泼女护士硫酸致死 印度男子被判死刑

A man in the Indian city of mumbai has been sentenced to death for a fatal acid attack on a woman at a busy railway station three years ago, in what is being seen as a legal landmark.

三年前，在一个繁忙的火车站，因向一名女子泼硫酸并致其死亡，印度孟买一名男子日前被判处死刑，这是印度法律史上的一个里程碑事件。

Preeti Rathi, who was 23 when she was murdered, had just arrived from Delhi to join the Indian navy as a nurse.

受害人拉蒂·瑞斯当时年仅23岁，她从家乡德里来到孟买，准备加入印度海军担任随军护士。

Her neighbour Ankur Panwar attacked her after she rejected a marriage proposal.

她的邻居安库尔·潘沃在向其求婚被拒之后袭击了她。

It is the first such sentence for an acid attack in India. Many such attacks go unpunished.

这是印度泼硫酸袭击案件中，第一起被告被判处死刑的案件。很多这样的罪犯并未受到处分。

Panwar, 25, was convicted of murder and other offences at a special court in the city last Tuesday. He is likely to appeal against the verdict in a higher court.

上周二，在孟买的一个特别法庭上，25岁的潘沃被判犯谋杀罪以及其他罪名。他极可能向上级法院提起上诉。

Ms Rathi, who suffered severe injuries to her lungs and eyes in the attack on 2 May 2013, died a month later.

2013年5月2日，瑞斯女士的肺部和眼睛因受硫酸袭击严重受伤，一个月后便离开了人世。

A month after her death, India's Supreme Court ordered federal and state governments to regulate the sale of acid.

她去世后一个月，印度最高法院要求联邦和各邦政府严格监管硫酸的销售。

According to government figures, there are hundreds of such attacks a year; but the real figures are much higher.
