　　情景对话:

　　A: Hey, have you dropped in on the new neighbor who came from San Francisco?

　　B: No, I haven't. So is she a nice person?

　　A: Yes, she's quite friendly. But she's a poor woman. They say she has been under domestic violence for one year.

　　She could not put up with it anymore and escaped from her home and moved here. I even saw some bruises on her left arm.

　　B: Oh, terrible. I'm sorry to hear that. Her husband is really terrible and abnormal. So why didn't she ask for a divorce?

　　A: Maybe her husband didn't allow.

　　B: Then why didn't she call the police?

　　A: She did. They say she even sued him but he hired a good lawyer to make it go away. I think women need to be financially independent first, so we can have more time to find a right guy, or stay single.

　　B: Wow, I didn't know you are a feminist.

　　A: Not at all. Is it too much to ask for safety? I just don't want to get hurt. Plus, domestic violence will not just damage the partner's health, but also do harm to the children.

　　A: So in order to keep our family harmonious, we shouldn't resort to violence.

　　B: You bet.

　　参考译文

　　A:嘿，你去拜访来自旧金山的新邻居了吗?

　　B:还没有。她人好吗?

　　A:是的，她很友好，不过遭遇挺惨的。听说她忍受了一年的家庭暴力，后来她实在受不了，就从家里逃了出来搬来这里。我甚至都看到在她左臂上有些淤青。

　　B:噢，真是可怕。听到这个真遗憾。她的老公真是太可怕太变态了。那她为什么不要求离婚呢?

　　A:也许是她老公不同意吧。

　　B:那她为什么不报警啊?

　　A:她报了警的。听说她甚至还提出了诉讼的，但是那个男人请了个很好的律师把这个事给解决了。我觉得女人应该首先要经济独立，这样才能有更多的时间去找一个合适的人，或者要么保持单身。

　　B:哇，我还不知道你是个女权主义者呢。

　　A:没有啊。你觉得要求安全很过分吗?我只是不想受伤害.另外，家庭暴力不仅会伤害到对方的健康，还会伤害到孩子的。
