中新网5月18日电 据“中央社”援引美媒17日报道,因性侵入狱的国际货币基金(IMF)总裁卡恩,在监狱中受到防止自杀监视。
消息人士说,卡恩每15至30分钟便被检查一次,并穿着连衫裤和没有鞋带的鞋子,以将他的自杀机率降至最低。
小编:国际货币基金组织总裁这几天注定要成为全世界媒体关注的焦点。从最初因为性侵犯案被捕,到后来的保释失败,再到现在接受自杀监视,一系列事件接连发生,让人在为为卡恩的“前途”堪忧的同时,也不得不感慨:色字头上一把刀啊。现在,我们就一起来学习相关的知识。
首先,看一下中国日报的对卡恩接受防止自杀监视的报道:
NEW YORK – IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was placed under a suicide watch in jail, while pressure mounted on him to resign Tuesday and the hotel maid who accused him of attempted rape said through her lawyer that she had no idea who he was when she reported him to the police.
在报道中,suicide watch就是“防止自杀监视”。suicide有“自杀,自取灭亡”的意思。例如:He attempted suicide after his firm had gone bankrupt. (他在公司破产后曾试图自杀。)那么,“处于自杀监视中”就是under the suicide watch。
卡恩是因为性侵犯案(sexual assault case)而被捕的,之后因为保释(release on bail)遭拒而一直被关押在狱中(in jail)。
