敲诈

• ピンイン: qiāo zhà
• 漢字の分解: 敲 = 高 + 攴 (to beat); 诈 = 讠(speech radical) + 乍 (suddenly — to speak deceptively, to defraud)

意味

恐喝する；ゆすり取る

Used in legal, journalistic, and everyday contexts. Often appears in the compound 敲诈勒索 (extortion and blackmail), which is the standard legal term for this crime in Chinese criminal law. Stronger and more serious than simple deception (欺骗) — it specifically involves coercion or threats.

正しい言い方

• 受害人反映，嫌疑人掌握了她的个人信息后多次发来威胁短信，声称若不支付指定金额便将隐私散布网络，手段属于典型的敲诈勒索。(The victim reported that after the suspect obtained her personal information, he repeatedly sent threatening messages claiming he would post her private information online unless a specified sum was paid — a textbook case of extortion.)
• 该公司高管被竞争对手雇佣的人员敲诈，对方以散布虚假丑闻相要挟，迫使其签署了一份不平等的商业协议。(A senior executive at the company was extorted by individuals hired by a rival, who threatened to spread false scandals unless he signed an inequitable commercial agreement.)

避ける言い方

• 他把价格定得很高，真是敲诈 — overcharging is not extortion in the legal sense; use 宰客 (rip off customers) or 漫天要价 (ask an outrageous price) for commercial overpricing without threats
