Danny也分享了一些性罪行的英語講法:
- indecent assault 非禮
- statutory rape / intercourse with minors 強姦未成年人士
- voyeurism 偷窺
► voyeur/peeping Tom 偷窺狂
稱偷窺者為peeping Tom,可能對芸芸叫Tom的朋友們不公平,但約定俗成,把偷窺狂都叫 peeping Tom,情況有如我們說「阿茂阿壽」或者「陳大文」一樣,並沒針對何人的意思啊!
- indecent exposure 露體
- flasher/exhibitionist 露體狂
speak out 挺身而出
例子:Many female victims are afraid to speak out and their cases are hidden. The reported number is only the tip of the iceberg(冰山一角).
zero-tolerance 零容忍
例子:The government will continue its zero-tolerance attitude on sexual offences.
說起性罪行,Crystal 和 Danny不約而同表示,大家都該互相守望,採取「零容忍」的態度,讓所有人免於性暴力的侵害。Tolerance是名詞,解「容忍」,也可變化為形容詞 tolerant 及動詞 tolerate。

tolerant
(adjective 形容詞)
例子:Luckily, my parents were tolerant of my choice of music.
tolerate (= to stand, bear, put up with)
