美国佛罗里达州一家法院7月13日裁定,备受民众关注的17岁非洲裔少年特雷翁•马丁枪杀案的被告人乔治•齐默尔曼被判无罪当庭释放,同时陪审团也没有对其做出过失杀人判决。

After a year and a half of living as a hermit, George Zimmerman emerged from a Florida courthouse a free man, cleared of all charges in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

在经历了一年半隐士般的生活后,乔治•齐默尔曼走出佛罗里达州的一家法院,重获自由,他在17岁少年特雷翁•马丁枪杀案中的所有指控均被盼不成立。

齐默尔曼“被判无罪”有三种表达,一个是someone is cleared of all charges,例句:She was cleared of all charges and walked out of the court right after the verdict. (她被判无罪,当庭释放。)另一个是acquittal,名词,是法院所做出的正式“无罪判决”,动词形式为someone is acquitted,如,Zimmerman is acquitted;还有一个是find someone not guilty,如:A jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder。与之意思相反的“判定有罪,证明有罪”可用to convict someone of / to declare someone guilty表示,如:He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment (他被判谋杀罪名成立,判处终身监禁。)
