每日口說挑戰【TED】巴士性侵案－舉國激憤後的反省與深思 Meera Vijayann: Find your voice against gender violence

1.No one knew what to do. And no one wanted to be responsible for it. In fact, these were a few insensitive comments that were made in the media by prominent people in response to sexual violence against women in general. 大家都不知所措，也沒人願意去擔這個責任。事實上，幾個赫赫有名的人物甚至在媒體上對於女性遭受性暴力這種現象做出了(螢幕上你們所看到的)這些冷血的回應。(ps.恐龍法官不夠看，印度有侏羅記公園)
2.【swear like a trooper狂飆髒話(英式用法)】(ps.發完神經(誤)是唸完經，睡覺去～)
