網(wǎng)絡(luò)時(shí)代 請(qǐng)保護(hù)好自己的隱私

       Steven Fink recently received an unsolicited email containing nude photos of a woman whose jilted ex-boyfriend wanted to embarrass her. The guy presumably hoped these private photos would go viral online, and now countless strangers are obliging him in his mean-spirited campaign.

　　史蒂芬?芬克(Steven Fink)最近收到一封陌生郵件，里頭有一名女子的幾張裸照，遭到這名女子拋棄的前男友想羞辱她。那個(gè)人想來(lái)是希望這些私密照片能在網(wǎng)上廣為傳播；而現(xiàn)在無(wú)數(shù)陌生人也確實(shí)在充當(dāng)幫兇，參與到他這個(gè)居心不良的行為當(dāng)中。

　　In the pre-Internet age, the dumped boyfriend may have expressed his anger by throwing darts at her photo. These days, however, the outlets for vindictiveness have multiplied almost to infinity -- and your reputation is more fragile than ever.

　　在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時(shí)代之前，男人被甩后可能會(huì)對(duì)著前女友的照片擲飛鏢，以此泄憤。但如今，發(fā)泄的途徑近乎無(wú)窮無(wú)盡──人們的名譽(yù)變得前所未有的易受攻擊。

　　All of us now live under the threat of easy and instant humiliation. It's no longer just celebrities and business executives who need to think about aggressive reputation-protection and face-saving techniques.

　　羞辱別人變得如此簡(jiǎn)便和快捷，而我們每個(gè)人都活在這種威脅之下。以前只有名人和公司高管需要考慮采取積極措施保護(hù)自己名譽(yù)，學(xué)習(xí)挽回臉面的技巧；但現(xiàn)在，這已成為一種大眾需求。
