秦芳老师在读了美国Reader’s Digest上一篇文章,心潮难平。文章的标题是A Rape Victim Speaks Out(强奸受害者终于开口说话)。 这是发生在美国的一个完全真实的故事。 Nancy被一歹徒强暴了,她在歹徒离开后冲入附近的Mercy Hospital Medical Center,并狂喊:I’ve just been raped!护士小姐欲打电话报瞀。此刻,令人难以相信的事情发生了! Nancy居然不同意报警: “Don’t phone the police,” Nancy begged the nurse. “I’ve seen this kind of thing on TV.” She knew that people often assume rape victims provoke the attack. Nancy不同意报警的原因是,她在电视上见过这类事,她知道,人们常认为:强奸 案受害者是自取其辱。 荒唐!十足的荒唐!秦芳老师实在无法相信在美国,那些女权主义者们,在“Miss, Mrs.”和“Chairman”这些遣词上都要为女性“鸣冤叫屈”,被强暴了的女性被认定是“自取其辱”,那些女权主义的斗士们能就此善罢甘休吗? Nancy在被强暴后竟然不敢打电话报警,在自诩all people are created equal的美国这是真的吗? 秦芳老师既气愤,又不解,既为太平洋彼岸的Nancy鸣不平,又不敢相信此事在当今之美国具有普遍性,因此,她提笔向美国教授请教。 Julie Baird的回答为我们打开了一扇窗户,让我们较为全面地认 Teacher Qin Fang was reading an article in Reader’s Digest in the United States. The title of the article is A Rape Victim Speaks Out (the rape victim finally speaks). This is a completely true story that happened in the United States. Nancy was raped by a gangster who rushed into the nearby Mercy Hospital Medical Center after the robber left and yelled: I’ve just been raped! The nurse wanted to call. At this moment, an incredible thing happened! Nancy did not agree to the police: “Don’t phone the police,” Nancy begged the nurse. “I’ve seen this kind of thing on TV.” That is why people often assume rape victims provoke the attack. Nancy disapproved of the reason for the alarm was that she had seen such a thing on television. She knew that people often think that the victim of rape is self-inflicted and insulted. It is absurd! Absolutely absurd! Teacher Qin Fang cannot believe that in the United States, those feminists who are “Miss, Mrs.” and “Chairman” must be women who “scream” and be raped. The women were found to be “self-inflicted and insulted.” Can these feminist fighters stop at it? Nancy was afraid to call the police after being raped. It was true in the United States who claimed that all people were created equal. Professor Qin Fang is angry and puzzled, not only for Nancy, who is on the other side of the Pacific, but also does not dare to believe that this matter is universal in the United States today. Therefore, she raises a pen and asks a professor in the United States. Julie Baird’s answer opened a window for us to allow us to fully recognize
