家庭纠纷英语

A Quarrel with My Roommate.The other week I had a bitter quarrel with one of my roommates. Six of us live in small room about eight square meters, desperate for more space. Weeks ago, one of my roommates brought in a very large suitcase and placed it under her bed, but days later she (he) found something wrong with her (his) suitcase. As we live on the ground floor, her case soon got wet. She took it out and, after drying it up, she/he just put it on her desk because she had no other choices. I happened to be opposite her desk and her suitcase was so large that it not only occupied the whole of her desk but half of mine as well. I was very much annoyed, so I angrily pushed it forward without first talking to her about it. I pushed a bit too hard and the case fell off her desk, messing up everything it contained. On seeing this, she flew into a temper and angrily shouted at me. The quarrel started and lasted about two hours. When I calmed down days later, I thought over the quarrel and began to see something. I should have talked to her about it first and then worked with her to find a solution to the problem. Living in a room with limited space, we should learn to get on well with one another.

“家暴”的英文是：domestic violence。

家暴可以被称作：Domestic violence/domestic abuse/family violence。三种表达皆可使用。

它是指一个人在家庭环境中（例如在婚姻marriage或同居cohabitation中）针对另一人的暴力或其他虐待。所以：家暴并不仅仅限制在婚姻里面。如果是未婚同居（cohabitation）中发生的暴力行为，也可能划在“家暴”范畴。

为什么“家暴”会用到domestic这个词呢？

Domestic这个词本意就有“家用的”，“家庭的”，“居家的”意思，relating to the home.

比较常见的几个搭配，大家可以记忆一下：

domestic chores 家务；domestic appliances 家用电器；domestic cat 家猫；domestic dispute 家庭纠纷；domestic flight 国内航班（domestic也可以表示国内的，家庭使我们的小家，国家是我们的大家嘛）。
