美国一份调查显示，男性在工作场所遭遇性骚扰的案例再创新高。根据EEOC的统计，2006年度，男性投诉遭性骚扰的比例占这类总投诉案件的15.4%，其中骚扰者通常都是男性。

请看外电相关报道：A record number of men reported being sexually harassed¹ in the workplace last year, according to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Newly released data from the EEOC showed that 15.4 percent of the 12,025 charges of sexual harassment² in fiscal³ year 2006 were filed by men, as opposed to 11.6 percent a decade earlier.

报道中的“sexual harassment”就是“性骚扰”。注意啦，根据“韦氏字典”，“sexual harassment”指的是“uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct directed at a person because of his or her sex”（对男性或女性实施不受欢迎的性行为，包括身体接触或言语挑逗）。由此，如新闻所示，“性骚扰”的受害者不仅仅是女性，同时也包括男性。

在用法上，如果想强调某一案例是“男性对男性实施性骚扰”，可表达为“male-on-male sexual harassment”。反之，“性骚扰”可依据具体情况表达为“(female-on-female/male-on-female/female-on-male) sexual harassment”或者“sexual harassment against male/female”。

此外，“性骚扰”若做动词，常用被动语态“to be sexually harassed”。

看下面一个例句：There have been some cases of sexual harassment against women in this office.（这个办公室里曾发生过女性遭遇性骚扰的案例。）
