#热词##弗洛伊德案宣判#当地时间4月20日下午，经过近3周法庭审理，前白人警察德雷克·肖万（Derek Chauvin）被控杀害非洲裔男子乔治·弗洛伊德案在美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市宣判。The jury swiftly and unanimously convicted Derek Chauvin of all the charges he faced – second- and third-degree murder, and manslaughter – after concluding that the white former Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd in May through a criminal assault, by pinning him to the ground so he could not breathe.陪审团迅速作出一致判决，认为德雷克·肖万在去年5月乔治·弗洛伊德死亡案中，将其跪压在地导致其不能呼吸的行为构成刑事犯罪，因此，判定肖万二级谋杀、三级谋杀以及过失杀人三项罪名均成立。
【词汇讲解】“Someone is convicted of+罪名”是一个正式的表达，表明这个人被法庭（陪审团）正式判定有罪，是有法律效力的，我们也可以用“the court/jury found someone guilty of +罪名”这个句式来替换，比如上文的句子就可以变成：the court/jury found him guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter；在法庭正式判决之前，这个人只能是“被告”（the defendant）或者“犯罪嫌疑人”（the suspect），这个人因什么罪名被警方正式指控就要用“someone is charged of + 罪名”或者其名词形式搭配“the police bring a charge of +罪名 against someone”来表示，比如：He was charged of theft/The police brought a charge of theft against him. 更多庭审词汇讲解：http://t.cn/A6cpv3gT
