| 释义 | 〔hard〕worked hard all day; stared hard at the accused criminal.一整天都在努力地工作；恶狠狠地盯着那个被控告的罪犯〔confession〕A written or an oral statement acknowledging guilt, made by one who has been accused or charged with an offense.供认状：由被控告或指控的人作出的承认罪行的书面或口头声明〔culprit〕According to British legal tradition,the wordculprit comes from cul. prit, an abbreviation of the Anglo-Norman legal phraseCulpable: prit d'averrer nostre bille. These words, said by the clerk of the crown in response to a not-guilty plea,meant, "Guilty: I am ready to aver our indictment.”After law French went out of official use in the courts,the shortened formcul. prit was misinterpreted as a term of address used by the clerk to a prisoner indicted for high treason or felony and pleading "not guilty.” Culprit is first recorded in such a use in 1678. The term was thereafter taken to mean "the accused,”and then, by association with Latinculpa, "guilt,” it came to mean "a guilty party.”根据英国法律的传统，culprit 一词源于 cul. prit ， 这是英国法语的法律短语Culpable： prit d'averrer nostre bille 的缩略语。 这些词语是王国政府的书记员在回答对于被指控罪名不服的申诉时所说的，意思是：“证明有罪的：我将要证实我们的控告属实。”在诺曼人的法律法语不限于在法庭中使用后，其缩略形式cul.prit 被错误地理解为一种称呼，书记员用它来称呼被控犯有判国罪或重罪但又申辩“无罪”的犯人。 Culprit 一词最早在1678年以这种用法被记录下来。 这个词语自那以后被用来指“被控告的人”，然后它与拉丁语culpa “有罪的”一词相联系， 用来表示“被证明有罪的一方”〔Borden〕American woman accused and acquitted of the ax murder of her parents (1892).伯登，莉齐·安德鲁：(1860-1927) 因用斧子杀害她双亲而被控告和宣告无罪的美国妇女（1892年）〔attainder〕Middle English atteindre [act of attainting] 中古英语 atteindre [被控告的行为] |
