英语达人请进death penalty和capital punishment哪个词更专业
都是说死刑的意思 但是哪一个词更常用 更正确 我在和人打赌
答
death penalty：The punishment of execution, administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime.
capital punishment:The legally authorized killing of someone as punishment for a crime.
解释都差不多,但death penalty简单直接,很常用
capital punishment相对生僻一些!
