A Nanjing women’s rights organisation has helped bring to light the extent of domestic violence in China, through the publication of a white paper on the prevention and suppression of domestic violence.
南京的一个妇女权利组织通过出版一份关于预防和制止家庭暴力的白皮书，帮助揭示了中国家庭暴力的程度。
The conclusion, long suspected, but rarely confirmed in actual statistics, reveals that almost 30 percent of families in China endure problems with domestic violence.
这一结论长期被怀疑，但在实际统计数据中很少得到证实，它显示，中国近30%的家庭遭受家庭暴力问题。
The numbers have been brought into the public domain after the Nanjing Women’s Federation revealed the efforts of the Nanjing Police at tackling the problem. From January to October of this year, Nanjing’s police solved 2,772 domestic violence cases and issued 151 warnings against abusers.
在南京妇联披露南京警方为解决这个问题所做的努力后，这些数字被纳入了公有领域。 从今年1月到10月，南京警方破获了2772起家庭暴力案件，并对施虐者发出了151起警告。
The white paper also specified the instances in which the police may issue written warnings to abusers, namely upon their refusal to stop the abuse after the police’s intervention.
白皮书还具体说明了警方可以向施虐者发出书面警告的情况，即在警察干预后他们拒绝停止施虐。
While it is encouraging that the Nanjing Police have taken the lead in tackling the issue, the white paper makes no mention of action that the police can take in cases where warnings are continually ignored by abusers. Neither has it been reported as to what constitutes “solving” a domestic violence case.
虽然南京警方带头解决这个问题令人鼓舞，但白皮书没有提到警察在虐待者不断无视警告的情况下可以采取的行动。 也没有报道什么是“解决”家庭暴力案件。
Such are indications that the issue of domestic violence in China is somewhat taboo.
這表明，中國的家庭暴力問題有些是禁忌。
The Nanjinger can confirm that the revealing of statistics as to the extent of domestic violence is extremely rare, yet there is no shortage of circumstantial evidence.
《南京人》可以证实，披露家庭暴力程度的统计数据极为罕见，但并不缺乏间接证据。
One foreign reader anonymously told this publication that upon marrying a local girl, her mother voiced her concerns, asking, “But what about when he beats you?”
一位外国读者匿名告诉本出版物，在娶了一位当地女孩后，她的母亲表达了她的担忧，问道：“但他打你的时候呢？”
There are 270 million families in China. The All-China Women’s Federation has estimated that 100,000 families fall apart each year on account of physical abuse at home.
中国有2.7亿个家庭。 据全国妇女联合会估计，每年有10万个家庭因家庭遭受身体虐待而分崩离析。
The website helpguide.org points out that domestic violence and abuse does not discriminate, occurring within all age ranges, ethnic backgrounds, economic levels, heterosexual relationships and in same-sex partnerships. While women are more often the victims, so too do men experience abuse, largely of the verbal and emotional variety.
Helpguide.org网站指出，家庭暴力和虐待不具有歧视性，在所有年龄范围、种族背景、經濟水平、異性戀關係和同性伴侣关系中都存在。 虽然女性更经常是受害者，但男性也遭受虐待，主要是言语和情感上的。
