Rob: In this programme, we're talking about an expression that's appeared in the age of the internet. And it's connected to social media. So Feifei do you communicate with other people a lot on social media?
罗布：本期节目中，我们将谈论网络时代出现的一个表达方式。这个表达方式与社交媒体有关。菲菲，你经常和其他人在社交媒体上交流吗？

Feifei: Yes, I do. I love chatting with my friends and meeting new people… some people are mean though. They write very negative messages attacking others… it's nasty!
菲菲：对。我喜欢和朋友们聊天，也喜欢认识新朋友，不过有些人很不友好。他们会在网上写负面留言攻击其他人……太讨厌了！

Rob: It is. And it's something we call cyberbullying. That's a form of bullying in which people harass and harm other people online deliberately. And unlike the traditional bully, the electronic bully can remain anonymous. So we don't know who they are.
罗布：没错。我们把这种行为称为网络欺凌。这是一种欺凌行为，指人们在网络上故意骚扰和伤害其他人。与传统的欺凌事件不同，网络欺凌是匿名的。所以我们不知道是谁做的。

Feifei: Cyberbullying includes things like spreading lies and rumours online, sending or forwarding unpleasant messages via instant messaging, text or on social networks.
菲菲：网络欺凌包括在网络上散播谎言和传言，通过即时通讯服务或在社交网络上发送或转发令人不舒服的信息、短信。

Rob: Yes. It's becoming very common among teenagers these days. There are campaigns against cyberbullying and some places have adopted laws to prevent it. Let's hear examples of how this expression is used.
罗布：对。近来这种现象在年轻人中越来越普遍。现在有各种反对网络欺凌的运动，而且一些地区已经出台法律防止网络欺凌。我们来听些例句，看看这个表达方式如何使用。
