句子+翻译
He was sentenced to death.他被判处极刑。
讲解
Sentence在英语中表示“—个句子”的意思,但是还有“宣判,判刑"的含义。判处死刑,判处极刑,就是be sentenced to death,如果是"终身监禁",就是 be sentenced to life imprisonment,如果是"被判三年监禁”,就是be sentenced to three years in prison.这几个例子里sentence都是动词。
此外,它也可以做一个名词,比如”判处死刑“也可以说: be given the death sentence, or to receive the death sentence.
发音
Sentence这个单词注意发音,不要读成森-疼-丝,第一个音节元音发音是/ɜ/,和get里面元音一样,sen,第二个元音弱化, tens,连起来就是,/'sentans/, be sentenced to death.
