Sentenced

“Sentenced” 在法律语境中表示“被法庭判刑”,如 sentenced to five years。不要与 sentence 的“句子”义混淆——同一词不同义项。

  1. “He was sentenced to three years in prison.” (他被判处三年监禁。)
  2. “The judge sentenced her to community service.” (法官判她做社区服务。)
  3. “They were sentenced after a long trial.” (漫长审判后,他们被判了刑。)

“Sentenced” 来自拉丁语 “sententia”(意见、判决),与 sense(感觉、意义)有词源联系,法律义强调“法庭的意见/裁决”。

“-ence” 构成名词 sentence;“-ed” 为过去分词后缀。

在犯罪与司法新闻中,“sentenced” 是 headline 常用词,如 sentenced to life、sentenced yesterday。

  • 固定搭配: “sentenced to” (被判……), “sentenced to prison” (被判入狱)
  • 原形: sentence(动词/名词)
  • 名词: sentence(句子/判决)

法庭给出 sentence(判决)后,人就被 sentenced 了——同形词,义看语境。

“After the jury reached a verdict, the judge sentenced him to pay a fine instead of prison.” (陪审团作出裁决后,法官判他罚款而非监禁。)
