新西兰先驱报中文网 Sara 编译 今早看到Otago Daily Times这条新闻时，已经摇摇欲坠的三观真的立刻碎成渣……颤颤巍巍的把选题报给主编，居然还被批了……这条新闻都是主编要我写的，和我无关！
赵忠祥老师有一句名言：“世界之大，无奇不有”。好吧，这句名言是我随便编的，但动物世界固然可以无奇不有，人和其他动物的区别，不就在那么一点点理性吗！
Dunedin father and daughter sentenced over incest
丹尼丁父女因乱伦被判刑
Sentence：判决；判刑
Incest：乱伦；血亲相奸
A Dunedin father and daughter have been ordered to stay away from each other for two years after being sentenced for incest for the second time.
新西兰丹尼丁一对父女在第二次因乱伦被宣判后，被法庭命令远离彼此两年时间。
The pair - aged 37 and 23 - were last year convicted of incest for the second time after the discovery of the pair's second child.
去年，在警察发现了这对父女的第二个孩子后，当时37岁的父亲和23岁的女儿第二次因乱伦被定罪。
Convict：定罪；宣判…有罪
At this morning's sentencing, the father was sentenced to six months community detention and two years' intensive supervision. The daughter was sentenced to two years of intensive supervision.
今天上午（1月25日），法庭宣判。父亲被判6个月社区监禁和2年加强监管。女儿被判2年加强监管。
community detention：社区监禁
intensive supervision：加强监管
Judge Kevin Phillips said it was "very serious repeat offending which strikes at the heart of what the community would consider right and proper conduct".
法官Kevin Phillips认为，这种“非常严重的重复犯罪，是对社会公认的正确、适当行为的打击”。
Strike：罢工；击；攻击；打
Conduct：举止；管理方法
The offending came to light after police attended a domestic disturbance at the pair's home in 2013 and found an infant at the residence which they suspected was fathered by the defendant.
2013年，警方去被告家中处理一件家庭纠纷事件时，发现了一个婴儿，他们怀疑婴儿的父亲是男被告。

domestic disturbance：家庭纠纷，家庭暴力事件
defendant：被告
The pair had troubled upbringings which featured sexual and physical abuse.
这对被告成长过程都遭受过性虐待和身体虐待。
Feature：以…为特色；是…的特征；起重要作用；占重要地位
Upbringing：抚养；教育；家教
The daughter was born after the man entered into a sexual relationship with his foster mother when he was only 13 and she was 30.
被告在13岁时和当时30岁的养母发生关系，生下了现在的女儿。
foster mother：养母
He had little to do with his daughter during her upbringing, but a sexual relationship between them started shortly after they were reunited in 2010. She was 16 at the time.
他没有养育女儿，却在她16岁时和她发生了性关系。
新闻妹总结了一下，被告和养母 “乱伦”生下了自己的女儿，又和女儿乱伦生了两个孩子……两个人生了四代人！
但究其根源，可恨之人也必有可怜之处，13岁的孩子天生就是坏人吗？他也遭受过虐待，他的父母又该承担什么样的责任？
