　　Petition

　　请愿书

　　Dear Judge and Jurors,

　　尊敬的法官即陪审员，

　　juror：n. 陪审员

　　We are citizens of different countries.

　　我们是来自不同国家的公民。

　　citizen：n. 公民

　　From November 2016, when we learnt from the news that JIANG Ge, a Chinese girl who studied in Japan, was murdered there, we gradually learn about some knowledge on the laws in Japan, and get to know people are seldom sentenced to death due to killing a person.

　　2016年11月开始从新闻中得知中国留日女学生江歌在日本被害案件的发生，逐渐了解到一些日本法律，我们听说日本的法律杀害一人很难判处死刑。

　　murder：vt. 谋杀;seldom：adv. 很少;be sentenced to death：被判死刑

　　犯罪嫌疑人陈世峰

　　The suspect CHEN Shifeng transferred his anger on an innocent person due to his private feelings. He disguised himself and premeditated and planned to hide himself at the entrance of JIANG Ge’s house in the early morning. He unscrupulously killed JIANG Ge since LIU Xin closed the door, and stabbed JIANG Ge, an unarmed and delicate girl, for 10 times with a knife, which was really brutal and flagrant.

　　我们认为嫌疑人陈世峰仅仅因为与当事人刘鑫有私人感情恩怨，就迁怒于无辜旁人，乔装改扮后有预谋有计划的在凌晨时间隐藏在江歌家门口，蓄意杀人，刘鑫进屋关了门，陈世峰就丧心病狂的残杀无辜的江歌，刺了一个手无寸铁的柔弱女孩10刀，手段极其残忍，罪大恶极。

　　suspect：n. 嫌疑人;transfer：vt. 迁移;innocent：adj. 无辜的;disguise：vt. 乔装打扮;premeditate：vt. 预谋;unscrupulously：惨无人道地、不分青红皂白地;stab：捅;unarmed：手无寸铁的;brutal and flagrant：残忍的、明目张胆的

　　As compatriots living in a foreign country, people should help and be kind to each other. On the contrary, CHEN Shifeng killed an innocent person due to small love affairs. After killing JIANG Ge, he covered up the crime, destroyed incriminatingevidences, refused to admit his guilty after being arrested and showed no regret on his crime, which has greatly hurt the Grandma and Mother of JIANG Ge physically and mentally, making them live in deep sorrow and not able to live normal lives. The savage act of CHEN Shifeng has destroyed the lives of the whole family of JIANG Ge.

　　本是在异国的同胞，要互相帮助，友善友爱。陈世峰却因自身恋爱小问题，残杀无辜，杀人后为了掩盖罪行，销毁罪证，被逮捕后拒不认罪，没有一点悔罪表现，给江歌的妈妈和姥姥在痛失至亲后增加了更大的身心伤害，致使江歌妈妈和姥姥每天生活在痛苦中，完全无法恢复正常生活，陈世峰的暴行毁了江歌整个家族的生活。

　　compatriot：同胞; love affairs：感情纠葛;cover up the crime：掩盖罪行;incriminating evidences：定罪的证据;savage act：野蛮行径

　　There is no reason for CHEN Shifeng to take away the life of an innocent person, and he knows nothing about the meaning of life and arbitrarily destroyed other people’s life. He doesn’t deserve a second chance. CHEN Shifeng shall pay corresponding price for his crime, and we hereby appeal the Japanese laws to protect the human rights of law-abiding citizens, and sentence the suspect CHEN Shifeng to death. Thanks for your efforts made to uphold justice!

　　陈世峰没有任何理由强取豪夺⼀个⽆辜⼈的⽣命，陈世峰根本不懂⽣命的意义，肆意残害他⼈⽣命，不具有任何重新改造的价值!陈世峰应该为⾃⼰的罪⾏付出相应的代价，我们恳请⽇本法律保护守法公⺠的⼈权，判决嫌疑⼈陈世峰死刑。感谢法官们为维护法律，伸张正义所付出的努⼒!

　　arbitrarily：肆意地;corresponding：相应地;appeal：呼吁;law-abiding citizens：守法公民;uphold justice：伸张正义

　　最后，还是想讲讲刘鑫母女。

　　如果这只是一起单纯的杀人案，应该不会在网络上引起如此震动。正是刘鑫母女--作为“被帮助者”，面对恩人，摆出这幅嘴脸，实在令人发指。这让人民群众去哪里安放我们内心深处的良心和道德?

　　她们虽然没犯法，无法受到法律的制裁。但是法不禁止皆可为吗?如果每一个被帮助者毫无感恩之心，认为别人的帮助是理所当然，那这个社会还有什么温暖可言?

　　我想，刘鑫母女唯一的正面作用就是：提醒和告诫所有善良的人们，这个世界上还是有坏人的，交友必须谨慎!
