实用英语推荐：商务英语常用口语：“判刑”怎么说

老师称，新刑法规定，如果政府官员对生产销售问题食品的行为睁一只眼闭一只眼的话，也将面临刑事处罚。不过这一规定的贯彻执行还需要一定的时间。

请看相关英文报道：

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】

报道中的"sentence"作动词的时候就是“判刑”的意思。此外，我们还可以用"condemn"表示这个意思。并且这两个词都可以用"sentence/condemn somebody to something" 的模式，意思是“判处某人以某刑”。

例句：

The humbug was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment.

那个骗子被判了三年徒刑。

The assassin was condemned to death.

该刺客被判死刑。

It is unlawful to condemn a man without a hearing.

没有进行审问就给人判刑是违法的。
