商務(wù)英語口語大全:“判刑”怎么說

字號:

專家稱,新刑法規(guī)定,如果政府官員對生產(chǎn)銷售問題食品的行為睜一只眼閉一只眼的話,也將面臨刑事處罰。不過這一規(guī)定的貫徹執(zhí)行還需要一定的時(shí)間。
    請看相關(guān)英文報(bào)道:
    More than 700 people have been sentenced amid a nationwide food safety campaign, the top court said on Thursday, but none of them were officials.
    Experts said the new Criminal Law - which subjects officials to criminal penalties if they turn a blind eye to the production and distribution of unsafe food - still needs time to be implemented.
    【解析】
    報(bào)道中的"sentence"作動詞的時(shí)候就是“判刑”的意思。此外,我們還可以用"condemn"表示這個(gè)意思。并且這兩個(gè)詞都可以用"sentence/condemn somebody to something" 的模式,意思是“判處某人以某刑”。
    例句:
    The humbug was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment.
    那個(gè)騙子被判了三年徒刑。
    The assassin was condemned to death.
    該刺客被判死刑。
    It is unlawful to condemn a man without a hearing.
    沒有進(jìn)行審問就給人判刑是違法的。
