“依赖”
用英语怎么说？

The protests began on Sunday with merchants who rely on importing electrical goods and find that very few can now afford them. But they’ve quickly mushroomed-as did previous rounds did in 2017, 2019, and 2022-spreading to cities in provinces such as Hamedan, Isfahan, and Lorestan, and drawing in students, pensioners, and members of Gen Z. Like previous waves of demonstrations, the protests have quickly acquired a political character. Protesters have chanted, “Death to the dictator,” targeting the octogenarian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has held the top post since 1989 with little accountability. As a statement read out by students at Tehran’s Beheshti University put it: “This criminal system has taken our future hostage for 47 years. It won’t be changed with reform or with false promises.”

抗议活动于周日开始，最初是由那些依赖进口电子产品的商户发起的，他们发现现在很少有人买得起这些商品。但抗议活动迅速蔓延--就像2017年、2019年和2022年的前几轮抗议一样--蔓延到哈马丹、伊斯法罕和洛雷斯坦等省份的城市，并吸引了学生、退休人员和Z世代的加入。与此前的示威浪潮一样，抗议活动迅速获得了政治色彩。抗议者高呼“独裁者去死”，矛头直指八旬高龄的最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊，自1989年执掌最高权力以来，他缺乏问责。正如德黑兰贝赫什提大学学生宣读的一份声明所说：“这个犯罪体制已经绑架我们未来长达47年。它不会因改革或虚假承诺而改变。”
