عبارت انگلیسی
sentencing
معنی و توضیح
The word “sentencing,” in this podcast, means the practice of assigning a punishment to a criminal after he or she has been found guilty: “We were all shocked by the light sentencing. How could a murderer get only five years in prison?” A “death sentence” is a punishment in which the government kills the criminal: “Some people oppose the death sentences, saying that it is never right to kill another human being.” A “life sentence” is a punishment in which the government sends a criminal to jail for the rest of his or her life: “Is it ever reasonable to give teenagers a life sentence when they still have so many years ahead of them?” Finally, the phrase “to serve a sentence” means to spend time in jail according to one’s punishment: “He’s currently serving a 10-year sentence.”
