China's Large-Scale Arrest of Female 'Boys' Love' Novelists
zuì jìn最近 ，zhōng guó中国jǐng fāng警方zài在quán guó全国fàn wéi范围nèi内zhuā bǔ抓捕le了hěn很duō多xiě写 “dān měi耽美 ”xiǎo shuō小说de的nǚ女zuò jiā作家 。
Recently, Chinese police have arrested many female writers of 'Boys' Love' novels across the country.
zhè xiē这些zuò jiā作家dà duō大多shì是èr shí二十dào到sān shí三十suì岁de的nián qīng年轻nǚ xìng女性 。
Most of these writers are young women between twenty and thirty years old.
tā men她们zài在yí gè一个jiào叫 “hǎi táng wén xué chéng海棠文学城 ”de的wǎng zhàn网站shàng上fā biǎo发表zuò pǐn作品 ，zhè gè这个wǎng zhàn网站zhǔ yào主要yǒu有guān yú关于nán shēng男生zhī jiān之间ài qíng爱情de的gù shì故事 。
They publish their works on a website called 'Haitang Literature City,' which mainly features stories about love between boys.
yīn wèi因为zhōng guó中国duì对wǎng luò网络nèi róng内容yǒu有yán gé严格de的guī dìng规定 ，hěn很duō多xiě zuò写作hé和yuè dú阅读zhè xiē这些xiǎo shuō小说de的rén人xū yào需要yòng用tè shū特殊fāng fǎ方法cái néng才能fǎng wèn访问wǎng zhàn网站 。
Because China has strict regulations on online content, many people who write and read these novels need special methods to access the website.
jǐng fāng警方rèn wéi认为zhè xiē这些xiǎo shuō小说yǒu有bù liáng不良nèi róng内容 ，suǒ yǐ所以duì对zuò jiā作家jìn xíng进行le了chǔ fá处罚 。
The police believe these novels contain inappropriate content, so they have punished the writers.
yǒu xiē有些zuò jiā作家yīn wèi因为zhuàn赚de的qián钱bù不duō多 ，zhǐ只bèi被pàn判le了huǎn xíng缓刑 ，dàn但yǒu xiē有些yǒu有hěn很duō多dú zhě读者de的zuò jiā作家bèi被pàn判le了jǐ nián几年shèn zhì甚至gèng更zhǎng长shí jiān时间de的jiān jìn监禁 。
Some writers received suspended sentences because they did not earn much money, but others with many readers were sentenced to several years or even longer in prison.
yǒu有de的xué shēng学生zuò jiā作家shèn zhì甚至yīn cǐ因此shī qù失去le了jì xù继续dú读yán jiū shēng研究生de的jī huì机会 。
Some student writers even lost the opportunity to continue graduate studies because of this.
hěn很duō多rén人jué de觉得zhè yàng这样de的chǔ fá处罚tài太zhòng重le了 ，yě也yǒu rén有人rèn wéi认为zhè xiē这些xiǎo shuō小说zhǐ shì只是nián qīng年轻nǚ xìng女性biǎo dá表达zì jǐ自己xiǎng fǎ想法de的yī zhǒng一种fāng shì方式 。
Many people think the punishments are too harsh, while others believe these novels are just a way for young women to express their thoughts.
xiàn zài现在 ， “hǎi táng wén xué chéng海棠文学城 ”yǐ jīng已经zàn tíng暂停fú wù服务 ，hěn很duō多zuò jiā作家hé和dú zhě读者dōu都gǎn dào感到hěn很nán guò难过hé和bù ān不安 。
Now, 'Haitang Literature City' has suspended its service, and many writers and readers feel sad and uneasy.
