My View on the Death Penalty

In recent years, the deathpenalty has been aroused people’s attention and the heated discussions towardsit are right on their ways.

近年來(lái)，死刑引起了人們的關(guān)注，而且對(duì)于死刑的討論正在熱烈進(jìn)行著。

On the one hand, some people hold that the death penaltyshould not be canceled. They arguethat the death penalty can act as a threat or a limitation for the criminals. Ifthe death penalty is canceled, the criminals will be more cruel and crazy, andthat will be a bigger threat for people. In addition, cancelling the deathpenalty will weaken the effect of our laws.

一方面，有些人認(rèn)為死刑不應(yīng)該取消。他們討論認(rèn)為死刑可以作為對(duì)罪犯的威脅或限制。如果取消了死刑，罪犯會(huì)更加殘酷，更加瘋狂，這將是對(duì)人們的更大威脅。此外，取消死刑會(huì)削弱法律的作用。

On the other hand, some people considerthat the death penalty should be canceled. They point out that no matter whatthe criminals have done, they are still human beings. Each life is precious andwe should respect each life. Besides, we should give another chance for thecriminals to remedy their mistakes and amend themselves.

另一方面，有些人認(rèn)為死刑應(yīng)該取消。他們指出，不管罪犯做了什么，他們終究還是人。生命都是寶貴的，我們應(yīng)該尊重每一條生命。此外，我們應(yīng)該給罪犯一個(gè)彌補(bǔ)過(guò)錯(cuò)，改過(guò)自新的機(jī)會(huì)。

Taking above into consideration, I aminclined to agree with the former. I suggest that we should remain the deathpenalty. Although the latter is right in some extent, I do not agree that thosewho murder deliberately should be forgiven and pardoned. 

綜上所述，我傾向于同意前者的觀點(diǎn)。我建議保留死刑。雖然后者有一定的道理，但是我不認(rèn)為故意殺人的人應(yīng)該被原諒，被赦免。
