“性骚扰”怎么说

美国一份调查显示，男性在工作场所遭遇性骚扰的案例再创新高。根据EEOC的统计，2006年度，男性投诉遭性骚扰的比例占这类总投诉案件的15.4%，其中骚扰者通常都是男性。

请看外电相关报道：A record number of men reported being sexually harassed in the workplace last year, according to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Newly released data from the EEOC showed that 15.4 percent of the 12,025 charges of sexual harassment in fiscal year 2006 were filed by men, as opposed to 11.6 percent a decade earlier.

报道中的“sexual harassment”就是“性骚扰”。注意啦，根据“韦氏字典”，“sexual harassment”指的是“uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct directed at a person because of his or her sex”（对男性或女性实施不受欢迎的性行为，包括身体接触或言语挑逗）。由此，如新闻所示，“性骚扰”的受害者不仅仅是女性，同时也包括男性。

在用法上，如果想强调某一案例是“男性对男性实施性骚扰”，可表达为“male-on-male sexual harassment”。反之，“性骚扰”可依据具体情况表达为“(female-on-female/male-on-female/female-on-male) sexual harassment”或者“sexual harassment against male/female”。

此外，“性骚扰”若做动词，常用被动语态“to be sexually harassed”。

看下面一个例句：There have been some cases of sexual harassment against women in this office.（这个办公室里曾发生过女性遭遇性骚扰的案例。）
