家园 商榷

rape作为名词的意思有好几个:

1. the unlawful compelling of a woman through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse.

2. any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person.

3. sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of consent, which age varies in different states.

4. an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

5. Archaic. the act of seizing and carrying off by force.

-----------------

在 Nanking Rape 或 The Rape of Nanking中,我觉得rape是第4种意思,或至少兼有第4种意思。
