Convicted
“Convicted” 是 convict(定罪)的过去分词。be convicted of 表示 因某罪被法庭判定有罪。名词 convict 也可指 已决罪犯(重音在后)。
- “He was convicted of fraud after a long trial.” (经漫长审判,他被判欺诈罪成立。)
- “The convicted defendant appealed the sentence.” (已定罪被告对判决提出上诉。)
- “She was wrongly convicted and later exonerated.” (她曾蒙冤定罪,后来洗清罪名。)
con-(完全)+ vict(征服)来自拉丁语 convincere(证明有罪),与 convince 历史同源。
convict + -ed;名词 conviction(定罪、信念)双关义不同。
新闻标题 convicted killer、newly convicted 常见;讨论司法公正时 wrongly convicted 是核心议题。
- 固定搭配: “convicted of” (被判…罪), “newly convicted” (新定罪), “convicted criminal” (已决罪犯)
con- + vict(胜利)→ 法律上 “被彻底击败/证明有罪” = convicted。
“The jury convicted him, and the convicted man later studied law to help others avoid being wrongly convicted.” (陪审团定罪了他,这位已决犯人后来学法律,帮助他人避免冤案。)
