hara-kiri

Mr Zuma is not known to be fond of hara-kiri.

众所周知，祖玛先生并不是个特别喜欢自己认罪道歉的人。

Defeated warriors (samurai) often resorted to hara-kiri.

落败的武士总是采用切腹的死法。

Seppuku (Hara-Kiri) was a key part of bushido, the code of the samurai warriors; it was used by warriors to avoid falling into enemy hands, and to attenuate shame.

切腹自杀是日本武士阶级信奉的武士道的重要部分；往往切腹自杀是为了防止自己落入敌人之手，借以此来洗刷耻辱。
