敲诈

• 병음: qiāo zhà
• 한자 분석: 敲 = 高 + 攴 (to beat); 诈 = 讠(speech radical) + 乍 (suddenly — to speak deceptively, to defraud)

뜻

협박이나 강요로 돈·이익을 갈취하다(협박·공갈하다).

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.

올바른 표현

• 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.)

피해야 할 표현
