威胁

新加坡的Kawshigan先生企图追求Tan女士，而女方却只把他当作朋友。

Mr. K. Kawshigan wanted a romantic relationship with Ms Nora Tan; while she saw him only as a friend.

• romantic relationship 恋爱关系

突然被告白的Tan女士随即提出，两人需要保持距离，希望他能够自持，他的追求已经令她感到不适。

She emphasized the need for boundaries and urged him to be “self-reliant”. She told him in a text message that her “discomfort was genuine”.

• boundary /ˈbaʊndri/ n. 界限

• self-reliant /ˌself rɪˈlaɪənt/ adj. 自恃的

• discomfort /dɪsˈkʌmfət/ n. 不适，不安

而Kawshigan却威胁她答应他的追求，不然将对她个人和职业造成不可挽回的损害。

He responded by saying she could either comply with his demands to deepen their relationship or suffer “irrevocable” damage to her personal and professional endeavors.

• comply /kəmˈplaɪ/ v. 遵从，服从

• irrevocable /ɪˈrevəkəb(ə)l/ adj. 无法挽回的

• endeavor /ɪnˈdevə(r)/ v. n. 努力 尽力

索赔

在Tan女士果断切断联系后，Kawshigan竟然将她告上法院，索赔300万。

After she cut off contact with him, he filed a lawsuit against her – a $3 million High Court claim

• cut off contact 断了联系

• lawsuit /ˈlɔːsuːt/ n. 诉讼

他声称她损害了他完美的名誉，导致他遭受了精神创伤和抑郁。

for allegedly causing “damage to his stellar reputation” and “trauma, depression and impacts” to his life

• stellar /ˈstelə(r)/ adj. 精彩的；杰出的

• reputation /ˌrepjuˈteɪʃ(ə)n/ n. 名誉，名声

• trauma /ˈtrɔːmə/ n. 心理创伤

• impact /ˈɪmpækt/ n. 冲击，巨大影响

判决

对于这种毫无根据，滥用法院程序的做法，法庭当然不予支持。

Mr Kawshigan’s claim was “manifestly groundless and without foundation” and amounted to an abuse of the court process.

• manifestly /ˈmænɪfestli/ adv. 显然地；明白地

• groundless /ˈɡraʊndləs/ adj.无根据的，莫须有的

• abuse /əˈbjuːs/ v. n. 滥用

法庭还为Tan女士加速下发了保护令，并安排律师帮她进行辩护和反诉。

Ms Tan then obtained an expedited protection order against him and engaged lawyers to file her defense and counterclaim to the suit.

• expedite /ˈekspədaɪt/ v. 加速

• defense /dɪˈfens/ v. 辩护

• counterclaim /ˈkaʊntəkleɪm/ v. n. 反诉

希望这一判决能让他对自己有一个清醒的认知，别再做个跳梁小丑了。

• perception /pəˈsepʃ(ə)n/ n. 认知

• clown /klaʊn/ n. 小丑

He lacks a basic perception of reality.

他对现实缺乏基本的认知。

We need a serious government, not a bunch of clowns.

我们需要一个严肃的政府而不是一群小丑。
