绞刑

We passed the desiccated corpse of a brigand hanging on a gibbet.

我路过一具悬在绞刑架上的土匪干尸。

Hangings took place outside the prison as a public spectacle.

在监狱绞刑是为了示众。

The murderer was sent to the gallows for his crimes.

谋杀犯由于大恶极被处以绞刑。

He was hanged for his crimes.

他因犯而被处绞刑。

Hanging is an atrociously archaic way of killing a human being and the self - satisfied modernity of the electric chair is just as atrocious.

绞刑是一种不再使用的残忍的杀人方法，而人得意的现代电椅同样是残酷的。
