前不久的杭州杀妻碎尸案,想必大家都或多或少有些耳闻。嫌疑人的手法,动机,尤其是案发后的那份“冷静”让人们细思极恐。一时间网络上关于此案的各种传言也开始沸沸扬扬。
其中一个观点是,在此次案件侦破过程当中杭州警方过度地释放了案件的一些具体信息,很多人担心这种做法会不会导致模仿犯罪。
读到这里,估计大家懂了,这不是一个雅思写作中常见的话题嘛。
那么我们来看一篇ChinaDaily的文章,是如何分析这件事情的。本文选自ChinaDaily微信公号“Transparencydoes not lead to more crimes”By Zhang Zhouxiang 2020-07-29。
In a widely publicized case, a man allegedly murdered his wife inside his house in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, on July 6, and then called the police to say she had left home, asking them to findher.
01
Publicize
动词,公布,宣布的意思。这里可以延伸理解为“报道”。
Social networking sites were abuzz with gossip after it was reported that nocamera in the residential community had any footage showing the woman leaving home.
02
Abuzz
形容词,嗡嗡的,叽叽喳喳的,忙碌的,议论纷纷的。这里be abuzz with就是指:对某事议论纷纷的。
03
Gossip
名词,大家比较熟悉的词条指的是“八卦消息”。其本意就是“小道消息”,当然个别语境下也可以指喜欢“小道消息”的人。
The case was finally cracked on Thursday when the police found human tissue having the same DNA as the woman's in the community's septictank. Her husband has been detained on suspicion of murder.
04
Detain
动词,拘留。其实他的另一个词条也是动词“耽误”。例如:I do not want to detain you any further. I know you are quite busy.
In a similar case reported from Yue'an in Sichuan province on July 19, a man allegedly killed his wife and then called the police to claim shehad gone missing.
The similar modus operandi prompted many on social media to say the police should not have released details of the two cases. They feltthe second crime was inspired by the first and the two cases mightgive potential criminals more ideas.
05
Modus operandi
名词性,独特的行事手法,这里指作案手法。在犯罪类话题的论述时,这是一个高分词汇。
06
Potential criminals
潜在的罪犯
But despite the crime in Hangzhou preceding the one in Yue'an, it did not inspire the latter, as details of the first case were not made known till Thursday, four days after the second crime was committed. Unlessthe suspect in Yue'an had a time machine, there was no way he could have been "inspired" by the other case.
Besides,Hangzhou police had no other choice than to release details, as at least 200 theories had been floating on social media, some hinting ata crime of passion. The theories had enough meat to fill up a crimefiction bestseller and inspire potential criminals.
07
Theory
名词,通常指的是理论。但是另一词条为“观点”,尤其是那些未被证实的观点。
08
动词性,暗示某事。
If at all, such rumors are more likely to inspire crime, whereas making details of cases public can help prevent them.
通读此文,首先要学习一下文章的一些重点单词。
此外,本文的观点也非常值得借鉴,披露案件的具体信息为了是澄清一些相关谣言和公众们无端的猜测,相比案件的具体信息,这些谣言才更容易妖言惑众。
这个论点在很多雅思写作媒体类和犯罪类结合的题目中都可以被用到。例如:
In some countries, some criminal trails in the law courts are shown on television so that the general public can watch them. Do advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? 20200104
多多累积生活中的点滴,其实万物皆可雅思。
