（单词翻译:单击）

12月27日，北京市第二中级人民法院依法对原国土资源部原部长田凤山受贿一案作出一审判决，以受贿罪判处被告人田凤山无期徒刑，剥夺政治权利终身，并处没收个人全部财产。

请看报道中的这样一句话：Tian Fengshan, former minister of land and resources, was sentenced to life imprisonment1 yesterday for accepting bribes2 worth 4.36 million yuan (US$538,000).

报道中的life imprisonment意思是“无期徒刑”，imprisonment指“关押；监禁”，life imprisonment可以解释为“终身监禁”，也就是“无期徒刑”。
