oh

All those materials I got are from the group. I'm not professional enough (and I don't have time of course) to do the whole translation job.

I was plainly translating that specific Chinese sentence into English. Nothing more, nothing less.

Alright, to make it clear,

I never intend to bash the integrity of Eng trans. I was merely comparing those two to see if I can get additional clarification.

If ogres are violent perpetrators / husband beaters like you claimed, I was expecting to see words like punch, beat up or anything pertains to assault and battery in the Chinese entry.

But I found no words like those.

So that's why I say the "beat" in that sentence is merely a "literary decoration" (or something like that. sorry I'm totally not familiar with literary terms.).

Of course, I'm not saying it's impossible for ogres to beat their husbands up if the husbands ask for it (masochists).

Still, it depends.

If the ogre is extremely dominant and she hates hurting/torturing people, let alone her husband, then it's unlikely that the ogre would fulfill her husband's request.
