“判刑”常见的英文表达是 “sentence”（作动词时） ，也可用 “condemn (someone) to a prison term/sentence” 来更详细地表达。以下为你分别举例：
含义：当“sentence”用作动词时，意为“判决；判刑”，通常直接接人（宾语）和刑罚内容（宾语补足语）。
例句：
The judge sentenced him to five years in prison for theft.（法官因他盗窃判了他五年监禁。）
She was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder.（她因谋杀被判处终身监禁。）
含义：这种表达更强调“宣判某人入狱服刑”这一行为，“condemn”有“宣告……有罪；判刑”的意思 ，“a prison term/sentence” 明确指出是“监禁刑期”。
例句：
The court condemned him to a ten - year prison term for drug trafficking.（法院因他贩毒判他十年监禁。）
