关于李易峰塌房的最新报道

Multiple brands ‘end cooperation’ with Chinese actor Li Yifeng after detention over prostitution (因嫖娼而被拘，prostitution 除了表示“卖淫”还可以表示“嫖娼”)

Chinese actor Li Yifeng, 35, has been detained (=arrest / were taken into police custody / be in custody / be placed under arrest，拘留，拘捕) for soliciting prostitution (嫖娼)on multiple occasions (=on many times，多次，occasion除了表示“场合”还表示“次”). The Beijing police announced in a statement on Sunday the detention of a man surnamed (=family name / second name，姓) Li, and national media then confirmed it was actor Li Yifeng.

detain v. 拘留

detention n. 拘留

The announcement came after Li's studio (明星工作室) issued a statement on Saturday night, saying that some comments about Li's personal life on the internet were only rumors.

The actor was detained under (=according to) criminal charges of soliciting prostitution and he confessed to the crime(=pleaded guilty / acknowledged that he was guilty of ... / admit/acknowledge + one's guilt，认罪，供认不讳), according to the report posted on the Sina Weibo account of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau (北京市公安局).

The man has been placed under arrest according to the law, the Beijing police said.

The news immediately ranked among the top of trending topics on Sina Weibo (=上新浪热搜第一). Many brands such as Zhenguoli under Mengniu (=蒙牛旗下的真果粒，旗下就可用under这个介词), Prada, Luk Fook Jewelry, Panerai, Sensodyne and Kyoto Nian Ci'an then announced the termination of their partnership with (=end cooperation with，解约，本质就是取消合作) Li.

“上热搜第一，热搜登顶”的几种表达：

①xxx was top trending on Weibo

②xxx topped Weibo’s trending topic chart with 74 million views

③xxx was the No. 1 trending topic on Weibo

Li, an actor with more than 36 million followers in Sina Weibo, was on a previously announced list of celebrities expected to attend (参演...的艺人名单) the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on CCTV on Saturday night, but his name was later deleted (=remove) from the program.

Many netizens noticed that the official Weibo account of China's Supreme People's Procuratorate (中国最高人民检察院) has also deleted all information related to Li on Saturday. Li once served as the promotional ambassador (宣传大使) for the activities of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, participating in the shooting (=filming，拍摄、录制) of music videos, among other publicity work.

网民的几种表达：

■ Internet users/group

■ people online

■ surfer（网上冲浪者）

■ online group

背景：在2020年，最高人民检察院发布音乐视频《青春需要温暖》，唤起公众关注校园欺凌，并邀请了李易峰参与演出。李易峰也曾作为全国检察机关「法治进校园」活动的形象大使。不过网民发现，这些内容已经在最高检微博中消失。

On Saturday, Li's studio issued a statement, emphasizing that Li has always abided by professional ethics (=work ethic，职业道德) and behaved within the limits of morality (坚守道德底线，工作室原话), adding that "the comments about Li Yifeng's personal life on the internet are untrue and have been maliciously fabricated (恶意编造) to spread rumors by people with ulterior motives (=have an axe to grind / had a hidden motive，别有用心)."

The statement (现在我们对这个词多了一层“工作室声明”的感性认识) also requested major online platforms to block or delete the "infringing (侵犯隐私的) content," but the statement did not give a reason for Li's removal from CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Shortly after the studio's statement, Li himself also published a long post on Weibo (发微博), emphasizing that the rumors not only caused emotional damage to himself, but also affected all his ongoing businesses.（真想吐槽脸皮好厚啊哈哈哈哈）

关于上网冲浪时的一些表达：

■ publish/release a post 发帖

■ tweet v. 发推特，推特上发布推文

■ post n. 社交媒体上的推文/动态/帖子

■ post a picture/photo 社交媒体上发照片

■ give sb a like/thumb-up 给某人点赞

■ scroll through social media feeds 刷社交媒体（如刷微博）

Li wrote: "I hope Li Yifeng will live on in his film and television work, will live responsibly and will also live in the social responsibility of today's youth (=young people / young group / youngsters / the young，都可以表示年轻人群体), instead of living among lawsuits and fighting against malicious (=malevolent/spiteful/unkind/mean/malignant/hostile，恶意的) rumors."

However, Li 's above-mentioned (上面提到的) post and his studio's statement were soon deleted, and related search terms (=hashtag / trending topic ，微博上的话题讨论，带#号的话题标签) such as "Li Yifeng's statement" and "Li Yifeng's long post" also disappeared.

"The arrest makes Li and the team's previous announcements ridiculous," said a comment posted after the news report on Sunday.

"Behave morally and do not cross the line of the law: these are basic life principles for a human being. As a public figure, Li should have known better, but even after arrest, Li did not seriously reflect upon (=think carefully and deeply about / rethink，认真思考，反思) his own faults, and instead he hoped to erase traces of illegal activities in a variety of ways. Not repenting (=feel sorry / regret / remorse(n.) / confession(n.)，因认识到错误而忏悔) after making a mistake is more unforgivable than simply making a mistake," the comment said.

关于本文中“遵纪守法，遵守道德底线，好好做人”、“不可触碰法律的红线以及做人的道德底线”的一些表达汇总：

■ abide by professional ethics and behaved within the limits of morality

■ behave morally and do not cross the line of the law

According to netizens' posts on Weibo, Li was originally scheduled to attend a brand promotion in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province on September 2, but he was absent from the event for no plausible (=reasonable，合理的，有道理的) reason.

Later that day, Li made a livestream announcement, blaming the epidemic for(=impute sth to sb / ascribe A to B / attribute A to B ，归咎于，归责于) his absence in the Hangzhou event.

In 2016, Li won the Best Supporting Actor Award (=最佳男配角奖) at the Hundred Flowers Award for his film Mr. Six.

Another actor Chinese-Canadian pop idol Kris Wu in the same film was detained by Beijing police for suspected rape in July of 2021.
