뜻

피해자

The standard legal and formal term for a victim in Chinese judicial proceedings. Closely synonymous with 受害者 (victim — more general, also used outside legal contexts; 者 emphasises the role), but 受害人 (人 = person) is the preferred term in criminal law and official documentation. Distinct from 被告 (defendant) and 证人 (witness). In civil law, the counterpart is 受损方 (the damaged/injured party). Key collocations: 受害人陈述 (victim statement); 受害人权益 (victim rights); 受害人救助 (victim assistance).

올바른 표현

• 现代刑事司法的进步，不只在于惩罚犯罪，也在于充分保障受害人权益和持续心理支持。(Progress in modern criminal justice lies not only in punishing crime, but also in fully protecting victims' rights and providing ongoing psychological support.)
• 集体诉讼中，受害人差异很大，损失类型和程度不同，公平分配赔偿因此很难。(In class actions, victims differ greatly, and because the types and levels of loss vary, fair compensation is very difficult to distribute.)

피해야 할 표현

• 受害人 interchangeably with 被害人 in all contexts — 被害人 is specifically used in criminal law to denote the direct victim of a crime (i.e., the person against whom the criminal act was directed), while 受害人 is broader and includes victims of accidents, negligence, and other non-criminal harm; in formal legal documents, distinguish between the two carefully
