- 1騷擾(性騷擾、職場騷擾都用這個詞)
Harassment is when someone behaves in an unpleasant or threatening way towards you — often again and again, or in a place you cannot easily leave, like work or school. It can happen in the street or online too. The word is fairly formal, and it is also a legal word: companies write rules against it, and the news uses it. Sexual harassment is the kind many people think of first, though actually the word is wider. It can cover repeated insults, threats, unwanted messages, and other contact that makes you feel unsafe. One rude comment may be ; harassment usually means the behaviour keeps happening, or it is serious enough that you cannot just walk away.
組成Borrowed from Middle French harassement. By the look of the English word, harass + -ment: -ment turns the action into a noun.
