够快速识别枪声和烟花，并迅速作出反应，是能让你保命的逃生技能之一。

美国网友：我们都得了PTSD 一个在奥兰多经历了虚惊一场的网友称，“要时刻准备着有大规模枪击发生，光是这件事就说明这个国家已经烂到根子里了。” 6park.com“The fact that you have to be ready for a mass shooting at any moment is proof of a country rotten to its core,” wrote a Twitter user who said he was there. 6park.com相关视频下，许多网友也为美国的现状感到悲伤：
频发的大规模枪击事件，仿佛令美国民众集体患上了PTSD（post-traumatic stress disorder，创伤后应激障碍）。 6park.com
好像我们都对这些响声有PTSD了，因为枪击案在美国发生太频繁了……太伤心。
所有人都紧张兮兮的。我们现在生活在一个可怕的世界。
太悲哀了！现如今大家都遭受了深深的创伤。
太丢人了我们在美国的生活变成现在这样。 “It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Monday. “While we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become our weekly — yes weekly — American tradition.”
伊利诺伊州州长普利兹克说，一场为美国而举行的欢庆，被美国独有的瘟疫撕裂，这是多么令人痛心疾首。我们一年只庆祝一次独立日，而大规模枪击却成为了每周——是的，每周——例行的美国传统。 6park.com
