家暴

(jiābào) 

A: The subject of domestic violence has been appearing rather frequently online lately. 

家暴这个话题最近在网上出现的频率很高。

(jiābào zhèɡè huàtí zuìjìn zài wǎnɡshànɡ chūxiàn de pínlǜ hěnɡāo.) 

B: Yup, female victims are making accusations of domestic violence. There are also women who were subjected to domestic violence for years that ended up forgiving their husbands after divorcing them and the two possibly end up back together. 

对,有女性受害人控诉受到了家暴。还有遭受家暴多年的女性离婚后又选择了原谅丈夫,两个人可能已经复婚了。

(duì, yǒu nǚxìnɡ shòuhàirén kònɡsù shòudào le jiābào. háiyǒu zāoshòu jiābào duōnián de nǚxìnɡ líhūn hòu yòu xuǎnzé le yuánliànɡ zhànɡfū, liǎnɡɡèrén kěnénɡ yǐjīnɡ fùhūn le.)

A: Choose to forgive them? But haven't they heard the saying "It is easier to change the mountains and rivers than it is human nature?" Who can say whether they won't hit their wives again?

选择原谅？可是没听过那句话,"江山易改,本性难移"吗？谁能保证他们以后不会再动手呢？

(xuǎnzé yuánliànɡ? kěshì méitīnɡɡuò nàjùhuà, "jiānɡshān yìɡǎi, běnxìnɡ nányí" ma? shuínénɡ bǎozhènɡ tāmén yǐhòu bùhuì zài dònɡshǒu ne?)
