Advanced Chinese News Reading Practice – Advanced Chinese Newspaper VocabularyThis news story covers a new government initiative to help protect women from sexual harassment by providing special women-o<\/em>nly taxis in the capital city Kuala Lumpur.
Here, as usual, we see the two news words that you see in just a<\/em>bout every article, \u636e jù, meaning “according to”, as in “According to reports…”, and also \u79f0 ch\u0113ng, meaning “to state”, as in “Our sources state…” or “The Prime Minister stated today that…”. I know I keep harping on \u79f0 every time the word comes up in a news post, but I can’t stress stro<\/em>ngly enough how often you’ll see this word in the newspaper – it’s in just a<\/em>bout every article, and o<\/em>nce you know what it means, news reading becomes that much clearer. This is news-specific language, so you’ll also hear radio and TV news anchors say it a lot, but you won’t often see or hear it elsewher.

In Malaysia, women often become the victims of robberies, sexual harassment and other violent acts. According to a November 30 French media report, in order to better protect women from violence, last weekend the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur released 50 “women’s taxis” which will o<\/em>nly transport women.
The top of the windshields of these taxis show a sign reading “women’s taxi”, and the drivers are also women. the project is a cooperation between several of Kuala Lumpur’s taxi companies and the project initiator, Malaysia’s Department of Women, Family and Community Development, who said that they hope to increase the number of “women’s taxi’s” to 400.
This has received a warm welcome from the local women. “This act is of course very good, we can feel safer getting into a taxi,” said 26-year-old office worker Na Xi Er (proper name). However, some female taxi drivers worry a<\/em>bout the loss of male customers, and some people are co<\/em>ncerned that because of what the “women’s o<\/em>nly taxis” symbolize, the female drivers will become the target of attacks.
Before this, Malaysia has already released pink women-o<\/em>nly train carriages, as well as buses that o<\/em>nly carry women, in order to [help women] avoid suffering harm from sexual harassment. Besides Malaysia, Mexico, Egypt, Iran and other countries have already unveiled women-o<\/em>nly taxis.
