为了便于听写，gonna一律写成原型going to的形式。Despite what had happened, I was sure we were going to live happily ever after, because I loved him, and he loved me so much. And he was very, very sorry. He had just been really stressed out by the wedding and by becoming a family with me. It was an isolated incident, and he was never going to hurt me again.
It happened twice more on the honeymoon. The first time, I was driving to find a secret beach and I got lost, and he punched me in the side of my head so hard that the other side of my head repeatedly hit the driver's side window. And then a few days later, driving home from our honeymoon, he got frustrated by traffic, and he threw a cold Big Mac in my face. Conor proceeded to beat me once or twice a week for the next two and a half years of our marriage.
I was mistaken in thinking that I was unique and alone in this situation. One in three American women experiences domestic violence or stalking at some point in her life, and the CDC reports that 15 million children are abused every year, 15 million. So actually, I was in very good company.尽管发生了那样的事，我还是相信我们从此以后会过上幸福的生活，因为我们如此地相爱。他表现出深深的歉意。他只是因为婚礼以及与我成为一家人而变得焦虑不安。这是个别事件，而他以后再不会伤害我。
类似的事情在蜜月期间又发生了两次。第一次，我正开车去找一个秘密沙滩，而我迷路了。他猛打我的头，打得如此用力，以至于我的头的另一侧不断地撞到驾驶座车门的玻璃上。紧接着，几天后，度完蜜月开车回家的路上，他被路上的交通弄得很懊恼，就把一个冰冷的巨无霸砸到我的脸上。在接下来两年半的婚姻生活里，Conor每周都打我一到两次。
我曾误以为只有我一个人有这样的遭遇。每三个美国女性中就有一个会在她生命中的某一时刻成为家暴或骚扰的受害者，而CDC的报告指出每年有1500万的儿童被虐待，1500万。因而事实上，我并非个例。
