波士顿惨案 (Boston
Massacre)
1770年3月5日
英国士兵开始射击后，第一个被射中的是一个叫做克利斯普司．阿图卡斯 (Crispus
Attucks) 的非裔美国水手。虽然我们不太清楚他的过去，不过阿图卡斯大概是在1750年左右脱离奴隶身份，接下来的20年内，他都在补鲸船上工作。在波士顿惨案中丧生的四个人里，阿图卡斯是唯一个广为人知的受害者，他也因此成为美国独立战争中的第一个英雄。
The first person who was hit when the British soldiers began firing was an African American sailor named Crispus Attucks. Although not much is known about his past, it's likely that Attucks escaped slavery around 1750 and worked on whaling ships for the next 20 years. Of the four civilians who died in the Boston Massacre, Attucks is the only one who became widely known, and he became the first hero of the American Revolution.
