Six men have been arrested and two police officers have been suspended following the 16 December attack. The victim and her friend had been to see a film when they boarded the bus in the Munirka area of Delhi on the day of the attack, intending to travel to Dwarka in the south-west of the city. Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, and both she and her companion were beaten with iron bars and thrown out of the moving bus and into the street.

The woman's case has sparked public debate as well as several days of protests across India, including a violent public protests in India that left one police officer dead.
这名女子的受害案件,已经在整个印度范围内激起了公众的辩论和长达数天的抗议,其中一起公众暴力抗议造成一名警员死亡。
As news of the student's death spread across social media in India, police sealed off large parts of central Delhi and appealed for calm. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder tweeted that the centre of Delhi resembled a fortress, with armed police and riot troops maintaining a heavy presence.
这名女学生死亡的消息在印度的社交媒体上广泛传播后,警方封锁了德里中心的大部分区域,要求公众保持冷静。BBC驻印度的员工Sanjoy Majumder在推特上发布状态,称德里市中心就像是一个要塞,大量武装警察和防暴警察在外维持秩序。
The government has tried to halt rising public anger by announcing a series of measures intended to make Delhi safer for women. These include more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants, and the banning of buses with tinted windows or curtains.
政府试图平息不断加剧的公众的愤怒,宣布要采取一系列措施让德里变得对女性来说更加安全,相关措施包括增加警察夜间巡逻,核实公交车司机和助手的身份,禁止公交车镶有彩色玻璃窗或挂有窗帘。
It has set up two committees - one looking into speeding up trials of cases involving sexual assaults on women, and the other to examine the lapses that might have led to the incident in Delhi.
同时政府也成立了两个委员会,其中一个委员会旨在加速和妇女性侵犯有关的案件的审理,另一个则负责分析造成德里这起案件的过失出在哪里。
The government has also said that it will post the photos, names and addresses of convicted rapists on official websites to shame them. But the protesters say the government's pledge to seek life sentences for the attackers is not enough - many are calling for the death penalty.
政府部门说,他们会将强奸犯的照片、姓名和住址发布到官方网站上。但是抗议者说,政府之前承诺判处袭击者有期徒刑,这并不能惩罚他们。很多抗议者要求政府对袭击者判处死刑。
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was "very saddened" and promised to channel "emotions and energies" into a course of action.
印度总理曼莫汉·辛格说,他对这起事件感到“非常痛心”,并且承诺要引导公众的“情绪和力量”转变成实际行动。
Since the Delhi incident, several cases have been highlighted of authorities failing to respond to reported rapes. On Wednesday, a woman committed suicide in the state of Punjab, after having tried to report to police a rape which allegedly took place last month, local media reports said.
自德里的这起事件大声以来,印度各地发生了多起类似的案件,反映出政府无法对出现的强奸案作出回应。当地媒体报道称,周三一名妇女在印度的旁遮普州自杀,她自杀之前曾向警方报告称在上个月被人强奸,但警方并未及时处理。
