A South African judge on Tuesday sentenced Oscar Pistorius, the Olympic and Paralympic star, to serve a maximum of five years in jail for the culpable homicide, or manslaughter, of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
周二，奥运会及残奥会明星奥斯卡•皮斯托瑞斯(Oscar Pistorius)因杀害其模特女友瑞瓦•斯滕坎普(Reeva Steenkamp)，被南非法官以过失杀人罪判处五年监禁。他将为此在监狱度过最多五年时间。

Pistorius was also given a three-year suspended sentence for contravening the firearms control act by firing a pistol in a busy restaurant, to run concurrently. This will be suspended for five years “on condition that within the period of suspension the accused is not found guilty of a crime where there is negligence involving the use of a firearm”.
此外，皮斯托瑞斯还因为在繁忙的餐馆开枪而违反枪支管控法案，被判处三年缓刑，与上述判决一并执行。这意味着后者将会缓期五年后执行，“条件是缓刑期间被告不得出现与使用枪支有关的过失犯罪”。
Delivering the lengthy 70-minute judgment, Judge Thokozile Masipa said it was “a sentence that is fair and just, both to society and the accused”. She said a non-custodial sentence “would send the wrong message to the community”, while adding that “on the other hand a long sentence would not be appropriate as it would lack the element of mercy”.
在长达70分钟的判决宣读过程中，Thokozile Masipa法官表示，“不论对于社会还是对于被告，这一判决都是公平而又公正的”。她表示不判处监禁“会向社会传递错误信号”，并补充说“另一方面，监禁时间过长也不合适，那样就显示不出法律的仁慈一面”。
After the court adjourned, Pistorius was led down to the holding cells. The Steenkamp family’s lawyer told reporters that “justice was served today” adding that the five-year term was “the right sentence”.
休庭后，皮斯托瑞斯被带往看守所。斯滕坎普家族的律师告诉记者，“正义在今天得到了伸张”，并补充说五年的判决“十分恰当”。
The decision is the final chapter of a dramatic and sometimes controversial trial that has captivated a global television audience.
皮斯托瑞斯一案极富戏剧性并在审判期间多次引发争议，一直吸引着全球电视观众的注意。如今的裁决为该案画上了句号。
