A murderer, sitting in the electric chair, was about to be executed.


 


A chaplain asked, "Do you have any last requests?"


 


The murderer replied, "Yes,please hold my hand."


 


 


Notes 1:


 


1. A murderer, sitting in the electric chair, was about to be executed.


 


有一个坐在电椅上的杀人犯即将被处决。


 


"be about to + v."是指“即将做...”,如:I was about to go to bed when he came home.他回家的时候我正要上床睡觉。而"be not about to + v."是指“没有意愿做…、不打算做…”, 如:I'm not about to attend the party.我不打算去参加这个舞会。


 


现今美国只有很少数的几个州仍以电椅处决人犯,这种刑罚被认为是残忍的,所以多以注射毒药取代。


 


murderer [ˈmɜ:dərə(r)] n.杀人犯 electric [ɪˈlektrɪk] adj.带电的 execute [ˈeksɪkju:t] v.处以死刑


 


2. A chaplain asked, "Do you have any last requests?"


 


一个牧师问他:“你还有什么最后的要求吗?”


 


chaplain [ˈtʃæplɪn] n. (监狱中的)牧师


 


3. The murderer replied, "Yes,please hold my hand."


 


杀人犯回答:“有,请握住我的手。”


 


hold [həʊld] v.握住
