Demonstrators against the cuts include public sector workers, pensioners and students [AFP]
示威者中包括公务员、退休人士和学生。
Tens of thousands of people have rallied in London, the British capital, in opposition to public spending cuts introduced by the country's coalition government.
There were outbreaks of violence amid Saturday's demonstration as several hundred masked protesters clashed with police and rampaged down London's main shopping district.
About 4,500 police officers were deployed ahead of the protest.
Away from the main protest, a group of black-clad protesters threw paint bombs at shops and banks on the main shopping streets of Oxford Street and New Bond Street.
Police said that some protesters also threw paint bombs and light bulbs filled with ammonia at officers during the demonstration.
Several banks were attacked and the Fortnum and Mason department store was briefly occupied.
UK Uncut, a group that campaigns against government cuts and corporate tax avoidance, claimed it was behind the occupation.
Five policemen were injured during the protests. Police arrested 157 people.
成千上万人涌上了英国首都伦敦的街头，抗议联合政府采取的大幅削减公共开支的措施。
发生在周六的这场示威行走中不乏暴力色彩，数百名蒙面抗议者与警察发生冲突，并在伦敦主要商业购物区横冲直撞。
大约有4500名警察在示威队伍前方严阵以待。
其中有一股全身黑衣的抗议者脱离行走大部队，冲入牛津街和新邦德街的主要购物区，向商店和银行投掷彩弹。
警察说，示威行走期间，有部分抗议者还拿彩弹和装满氨的灯泡砸向警官。
一些银行被袭击，福特纳姆-梅森百货公司也难以幸免被短时间占领。
英国反削减会（一个主要是为了抗议政府削减和公司逃税而成立的组织）声称，这并非占领。
抗议冲突中有五位警察受伤，而警方则抓捕了157人。
'Serious message'
“严肃的信息”
But the main demonstration, billed as the "March for the Alternative", went peacefully with families and their children among the protesters.
Steel bands, choirs and dancers also joined the march, giving a carnival atmosphere to the demonstration.
Tim Friend, Al Jazeera's correspondent at the march, said: "It's all good fun for many people here but there is a serious message as well, which the government will be watching very carefully.
"There are 'unsung heroes' here, from communities across Britain who have come down to London.
"The closure of their projects [due to cuts] for their local communities might not get much publicity, but for the people who use those services it will be absolutely devastating."
Many protesters carried banners reading "Don't Break Britain", "No to Cuts" and "Defend Our Public Services", while others blew vuvuzelas, the plastic trumpets made famous during the South African football World Cup.
Organisers had claimed earlier that the demonstration could be the biggest rally in the capital since mass protests against the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
但是这支被称为“另选行走”的主流队伍还是相当和平的，抗议人群中有不少家庭带着他们的孩子。
钢鼓乐队、合唱队以及舞蹈演员也都加入到行走中来了，给这个示威队伍里带来了一种类似嘉年华会的狂欢气氛。
行走队伍中有一名半岛电视台的新闻记者Tim Friend，他说：“这边的众人都充满了玩乐气氛，而同时那边却正传递着一个严肃的信息，政府肯定正在谨慎观望。”
“从英国各地社区来伦敦的人群里有不少‘无名英雄’。”
“他们那些项目的（由于预算裁减而）关闭对于当地社区可能没有引起太多的关注，不过对于使用那些服务的人们而言却是非常严重的。”
很多抗议者高举写有“不要搞垮英国”，“向裁减说‘不’”，“保护我们的公共服务”等标语，此外，还有一些人吹起了呜呜祖拉，这个塑料喇叭在南非世界杯期间可是抢尽了风头。
组织者早前曾声称，这次的行走将成为继2003年伊拉克大规模反战行走后在首都举行的最大规模的一次示威活动。
Political protest
政治抗议
The demonstrations were called over cuts to public spending, rising unemployment, tax rises and pension reforms imposed by the government after it came to power in May.
The Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition has announced plans for cuts worth £81bn ($131bn) over five years in order to slash a record public deficit that the party's blames on the previous Labour administration.
The cuts involve most government departments, with the loss of 300,000 public service jobs and pay freezes for civil servants.
The Liberal Democrats have faced public criticism for supporting the austerity measures, especially the hike in university fees which it had opposed before it came to power.
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, spoke at the rally, likening the protest to the suffragette movement in Britain and the civil rights movement in America.
"Our causes may be different but we come together to realise our voice. We stand on the shoulders of those who have marched and have struggled in the past," he told protesters gathered in London's Hyde Park.
The UK march is the latest protest against austerity measures to take place in Europe where governments are struggling to bring down record deficits following bailouts and bank nationalisations in the wake of the financial crisis.
示威者们抗议的内容包括大幅削减的公共开支、不断上升的失业率、增加的税收以及养老金改革，而这些都是由去年五月上台的政府强加执行的。
由保守党和自民党组成的联合政府发表裁减开支预算案，在未来五年内共削减810亿英镑（约合1310亿美元）。此举意在解决此前工党政府遗留下来的被广为诟病的庞大赤字。
此次大裁减包含了政府的绝大多数部门，将会有30万公务员职务被裁减，公务员工资被冻结。
自民党面临着来自公众关于支持财政紧缩政策的指责，尤其是在该政党未上台前便遭驳斥的提高大学学费的问题。
工党领袖艾德•米利班德对集会人群表示，在英国开展的妇女参政运动就如同当年美国的人权运动。
“我们的原因可能有所不同，不过都是为了能让自己的声音被传达出去。我们站在那些曾经通过行走和斗争而努力奋斗的前辈们的肩膀之上。”他在伦敦海德公园向集会的人群发表演讲。
此次的英国行走是发生在欧洲的最新一次抗议政府财政紧缩措施的行动。随着金融危机引发的种种紧急财政援助和国有银行融资，欧洲各国政府不得不竭力展开灭赤行动。
