On April 26, 2010, Chen Bentao received the recorded footage and a letter asking him to return the money besides a mental damage compensation of 50,000 yuan.
在上面的报道中,mental damage compensation就是“精神损失费”,也叫“精神损失赔偿”,还可以用compensation for shock或compensation for mental injury来表示。随着人们法律意识和人权意识的增强,精神损失费也逐渐为大众所熟知。像这种“无形”的损失费还有reputation damage compensation(名誉损失费)。
