Let me tell one story which I think kind of expresses some of this.
让我讲一个故事能够说明这个问题。
Because I think the the psychological torture is the preferred way to to torture people rather than the physical.
我认为在折磨他人时,和身体上的折磨相比人们会倾向于心理上的折磨。
The physical is more brutal but it's also more seen.
身体的折磨更残忍但是也更容易被发现和看到。
And it also they find that it's not even very affective in getting information,
而且他们也发现这也不是获得情报的有效方法在心理折磨下不对,
that under the psychological under the physical torture people will say anything to stop it.
是在肉体折磨下人们为了不受折磨会口不择言。
They try to use the psychological torture to break their will, break their will to resist.
因此人们会使用心理折磨来摧毁他们的意志,摧毁他们想要抵抗的意志

Um, so the psychological are considered the soft, the lighter torture but in some ways are the more powerful and the more profound
心理折磨被认为更加柔软更轻,但是从某种程度来说却更有力量,影响后果更加深远
and they have more lasting effects as I'll try to illustrate,
