In many ways, the case heard this week at Glasgow sheriff court was, unfortunately, not out of the ordinary(不寻常，非同寻常). It was one of thousands of domestic violence trials to have passed through the Scottish courts since new legislation was introduced in 2019 to clamp down(严厉打击，镇压) on a grimly(严峻地，令人担忧地) persistent problem.
从许多方面来看，本周在格拉斯哥郡法院审理的这起案件，不幸地并不罕见。自2019年苏格兰出台新立法以打击这一长期存在的严峻问题以来，该案只是数千起家庭暴力审判之一。
A woman had testified(作证，证明) that her former partner had waged a campaign of terror(发动恐怖运动) against her, and that she suffered abuse while she was pregnant with his child. The court heard that her partner had grabbed her by the throat, pinned(按住，钉住) her to a door, kicked her off a bed and sent her abusive(辱骂的，虐待的) texts, sometimes calling her a “fat slag(（贬）荡妇，贱人)” and a “little bitch”.
一名女子作证称，她的前伴侣对她发动了一场恐怖运动，她在怀有对方孩子期间遭受虐待。法庭获悉，她的伴侣曾掐住她的喉咙，将她按在门上，把她踢下床，并向她发送辱骂短信，有时称她为“肥婆”和“小贱人”。
What caught the eye of onlookers, however, was the identity of the man convicted.(然而，引起旁观者注意的是被定罪男子的身份。)
