词汇学习中[E]表示单词的英文解释,[C]表示单词的中文解释。
1. Adjudge

[C]定……的罪,定……的刑。

☆扩展记忆: ~ sth to sb :award sth to sb 将某事物判给、断与某人:
e.g. The court adjudged legal damages to her.
2. Sentence
[E] state that sb is to have a certain punishment
[C]法庭强加给罪犯的惩罚,或者推迟执行该惩罚的判决。

3. Pass
[E] to officially decide how a criminal will be punished, and to announce what the punishment will be
[C]宣判、宣布一项意见、判决或审判。
e.g. pass sentence on an offender, pass judgment on a matter
☆扩展记忆:那pass a remark是什么意思呢?--只是"作评论"啦,没有别的意思~~
4. Adjudicate
[E] to officially decide who is right in a disagreement and decide what should be done
[C]通过司法程序听取及解决(案件);裁度研究并解决(争议或争论)。
e.g. The owner can appeal to the court to adjudicate on the matter.
☆扩展记忆:常见搭配是adjudicate on/upon sth.表示就某事做出裁定。
Adjudicator是指竞赛中的裁判。
学习手记:
今天这几个词还是不太容易区分的,对于这样的词,建议大家按照程度轻重和使用环境来区别记忆。这几个词中,程度最轻的应该是pass。需要注意的是Adjudge只是一个宣判的动作,所引出的结果可以是有罪,也可以是无罪的。而sentence的对象则已经是确认的罪犯了。
Exercises:翻译下面的句子
1. 这位妇女因杀害丈夫被判处15年以上的徒刑至生命终结。
2. 大会可能通过该法,不必继续搁置。
3. 法官裁决他应当被释放。
