Lewis was found guilty of trafficking in drugs.
刘易斯被判贩卖毒品罪名成立。

制止暴力侵害妇女行为国际日
International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it.
暴力侵害妇女和女童行为是当今世界上最普遍、最持久和最具破坏性的侵犯人权行为之一。暴力侵害妇女和女童行为是当今世界上最普遍、最持久和最具破坏性的侵犯人权行为之一。然而，在有罪不罚、沉默、污名化和羞耻等因素的笼罩下，大多数此类暴力行为仍未得到报告。
impunity
表示“不受惩罚”，英文解释为“If you say that someone does something with impunity, you disapprove of the fact that they are not punished for doing something bad.”，举个🌰：
These gangs operate with apparent impunity.
这些犯罪团伙明火执仗，却没有受到惩罚。
stigma
表示“耻辱，羞辱，见不得人的感觉”，英文解释为“a strong feeling in society that being in a particular situation or having a particular illness is something to be ashamed of”，举个🌰：
There is a social stigma attached to single parenthood.
单身父母在社会上的名声不光彩。
The stigma of alcoholism 酗酒的恶名
In general terms, it manifests itself in physical, sexual and psychological forms, encompassing:
此类行为通常以身体、性和心理暴力的方式表现出来，包括：
-
intimate partner violence (battering, psychological abuse, marital rape, femicide);
亲密伴侣暴力（殴打、心理虐待、婚内强奸、杀害女性）；
-
sexual violence and harassment (rape, forced sexual acts, unwanted sexual advances, child sexual abuse, forced marriage, street harassment, stalking, cyber- harassment);
暴力和性骚扰（强奸、强迫性行为、不受欢迎的性挑逗、儿童性虐待、强迫婚姻、街头骚扰、跟踪、网络骚扰）；
-
human trafficking (slavery, sexual exploitation);
人口贩运（奴役、性剥削）；
-
female genital mutilation; and
切割女性生殖器；以及
-

童婚。
To further clarify, the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women issued by the UN General Assembly in 1993, defines violence against women as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.”
1993年，大会通过《消除对妇女的暴力行为宣言》，将暴力侵害妇女行为进一步明确定义为：“对妇女造成或可能造成身心方面或性方面的伤害或痛苦的任何基于性别的暴力行为，包括威胁进行这类行为、强迫或任意剥夺自由，而不论其发生在公共生活还是私人生活中。”
coercion
/kəʊ'ɜːʃ ə n/
表示“强迫；胁迫，逼迫”，英文解释为“the use of threats or orders to make someone do something they do not want to do”，举个🌰：
The defendant explained that he had been acting under coercion.
被告辩解说他是受到胁迫才那么做的。
The adverse psychological, sexual and reproductive health consequences of VAWG affect women at all stages of their life. For example, early-set educational disadvantages not only represent the primary obstacle to universal schooling and the right to education for girls; down the line they are also to blame for restricting access to higher education and even translate into limited opportunities for women in the labour market.
暴力侵害妇女和女童行为将对女性造成终身的心理、性和生殖健康的不利影响。例如，早期的教育劣势不仅是女童接受普及教育和行使受教育权的主要障碍，之后还将限制其接受更高等的教育，甚至限制妇女在劳动力市场的就业机会。
down the road/line/track
表示“将来”，实际上就是in the future，举个🌰：
Cars that drive themselves are in development now, but a marketable product is a long way down the line.
无人汽车正在开发中，但要拿出有销路的产品还有很长的路要走。
translate
translate比较熟悉的意思是“翻译”，此处表示“导致，造成，转变”，英文解释为“if one thing translates into another, the second thing happens as a result of the first”，举个🌰：
A small increase in local spending will translate into a big rise in property tax.
地方支出略微增加就会导致财产税的大幅提高。
也可以表示“意同，相当于”，英文解释为“to mean the same as something else”，举个🌰：
These rates translate into a return of 8.5% for dollar investors.
这些汇率对美元投资者来说相当于8.5%的回报。
While gender-based violence can happen to anyone, anywhere, some women and girls are particularly vulnerable - for instance, young girls and older women, women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex, migrants and refugees, indigenous women and ethnic minorities, or women and girls living with HIV and disabilities, and those living through humanitarian crises.
尽管任何人在任何地点都可能遭受性别暴力，但是某些妇女和女童尤其容易受到伤害，例如：年轻女孩和年老妇女；女同性恋、双性恋、变性者和跨性别者；移民和难民；土著妇女和少数民族；感染艾滋病毒和残疾妇女和女童；以及生活在人道主义危机中的妇女和女童。
Violence against women continues to be an obstacle to achieving equality, development, peace as well as to the fulfillment of women and girls' human rights. All in all, the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - to leave no one behind - cannot be fulfilled without putting an end to violence against women and girls.
暴力侵害妇女行为始终是实现平等、发展与和平的障碍，也是保障妇女和女童人权的障碍。总之，只要暴力侵害妇女和女童的行为不消除，可持续发展目标“不让任何一个人掉队”的承诺就无法实现。
