6. 贪内助

corrupt spouse

请看例句：

"Corrupt spouse" has already become a noticeable phenomenon in a number of cases involving corrupted government officials. The spouses of officials found to be involved in corruption have often helped their partners take bribes, or take advantage of their spouses' positions to make illegal profits.

在许多涉及贪腐官员的案件中，"贪内助"已成为一个引人注目的现象。这些领导干部的配偶被曝牵涉贪污腐败，通常助其配偶收受贿赂，或利用配偶职务之便牟取不法利益。

正是认识到"贪内助"对领导干部的消极影响(negative influence)，许多年以来，有关部门一直重视对"内助"们(officials' spouses)的反腐倡廉建设。

媒体近日报道，厦门市公安局组织近期新提任的22名领导干部携配偶(22 newly promoted officials and their spouses)走进厦门市党风廉政教育基地，共同接受反腐倡廉警示教育(anti-corruption awareness education)。配偶们参观后深有触动，纷纷表示今后要积极做好"廉内助"和"监督员"。此外，关键还是要给官员配偶立规矩(make rules)，防止她们滥用权力(abuse of power)。
