Sample Sentences

话也不能这么说。我看过好多研究统计，都说死刑与犯罪的升降并不具有必然的关系。好多人犯罪是迫不得已，再说碰到冤案怎么办？白白死一个无辜的人？
huà yě bùnéng zhème shuō 。wǒ kàn guo hǎo duō yánjiū tǒngjì ，dōu shuō sǐxíng yǔ fànzuì de shēngjiàng bìngbù jùyǒu bìrán de guānxi 。hǎo duō rén fànzuì shì pòbùdéyǐ ，zàishuō pèngdào yuān'àn zěnme bàn ？báibái sǐ yī ge wúgū de rén ？
You can't say that. I've seen a lot of research statistics, and they all say that the death penalty isn't necessarily related to the crime rate. A lot of people commit crimes because they are compelled to. Furthermore, what about when you run into a mistaken conviction? Kill an innocent person for nothing?
