懲一儆百

《溫故知新》
處決那名小偷,是為了懲一儆百。
*The execution of the thief was to make him an example to everybody.
*make an example of sb.
*punish one as warning to a hundred (or in order to warn many).
《懸樑自盡》
那名發狂的婦人剎了自己的孩子後,懸樑自盡。
*The crazy woman hung herself after she killed her own baby.
*hang oneself.
*commit suicide by hanging oneself from a beam.
《懸而未決》
那椿婦人謀剎案,仍然懸而未決。
*The case of the woman’s murder is still up in the air.
*not yet decided.
*outstanding . (文:Peter)
