English term or phrase: Unwelcome sexual advances
Unwelcome sexual advances
Zhijun JIANG
Local time: 15:40
性冒犯
Explanation:
台灣曾有一個廣告短片，描述一位年輕小伙子在車上和一位年輕小姑娘看對眼，一時眉來眼去，仍然守禮，但車子晃動時，男生往前一撲撞著了姑娘的乳房，男的說："對不起！弄痛了你嗎？" 女的說："沒關係，很舒服。" --- 這是 welcome sexual advances。

如果不是這種情況，那就是 "冒犯"：unwelcome sexual advances。情節輕微、還不至於讓人大為光火的叫 "吃豆腐"，情節嚴重的叫 "性侵犯"。

從 "吃豆腐" 還不到 "性侵犯" 程度的，統稱 "性騷擾"。

agree  Wenjer Leuschel (X): 性骚扰 = sexual harassment / Right, "sexual advance" = "性示好"./ Well, the problem lies in the perception of "示好."
