這里是美國之音慢速英語教育報道。

The reported rape of a six-year-old student at a well known school in Jakarta has received widespread media attention in Indonesia. The costly Jakarta International School, or JSI serves many children of diplomats and wealthy foreign families.

雅加達一所知名學校一位六歲學生的強奸案報道獲得了印尼媒體的廣泛關注。學費昂貴的雅加達國際學校(簡稱JSI)招收了許多外交官和富有外國家庭的孩子。

Indonesian police have arrested several suspects in connection with the incident reported in early April. Similar reports of sexual abuse at the school have followed.

印尼警方已經(jīng)逮捕了和四月份報道的事件有關的一些嫌疑人。該校類似的性侵犯報道接踵而至。

Recently, another kindergarten student also said he was abused at the school. The education ministry ordered the school's kindergarten closed, the ministry said the kindergarten have been operating without permission.

近日，另一位幼兒園學生也表示他在該校被侵犯。印尼教育部下令關閉這所學校的幼兒園，并表示該幼兒園一直“無證經(jīng)營”。

Years ago, American investigators named a former JSI teacher as one of the worst child sex offenders they have ever identified. American William James Vahey worked at the school from 1992 until 2002. He killed himself last month after U.S. Federal investigators seize some of the man's computer records. This evidence included 90 photographs of boys he reportedly abused.

幾年前，美國調(diào)查人員將一位前雅加達國際學校教師稱之為他們曾經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的最為嚴重的兒童性侵犯者之一。美國人威廉·詹姆斯·韋希(William James Vahey)于1992到2002年期間在該學校任教。上月他在聯(lián)邦調(diào)查人員起獲一些他的電腦記錄后自殺。這些證據(jù)包括90張據(jù)說他曾經(jīng)性侵的男孩的照片。

Tim Carr heads the Jakarta International School. He described the recent incident at the school as an unimaginable tragedy. He said the school is taking all measures to prevent another.

蒂姆·卡爾(Tim Carr)負責雅加達國際學校。他稱該校最近發(fā)生的事件是一起無法想像的悲劇。他說，學校正在采取一切措施預防此類事件再次發(fā)生。

"We have been cooperating very closely with the police as well, to make sure that the perpetrators are found and justice is done. We also have been focusing resolutely on the safety and security of our campus to make sure that we have done everything possible to make sure this horrendous event never occurs again," said Carr.

卡爾說，“我們一直在努力配合警方，以確保犯罪者被抓，正義得到伸張。我們也一直全力關注校園的安全和保障，以確保我們所做的一切能夠確保這一可怕的事件不再發(fā)生。”

Indonesian media reports about sex abuse cases often, but the cases rarely get such widespread attention. In the last week of April, a police officer was accused of raping five children in Aceh province. And a father in Medan province faces charges of raping his baby daughter.

印尼媒體常常報道性侵犯案件，但這些案件很少獲得如此廣泛的關注。四月的最后一周，亞齊省的一位警察被指控侵犯五名兒童。而棉蘭省的一位父親面臨強奸自己年幼女兒的指控。

The number of reported rapes is increasing inIndonesia. But child psychologist Seto Mulyadi says many more sexual violations happened than are reported.

印尼的強奸案報道數(shù)量不斷提升。但兒童心理學家塞多·慕亞迪(Seto Mulyadi)表示，印尼發(fā)生的性侵犯案件遠遠高于所報道的。

Last year, the Indonesian Child Protection Commission declared child rape a "national emergency," but it said, it does not have dependable numbers on rape. The commission says, without these numbers, it is hard to know the true extent of child sexual abuse.

去年，印尼兒童保護委員會稱強奸兒童是一種“國家緊急狀態(tài)”。但該委員會表示自己并沒有強奸案的可靠數(shù)字。而沒有這些數(shù)字，就很難知悉兒童性虐待的真實程度。

Victims are often afraid to talk about sexual attacks, they fear it will dishonor their families. A large part of Indonesian society considers it offensive to talk of sex and sexual abuse.

受害者們往往害怕談及性侵犯。他們擔心這會讓家門受辱。印尼社會中的很大一部分人都認為討論性和性虐待是唐突無禮的。
