最近那个女模自杀的新闻闹好大哦，虽然不认识她，但看了新闻还是好难过。

There was lots of coverage in the news about that model's suicide recently. Although I didn't know her, I was very sad to hear about it on the news.
对啊，好像是被网路霸凌。
duìa ，hǎoxiàng shì bèi wǎnglù bàlíng 。
Yeah, she seemed to have been bullied online.
网路霸凌？不是说是职场霸凌吗？我看到新闻说，同事一直匿名爆料，放假消息，女模最后受不了恶帖才自杀的。
wǎnglù bàlíng ？búshì shuō shì zhíchǎng bàlíng ma ？wǒ kàndào xīnwén shuō ，tóngshì yìzhí nìmíng bàoliào ，fàng jiǎ xiāoxi ，nǚmó zuìhòu shòubuliǎo ètiě cái zìshā de 。
Bullied online? Didn't they say it was bullying in the workplace? The news reports I saw said her coworkers revealed things about her anonymously and spread rumors about her. In the end the model couldn't take the negative postings anymore, so she killed herself.
哎，总而言之，都是利用网路伤害别人呀！这就叫网路霸凌。
āi ，zǒng ér yán zhī ，dōu shì lìyòng wǎnglù shānghài biérén ya ！zhè jiù jiào wǎnglù bàlíng 。
Ah, in the end, it all comes down to using the internet to inflict harm on others! That's what internet bullying is.
