印度议员语出惊人称“享受强奸”

'If rape is inevitable, lie down and enjoy it!' Indian politician sparks outcry with sex attack comment during state assembly - as other lawmakers laugh

“如果强奸不可避免，那就躺下来享受吧！” 印度一名政客在邦议会上借性侵发表言论，引发轩然大波，其他议员哄堂大笑

An Indian politician has sparked outrage after joking about rape in parliament.

一名印度政客在议会拿强奸开玩笑，引发众怒。

Ramesh Kumar, former parliamentary speaker-turned congressional leader from southern Karnataka state, made the remark during a debate on Thursday.

来自南部卡纳塔克邦的前议会议长拉梅什·库马尔周四在一场辩论中发表了上述言论。

He made the jibe as current speaker Vishweshwar Kageri struggled to control a debate on farmer's rights, saying he was temped to sit back and let the row rage.

当发言人Vishweshwar Kageri努力控制一场关于农民权利的辩论时，他开了这个玩笑说，他习惯于袖手旁观，任由争吵继续下去。

'There is a saying: When rape is inevitable, lie down and enjoy it,' Mr Kumar replied to laugher from Mr Kageri and elsewhere in the house.

库马尔回答说：“有句话说，当强奸不可避免时，那就躺下来享受吧。”Kageri 和其他议员则哄堂大笑。

But the remark also sparked outrage among female members of the house, who accused Mr Kumar of belittling an issue that continues to plague India.

这一言论引发了女性议员的愤怒，她们指责库马尔轻视一个一直困扰印度的问题。

Poornima Srinivas, of the ruling BJP, shot back: 'When we came to the assembly, we looked up to Ramesh Kumar for his parliamentary acumen.

印度人民党议员普尔尼玛·斯里尼瓦斯回击道：“当我们来到议会时，我们钦佩拉梅什·库马尔的智慧。”

'But it looks like he has no respect for women.'

“但看起来他一点也不尊重女性。”

Roopakala M, another lawmaker, added: 'A woman who faces sexual assault suffers trauma all her life. It is wrong to use this as an analogy for something else.'

另一位议员Roopakala M补充道：“面临性侵犯的女性一生都会遭受创伤。用这个来比喻别的东西是错误的。”

Mr Kumar has since apologised for the remark on Twitter, describing it as 'indifferent and negligent'.

库马尔随后在推特上为自己的言论道歉，称之为“冷漠和疏忽”。

'My intention was not trivialise or make light of the heinous crime, but [to make] an off the cuff remark! I will choose my words carefully henceforth,' he said.

“我的意图不是轻视或贬低这一令人发指的罪行，而是即兴发表评论！从今以后，我会谨言慎行，”他说。

But he declined to make an on-camera apology while attending parliament on Friday and has refused to address the issue since.

他在周五出席议会时拒绝在镜头前道歉，并且从那以后一直拒绝提及此事。

I bet he wouldn't be laughing so much if it was him on the receiving end and I doubt he would "lie down and enjoy it".

我敢打赌，如果他是受害者，他不会笑得这么开心，我怀疑他是否会“躺下来享受”。
