Mariam 的孩子流掉了以后，Rasheed 对她的态度发生了急剧变化，从对她的漠视转变为家暴，甚至视她为负担，虽然后来的四年里他们又有过7个孩子，都没有留住。Mariam 整日生活在提心吊胆中，尽管她极力满足Rasheed 的要求，但依然免不了他的折磨和殴打以及精神上的侮辱。竟然因为一次他以为饭煮不好吃，而强迫Mariam吃砂石。一个男人的心该有多狠,对自己的妻子都可以如此。以现在的我看来，觉得完全无法忍受。今天大致浏览了第二性，仿佛从过至今，男人都觉得女人不如他们，是他们的附属物。
1.It isn't easy tolerating him talking this way to her ,to bear his scorn,his redicule,his insults ,his walking past like she was nothing but a house cat.
2.And Mariam was afraid.She lived in fear of his shifting moods, his volatile temperament ,his insistences on steering even mundane exchanges down a confrontational path that ,on occassion,he would resolve with punches,slaps,kicks,and sometimes try to make amends for with polluted apologies and sometimes not.
