MBA英語素材：一封英文請愿書|江歌案

　　可憐的江歌媽媽，無權(quán)無勢，只能借助網(wǎng)絡(luò)的力量，為她女兒討回公道。

　　為了爭取到海外人士的支持，網(wǎng)絡(luò)上還出現(xiàn)了一封英文版的請愿書。這封英文請愿書值得我們看一下：用詞準確，行文流暢;展示了整個案件的過程，同時反映了兇手的殘忍、劉鑫的無情;也表現(xiàn)了受害者的無辜、受害者家庭的痛苦。

　　下面是這封英文請愿書的翻譯、語言點整理：

　　Petition

　　請愿書

　　Dear Judge and Jurors,

　　尊敬的法官即陪審員，

　　juror：n. 陪審員

　　We are citizens of different countries.

　　我們是來自不同國家的公民。

　　citizen：n. 公民

　　From November 2016, when we learnt from the news that JIANG Ge, a Chinese girl who studied in Japan, was murdered there, we gradually learn about some knowledge on the laws in Japan, and get to know people are seldom sentenced to death due to killing a person.

　　2016年11月開始從新聞中得知中國留日女學生江歌在日本被害案件的發(fā)生，逐漸了解到一些日本法律，我們聽說日本的法律殺害一人很難判處死刑。

　　murder：vt. 謀殺;seldom：adv. 很少;be sentenced to death：被判死刑

　　犯罪嫌疑人陳世峰

　　The suspect CHEN Shifeng transferred his anger on an innocent person due to his private feelings. He disguised himself and premeditated and planned to hide himself at the entrance of JIANG Ge’s house in the early morning. He unscrupulously killed JIANG Ge since LIU Xin closed the door, and stabbed JIANG Ge, an unarmed and delicate girl, for 10 times with a knife, which was really brutal and flagrant.

　　我們認為嫌疑人陳世峰僅僅因為與當事人劉鑫有私人感情恩怨，就遷怒于無辜旁人，喬裝改扮后有預謀有計劃的在凌晨時間隱藏在江歌家門口，蓄意殺人，劉鑫進屋關(guān)了門，陳世峰就喪心病狂的殘殺無辜的江歌，刺了一個手無寸鐵的柔弱女孩10刀，手段極其殘忍，罪大惡極。

　　suspect：n. 嫌疑人;transfer：vt. 遷移;innocent：adj. 無辜的;disguise：vt. 喬裝打扮;premeditate：vt. 預謀;unscrupulously：慘無人道地、不分青紅皂白地;stab：捅;unarmed：手無寸鐵的;brutal and flagrant：殘忍的、明目張膽的

　　As compatriots living in a foreign country, people should help and be kind to each other. On the contrary, CHEN Shifeng killed an innocent person due to small love affairs. After killing JIANG Ge, he covered up the crime, destroyed incriminatingevidences, refused to admit his guilty after being arrested and showed no regret on his crime, which has greatly hurt the Grandma and Mother of JIANG Ge physically and mentally, making them live in deep sorrow and not able to live normal lives. The savage act of CHEN Shifeng has destroyed the lives of the whole family of JIANG Ge.

　　本是在異國的同胞，要互相幫助，友善友愛。陳世峰卻因自身戀愛小問題，殘殺無辜，殺人后為了掩蓋罪行，銷毀罪證，被逮捕后拒不認罪，沒有一點悔罪表現(xiàn)，給江歌的媽媽和姥姥在痛失至親后增加了更大的身心傷害，致使江歌媽媽和姥姥每天生活在痛苦中，完全無法恢復正常生活，陳世峰的暴行毀了江歌整個家族的生活。

　　compatriot：同胞; love affairs：感情糾葛;cover up the crime：掩蓋罪行;incriminating evidences：定罪的證據(jù);savage act：野蠻行徑

　　There is no reason for CHEN Shifeng to take away the life of an innocent person, and he knows nothing about the meaning of life and arbitrarily destroyed other people’s life. He doesn’t deserve a second chance. CHEN Shifeng shall pay corresponding price for his crime, and we hereby appeal the Japanese laws to protect the human rights of law-abiding citizens, and sentence the suspect CHEN Shifeng to death. Thanks for your efforts made to uphold justice!

　　陳世峰沒有任何理由強取豪奪⼀個⽆辜⼈的⽣命，陳世峰根本不懂⽣命的意義，肆意殘害他⼈⽣命，不具有任何重新改造的價值!陳世峰應(yīng)該為⾃⼰的罪⾏付出相應(yīng)的代價，我們懇請⽇本法律保護守法公⺠的⼈權(quán)，判決嫌疑⼈陳世峰死刑。感謝法官們?yōu)榫S護法律，伸張正義所付出的努⼒!

　　arbitrarily：肆意地;corresponding：相應(yīng)地;appeal：呼吁;law-abiding citizens：守法公民;uphold justice：伸張正義

　　最后，還是想講講劉鑫母女。

　　如果這只是一起單純的殺人案，應(yīng)該不會在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上引起如此震動。正是劉鑫母女--作為“被幫助者”，面對恩人，擺出這幅嘴臉，實在令人發(fā)指。這讓人民群眾去哪里安放我們內(nèi)心深處的良心和道德?

　　她們雖然沒犯法，無法受到法律的制裁。但是法不禁止皆可為嗎?如果每一個被幫助者毫無感恩之心，認為別人的幫助是理所當然，那這個社會還有什么溫暖可言?

　　我想，劉鑫母女唯一的正面作用就是：提醒和告誡所有善良的人們，這個世界上還是有壞人的，交友必須謹慎!
