<< review queue entry 73748 - submitted by 'tubbums32' >> Again, straight from Oxford dictionary. I'd personally remove the hackles one but that's your call --------------------------------------- Editor: > "remove the hackles one" If you are suggesting that "raise people's hackles" is too mild to convey the abhorrence that 令人发指 implies, then I agree with you. But "make one's blood boil" also can apply to relatively trivial matters: - "It still makes my blood boil to think of all the time we wasted on this." - "Because I like you, Breeze, and it makes my blood boil to think of you slaving away as you do." - "It was an infuriating trait, and it made her blood boil every time he came near." 令人发指, on the other hand, tends to relate to acts of depravity, as in the examples below. As for "make one's hair stand up in anger", that was probably intended as a literal translation. But in my opinion, it's a distraction, and can be deleted. We define 指 as "(of hair) to stand on end" if users want to analyze the literal meaning of the phrase. Ex. 這不是犯罪小說或古惑仔電影。去年底，一位高爾夫球場總經理在北二高遭人以球棒、尖刀刺殺身亡。凶嫌在落網後坦承因為行車糾紛行凶，更令人髮指的是，年僅二十一歲，有吸毒紀錄的凶嫌甚至連死者是否就是與他發生超車糾紛的對象都不確定，就攔車殺人。 事實上，新聞上出現的令人髮指、惡性重大的兒虐事件，僅只是少數。大多數兒虐案件的發生，是可以「理解」，甚至「同情」的。 長達38年的戒嚴犧牲者，除了大家熟知的孫立人案、雷震案，作家如柏楊、李敖，廣播人如崔小萍，政界如余登發案、令人髮指的林義雄「林宅血案」等等，還有許許多多、大大小小的冤假錯案。 事件導火線是幾張在網上流傳的自拍影片截圖，圖中一名身著黑衣的中年女子，腳上穿著一雙尖頭高跟鞋，竟狠心地踩踏一隻活生生小貓腦袋至死，臉上還滿不在乎地掛著微笑。這種令人髮指的殘虐行為，引來網友群情激憤高聲撻伐，許多熱血憤青遂透過各種管道發出通緝令，誓言揪出該名女子的身分。 她舉例，前幾年某件大學校園性騷擾案中，男老師的動機無人深究，反倒眾人質疑的焦點放在女學生的言行舉止上，包括她為什麼常常單獨去那位男老師的研究室？為什麼一起吃飯？是不是師生戀不成，轉而誣告洩忿？甚至在凶殘而令人髮指的彭婉如案中，還是有媒體拿受害者的衣著舉止作文章，質疑她為何深夜十一點多獨自搭計程車？是不是衣著鮮豔、略帶醉態，才使歹徒見色起意，終至引發殺機？ |
