Bonus translaiton exercise 8 -- news translation
A top Chinese judicial official says China is considering expanding the use of lethal injections for death sentences instead of execution by gunshot. A report Thursday in the state-run China Daily newspaper quotes the vice president of the Supreme People's Court, Jiang Xinchang, as saying that lethal injections were more humane and notes that already half of the country's Intermediate People's Courts, which carry most of the executions, use lethal injections to carry out executions. Jiang said that lethal injections will eventually be used by all intermediate people's courts. He stopped short, however, of giving a date for the change.
Human rights groups frequently criticize China's use of the death penalty and lack of transparency regarding its statistics.

中國司法部門一名高級官員說，中國正在考慮擴大使用藥物注射方式執行死刑，來替代槍決。 中國官方的中國日報，在星期四了報導一篇引用最高人民法院副院長Jiang Xin chang（江興長）的話，用藥物注射方式代替槍決更加有人性，已經有半數的中等人民法院，使用藥物注射執行死刑。江說未來中等人民法院將會完全使有藥物注射方式。然而，他停止發表，給予改變的日期。
人權組織經常批評中國使用死刑及缺乏統計資料的透明度。
Dear Angel,
1. The following translations are not quite right:
然而，他停止發表，給予改變的日期。
缺乏統計資料的透明度
ㄧ位中國最高法院的官員表示中國現正考慮以執行注射毒劑處死的方式,取代槍斃。並且國立中國日報星期四的一篇報導中引用了最高人民法院副院長姜興長的說詞,根據他的敘述注射毒劑是較人性化的,而一半以上的中等人民法院大都已採取這種方式執行死刑。姜副院長說注射死刑最終會被運用於所有的中等人民法院。他停頓了一下,接著說無論如何那天會到來。人權團體經常批評根據他們的統計中國死刑的執行缺乏透明化。

Dear Crystal:
1. The following passage sounds not quite right:
姜副院長說注射死刑最終會被運用於所有的中等人民法院。他停頓了一下,接著說無論如何那天會到來。人權團體經常批評根據他們的統計中國死刑的執行缺乏透明化。
When translating from English to Chinese, avoid using passive voice, such as "注射死刑最終會被運用於所有的中等人民法院."
2. What is your student number, by the way?

據中國政府高層官員表示：中國正在考慮擴大以注射死刑來代替槍斃死刑。「注射死刑為較人道的處決方式，且已有一半以上的中級人民法院以注射方式處決死刑犯」官方中國日報引述自最高人民法院法官江欣辰先生。江先生簡短補充：「注射死刑終將成為所有中級人民法院最終使用的死刑處決方式。」給予各市法院緩衝時間。
人權組織時常抨擊中國執行死刑處決，而關於這方面統計資料卻又模糊不清。
