3、些凶手三、四年后从监狱被释放这一事实。2“How come？”作独立的句子时常用于口语，意为“为什么？/怎么会呢？”How_come?怎么会呢？课文预读以上部分译文犯罪活动与惩罚6月14日上周波利费勒的文章十分优秀，因为她(在文章中)谴责了这个国家对犯人的轻判(制度)。我哥哥是个警察，他告诉我毒犯和抢劫犯在犯罪之后仅仅几个星期或几个月就出现在大街上，甚至(有的)只被罚款就释放了。甚至更不可思议的是一些杀人犯入狱三四年就出狱了。因为这样，许多人对英国的司法系统的公正性正在丧失信心。我认为这个国家应该恢复重判，以让罪犯为他们的所作所为付出代价。我完全认可美国人的观点“事不过三”，即犯三次罪就终身监
4、禁。那是保护社会安定、阻止年轻人犯罪的唯一方法。如此多的钱被花在监狱上，以至于它们(被装修得)像旅馆一样，配有电视和健身房。犯人应该工作而不应该像在度假营中的度假者一样被对待。我还认为我们应该像美国那样恢复死刑(制度)。当一个人杀了人，他们不应该再活下去。我们也需要考虑死者的家属和朋友要求正义的愿望。RJ布彻金厄姆，牛津郡以上部分译文6月20日读了贵报上周刊登的RJ布彻所写的信，我觉得恐怖。他/她把惩罚看作一次报复的机会。在我看来，惩罚的主要目的应该是改造那些曾犯过罪的人。我们需要帮助和改造那些罪犯，以使他们成为社会中的有用成员。我们也需要杜绝如毒品和贫困这样的社会问题，这些问题经常导致犯罪活
5、动。原则上我完全反对重判，同时真的认为应该废除死刑。判无期徒刑(或终身监禁)的唯一条件是：罪犯十分危险，一旦被释放出狱，周围的人们就要遭殃。布彻先生/小姐建议恢复死刑(制度)，这会更糟。我们得承认，死刑是一种谋杀，并不比其他的谋杀好到哪里去，仅仅因为它由国家执行。它是一种残忍的惩罚形式，是违背人类尊严的。除此之外，它也是极其不公平的，因为可能出现错误。在美国过去的100年中，有23个人被误判了死刑，还有大约400例其他的案件疑点重重。比起其他的惩罚，死刑更多地影响了社会的一些部门。因而，在美国，如果受害者是黑人而谋杀者是白人，那么罪犯就有可能不被判处死刑，颠倒过来情况则相反。保罗梅森约克课文理
