(单词翻译:单击)

The allegations have helped turn the spotlight1 once again onto domestic violence, a problem that experts at the All-China Women's Federation2 say is "universal".

李阳被指家暴事件再次将公众关注的目光引向家庭暴力这个话题,全国妇联的专家一致认为家暴是“全球性”的问题。

“家庭暴力”可以说是当前社会的热门词汇。由报道可知,“家庭暴力”的地道说法是“domestic violence”,也可称作“family violence”或者domestic abuse。Domestic指的是“家务的、与家庭有关”,如:domestic chores(家务活);domestic joys(家庭乐趣)。

另外,domestic也常用来形容“国内的、驯养的”,如:domestic wine(国产酒);domestic cat(家猫)。

看个例句:One of the greatest challenges facing the domestic violence movement is the widespread perception that spousal abuse is a "private matter".(人们普遍认为伴侣间施虐是“个人私事”,由此大大阻碍了反家庭暴力运动的开展。)
