1.your honor
[法]法官阁下
eg:It's nice to be here, your honor. 很高兴能够到这儿来,法官阁下

2.be accused of
be accused of和be sentenced to都有指控,判处的意思。下面我们来区分一下:
be sentenced to 被判处.....刑,后面跟的是在审判后法院所定之罪
be accused of 指控...(某人所犯之罪);指控...(某人所犯之错)。后面跟的是对某人的指责或指控,还谈不上定罪。当用于法律案件时,后面跟的是某人被指控之罪,但还须法院审理确定犯罪事实
例:
be accused of
If one enters a private house without asking for permission, he is likely to be accused of trespassing or even burglary.
假如某人未经许可擅入私宅,他就会因侵入或偷窃行为而受到控告。
be sentenced to
Today, I think this was the way God showed me that innocent people can be sentenced to death.
如今,我认为这是上帝在告诉我:无辜者也有可能被判死刑。

3.a few
a few/few/a little/little这四个词是大家经常混淆的:
表示肯定意义:a little / a few 有一点,
表示否定意义: little / few 几乎没有的
a few /few +可数名词复数 ,,,修饰可数名词
little / a little +不可数名词 ,,, 修饰不可数名词
