Carnal knowledge

用法学习: 1. carnal [ˈkɑː(r)n(ə)l] relating to or involving sex or the body. Carnal knowledge is an archaic or legal euphemism for sexual intercourse. In criminal law, the phrase has had different meanings at different times and in different jurisdictions. While commonly a mere euphemism for sexual intercourse (not necessarily unlawful), different jurisdictions have defined carnal knowledge (as well as sexual intercourse) as a specific sex act such as contact between a penis and vagina, some laws elaborating this to include even "slight penile penetration of female sex organs". The definition sometimes includes a set of sex acts that include sodomy, while some statutes specifically exclude such acts. Some laws do not define the term, and leave it to the courts to give it meaning, which also allows them to take into account changing community standards. Carnal knowledge has also sometimes meant sexual intercourse outside of marriage, and sometimes refers to sex with someone under the age of consent. The phrase is often found in this sense in modern legal usage, being equivalent to statutory rape in some jurisdictions, as the term rape implies lack of consent. carnal abuse: genital contact between a male and a female minor with or without penetration and with or without the consent of the female; broadly: rape especially of a female child. any lascivious contact by an adult with the sexual organs of a child (especially not involving sexual intercourse). sexual intercourse with a person (girl or boy) who has not reached the age of consent (even if both parties participate willingly). lascivious [ləˈsɪviəs] sexually interested or active in an unpleasant and unwelcome way. Wanton; lewd, driven by lust, lustful. wanton [ˈwɒntən] I. old-fashioned, showing disapproval Lewd, immoral; sexually open, unchaste. a wanton woman has sex with a lot of men. II. Capricious, reckless of morality, justice etc.; acting without regard for the law or the well-being of others; gratuitous. III. causing harm or damage for no reason. a trail of wanton destruction. 2. Kate Winslet接受采访: Since the 1997 release of "Titanic," fans have been wondering whether Rose (Kate Winslet) really had to let Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) slip into the icy waters to freeze to death. Now, Winslet has admitted Rose probably could've saved her star-crossed lover, simply by sharing. "I think he could have actually fit on that bit of door," she said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The question of the door came back up when Winslet gave DiCaprio a big hug at the SAG Awards after her former co-star won the Best Actor trophy for his role in "The Revenant." That ignited a flurry on 引起骚动, 引起一阵悸动, 一阵激动, 一阵骚动 ( I. a small amount of snow, rain, or leaves blown around in a twisting movement. small flurries of snow. II. [usually singular] a short period of activity or emotion.

Empathy is the ability to share another person's feelings and emotions as if they were your own. Having begun my life in a children's home, I have great empathy with the little ones. 孩子同理心的培育: During the second year of life, children begin to develop concern for other people, and often try to comfort them. This is called empathy, and it's an important part of children's emotional development. For example ... Some days, it just doesn't pay to be an adult. Your boss piles on another project. A client rejects your work. As you slowly walk toward the car, you find that the slow leak in the tyre has finally become a completely flat tyre. When you arrive home, there is nothing to do but sit on the couch and turn on the television. Then you notice your toddler standing a few feet away, his brow furrowed with concern眉毛担心的拧在一起. He wobbles 跌跌撞撞的 toward you, climbs into your lap, and asks, 'Daddy?' Then he does what he does best – he hugs you. And of course, it works like a charm. You feel better right away. He's showing you empathy. And he's only two years old. We might all be born with a biological bent toward empathy. Babies start at birth with the ability to respond to the emotions of others, imitating the facial expressions of their caregivers or bursting into tears if they hear another baby cry. Teaching empathy? This might sound strange if you think of empathy as a talent--something we either have or lack. But research also suggests that empathy is a complex phenomenon involving several component 组成技能, 技能组成 skills: A sense of self-awareness and the ability to distinguish one's own feelings from the feelings of others. Taking another person's perspective 站在别人的立场看问题 (or, alternatively, "putting oneself in another person's shoes"). Being able to regulate one's own emotional responses. These skills might seem like standard-issue, grown-up social skills, and indeed they are. However, even adults can have trouble with these abilities. For instance, some adults would shrink from offering a wounded person first aid, not because they are callous but because they have trouble coping with their own emotional reactions to the other person's plight不幸. So I don't think of empathy as something you either have or lack. There are degrees of empathy, and, with practice and an understanding of psychology, we can probably develop stronger empathic skills. 4. eat someone up 侵蚀, 噬虐, 噬咬 dominate the thoughts of someone completely. "I'm eaten up with guilt". eat it up also eat something up = lap up something to enjoy something completely She has the kind of cheery voice that adults might dislike but little kids just eat it up. Etymology: based on the literal meaning of eat something up (to finish the food you have).

The specific date for the task is not driven by any event, stakeholder dependency, or other materially constrained timeframe. In other words, there is no real pain (or missed opportunity) that will occur at the moment you pass that exact date. And that's the problem—they are easy to ignore or keep pushing out. what's good for the goose is good for the gander 他行你也行, 他能做你也能做 I.

It appears the seductive 勾人的, 魅惑的, 诱惑的 1D hunk — who reportedly possesses some impressive method acting skills, according to E! Online — may indeed be able to adapt to any scenario he inhabits and create the desired effect. The fan reveals that Harry's breathing is extremely slow and everything about him is calming. The One Direction star is indeed known for his slow, deep manner of speaking, which may be linked to this slow breathing the fan observed. During 1D Day, Louis Tomlinson actually described Harry's way of speaking as "morbid". In an interview with Sunrise in Australia, the female reporter noted that Harry has an intense stare 热切的目光 — his gaze does not waver from you, as if he is indeed drinking up the moment and broodingly assessing the situation( brooding I. literary making you feel as if something bad or dangerous is about to happen. II. looking as if you are thinking and worrying about something. the brooding expression in his dark eyes.). At 5:01 of the video, the blonde presenter makes a comment about it. "Harry's got an intense stare, hasn't he?" Her brunette companion agrees heartily. "Hasn't he! That's what I thought. He does. He just sits there and stares at you." The interviewers agree that the One Direction boys are lovely. A bit of banter about whether the boys are media-managed or genuinely polite follows, with the trio agreeing that it appears genuine and that there is nothing wrong with good manners. Back to Harry's fateful recent hug with a fan: the Harry-lover reveals that Styles nuzzled her neck and breathed in as if he wanted to inhale her, like a bouquet of flowers! 6. 12岁男孩大骂警察: The disturbing video emerged yesterday showing a number of young boys spitting and swearing at police with the 12-year-old so enraged he needed to be restrained in handcuffs. Police in the video can be heard explaining to the mother that her son was suspected of throwing rocks at cars and buses in the area. The boy was under arrest for "throwing rocks at passing 过路的 vehicles" and boasted he would bash police if they were not wearing badges. "Take me f ... ing handcuffs off my wrist bra … you're lucky you're a cop," the boy can be heard saying in the video. "Mum this c ... walked straight up … you walked straight up to me and said my name you stupid pig. F ... that's why you're pissing me off you dumb dog." After he is released from the handcuffs the boy tells police: "You're lucky you've got a badge or I'd kick your ass." A police spokesman said last night: "Sadly this is the sort of stuff we have to put up with all the time." The boy's mother, who filmed the video in December, claims her son is regularly targeted by police. She said in an exclusive interview with 7 News: "It's constant harassment, every where he goes, doesn't matter where he is, the police see him, they stop him." The boy claims the officer already knew his name, and a struggle for the boy's details ensues. Many viewers of the video have commented on the language of the children, with the eldest being no more than 13 years of age. "What despicable behavior from these children," one woman posted on Facebook. "If my children ever spoke like that to anyone they would know what a good backhand was." A 12-year-old boy accused of throwing rocks at passing cars has been filmed by his mother launching an ugly tirade against the police officers that arrested him. His mother, who is recording the incident, tells one of the other young boys also believed to be her son that she's going to 'whack him right in front of the police'. 'Stop swearing, settle down', one of the police officers tells the child who is angrily pacing back and forth 走来走去. 'Can you please take these off, there you go, I used my manners(mind/watch your manners to make a ​special ​effort to be ​polite: His ​mother ​taught him to always ​mind his ​manners with his ​elders. You're in my ​house so you'd ​better ​watch ​your ​manners.)', the boy says. The other officer in the video is taking down the woman's details and those of her children while the mother continues to film the 12-year-old. The boy continues to yell at the cops to take off his handcuffs, calling them 'pigs', 'dirty dogs' and a plethora of other derogatory terms. 7.

Performing her new song 'Formation', Beyonce joined Bruno Mars for his mammoth hit 'Uptown Funk', with Mark Ronson. Social media reactions have largely focused on Beyonce's stand-out performance and the overall theme of love. 意外而死: The tragic death of a 23-year-old man who slipped 滑了一跤 and fell off 失足摔落 a waterfall on the NSW Central Coast was witnessed by his mother and several horrified onlookers. Witnesses have described their desperate attempts to help the man after he lost his footing and fell 10m onto rocks at the popular picnic spot Somersby Falls yesterday afternoon. One woman wrote on Facebook that she saw the man's fatal plunge, and her male companion rushed to help him but "he died in his arms", Fairfax Media reports. "Life is so fragile and so precious. I was with his mother the whole time trying to help her. My heart breaks for her and the family he has left behind," she wrote. Another witness, Natalia, said a group of boys had helped paramedics carry medical equipment down to the waterfall, while another woman called triple zero and her husband also tried to help the injured man. "The work of everyone in rescue and emergency is beyond of words. We saw your work first hand and it left us speechless," she wrote. 新电影: It's been nearly 10 years since we last saw Matt Damon as Jason Bourne…and he's clearly spent the entire time working out.

 三十年前的惨案: It was there that a gang of five men randomly abducted 26-year-old nurse Anita Cobby, and after subjecting her to 遭受 hours of torture, took her to a paddock and savagely 野蛮残忍的 murdered her. Gordon Graham's fictional play The Boys - first staged at Griffin in 1991, adapted as a film in 1998 and about to return to Griffin in a new production - is described as a response to the crime that appalled the nation. "We went to Blacktown and looked at the environment and atmosphere," said actor Josh McConville, who plays the thuggish Brett Sprague in the drama. "A lot of people accept the play as an attempt to understand . . . how people could get to a state where that would happen." The Boys, he said, was a "particularly intense and visceral (  [ˈvɪsərəl] I. literary relating to basic emotions that you feel strongly and automatically. Having to do with the response of the body as opposed to the intellect, as in the distinction between feeling and thinking. a visceral 生理上的 hatred of cheaters. II. medical relating to the viscera. viscera [ˈvɪsərə] 内脏 the organs in your body, especially in your stomach. ) experience in the theatre". "The way the play interrogates the question of where violence comes from means that it's going to remain as confronting, challenging and important as when it was first performed," he said. He described Brett as "a bit a of psychopath". "He's been brought up in the wrong community, bad education, his father left him. He feels the world is against him at times, and then he gets sent to jail . . . He's very angry at the world." These are the chilling 渗人的, 吓人的 ( I. Causing mild fear.

In the first photo Murdoch, shoeless and shackled in handcuffs, shows detectives Ian Kennedy and Hugh Dundas the spot on Newton Road where he and his co-accused snatched Anita Cobby and threw her into a car. Then they drive the short distance to the bottom of Reed Road at Prospect, where Anita Cobby was raped repeatedly and then had her throat cut ( slit, slashed 割喉). Whiticker details how the gang of five stole a car, got drunk at Doonside and drove to Windsor looking to 想着 buy drugs. Mick Murphy later claimed they needed money for petrol and then they saw Anita Cobby walking down the road. 'We were just going to grab her handbag until John (Travers), "Let's take her with us.",' claimed his brother Gary Murphy. But what followed was a sickening sequence of physical and sexual assaults. She was raped, punched and kicked repeatedly in the car and had a knife held to her throat 顶着脖子, 刀顶着咽喉 to stop her screaming. They even stopped to put petrol in the car before driving to Reen Road. She was dragged through a barbed wire fence to a paddock, as her attackers argued who would have sex with her. Travers then cut her throat as she fought to stay alive. The book recounts how Travers was believed to have raped at least four other people including a teenage boy in WA. And it describes the depths of depravity ( [dɪˈprævəti] behavior that is immoral or evil. ) included celebrating his 18th birthday by having sex with a sheep and then cutting its throat. The extent of their savagery 残忍的程度, 凶残的程度 was best summed up on sentencing by Justice Maxwell on 19 June 1987, in which he said the killers were 'worse than animals'. 'Wild animals are given to 想当然就是要, 生来就是, 天生就是来 pack assaults and killings. However, they do so for the purposes of survival ... not so these prisoners,' he added. 'They assault in a pack for the purpose of satisfying their lust and killed for the purpose of [avoiding] identification.' Les Murphy is pictured revealing where he and his co-conspirators had burned her clothing in the backyard of John Travers' Doonside home. For detectives Ian Kennedy and Graham Rosetta, who were part of the team which solved 破案, 侦破 the horrific case, there is still the unthinkable 难以想象的, 不敢想的 that her killers may one day walk free. On the show she tells Seven News about their first meeting, and what surprised her most was Murphy's recollection of that night. "I mean, as soon as we're sitting there Gary's, you know, saying what happened that night and he's sort of rambling( I. a rambling speech or piece of writing is long and confusing. II. a rambling house has a lot of different parts and covers a large area. ramble I. 絮絮叨叨的, 不知所云的. to talk for a long time in a confused way, especially about other things instead of the subject that you should be talking about. II. to go for a long walk in the countryside for enjoyment. ). "And we were trying to follow it and I said, 'Look, what are you taking about, I'm talking about the night that Anita Cobby was killed'. "And he said, 'Oh well, I don't know, I don't know… I weren't there'." Pennells put to 提问, 问出来, 置于面前 Ms Johnson the persistent rumour that she and Murphy slept together. "Interesting rumour given that the only way I ever saw Gary was surrounded by prison guards and across a six foot table. "I was representing this person that everyone had already decided was guilty but nobody cared really what they had to say … So I think it was good they were like, you know, let's take this bitch out( take someone out I. informal to kill someone. a. to destroy something by attacking it with weapons.

It's a really good way and that's what people do. … "Anyone with any brains would just go, 'Oh how ridiculous'. "It just amazes me people love to believe shit and not let facts get in the way of a great dirty story," she told 7 News. Miss X had been married to Travers uncle and quickly began to suspect the 18-year-old was involved in Anita's murder after the public became aware of Anita's savage death. She approached police. They gave her a secret recording device. Travers named everyone involved. Shortly afterwards, Murdoch also confessed for Miss X's microphone. Twenty-six days after Anita died, all five men were in custody. The 26-year-old nurse had been savagely raped and beaten for hours. One of her attackers slit her throat so badly she was almost decapitated斩首, 脑袋都要掉下来了, 割下头来. Now, three decades later, her husband, witnesses and her loved ones have spoken of the savage crime which outraged not just Sydney, but the entire nation. But after marrying and moving to Coffs Harbour to start their married lives, the relationship hit what John called a 'hiccup'. Anita moved back home to Blacktown with her family. On a Sunday, not long afterwards, Anita vanished after leaving work at a Sydney hospital. John Cobby said the separation 分居 led him to blame himself for Anita's death ever since. He became a suspect early in the investigation. At one stage, he said he even confessed to the crime 认罪. His life spiralled out of control. He said he wanted to die. He tried heroin in the hope that he might overdose rather than live without Anita. A gang of 'loser thugs' had dragged 拖进车里 her into a stolen car after spotting her walking home from the train station at Blacktown. Locals heard her screams. A 16-year-old raced outside 冲到外边 to see what was happening. He saw a car with its lights turned off driving down Newton Road and the face of John Travers looking back at him. With a neighbour, they gave chase trying to find the car but to no avail. She was discovered several days later, face down and naked. Her eyes were still open. Her throat was slashed. There were signs she had fought for her life. The terror and agony of the atrocity, according to the police called to the scene, must have lasted hours. The men who subjected the young woman to such a brutal end had even stolen her money and used it to buy petrol for their car on their way to the field where they would kill her. A search of the crime scene failed to turn up any clues. Police feared the men could strike again. The race to capture them was urgent. Police were working 18 to 19 hours per day but there were no suspects. After a police re-enactment of Anita's walk home shored up the timelines of the crime, witnesses came forward reporting seeing a woman being dragged into a HJ Holden. A similar car had been reported earlier. The names Travers and Murdoch were mentioned in connection to the theft. Police swooped on the pair(swoop I. 俯冲. to move quickly and suddenly downwards through the air, especially in order to attack or catch someone or something. The aircraft swooped down over the fields in search of its target. We watched the hawk swoop on its prey. II. 突袭. 突击检查 to make a sudden and unexpected attack on a place. Police swooped on Blake's home yesterday. in/at one fell swoop with one sudden action, or on one single occasion. In one fell swoop he's destroyed everything we've achieved in the last year.), catching them in bed together in the early hours of the morning. Les Murphy was also arrested over the car theft. Police knew they had their men. They just didn't have the evidence to link them to the murder. The men responsible came from poor and troubled backgrounds. Travers was given up by his mother to state care after becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol in his early teens. They were characterised by those that knew them as 'unintelligent', petty or violent criminals, 'losers and thugs'. The police who had dealt with them in the past knew something much more sinister 邪恶的 would eventually happen by their hands. The public anger was such that a debate over the re-introduction of the death penalty ensued. A police officer, during the course of the trial, had admitted stepping on one of the men's heads during his arrest. Those in court all but applauded his matter of fact confession to that act. When the five men were sentenced never to be released, 'the roof blew off 掀翻屋顶 the court'. The public had the result it wanted. The depraved 十恶不赦的, 作恶多端的 (immoral or evil) killers would never walk free again. But for those who loved Anita Cobby, the pain of what happened in Blacktown and Prospect all those years ago will never fade. As speculation now emerges that, perhaps, the killers may one day walk free, John Cobby is resolute in how he would react if that were to happen. "I'd do what I should have done in the first place," he said. "Kill them all". Pennells said Mr Cobby still has vivid dreams about Anita including ones where he rescues the beauty queen from life-threatening situations, such as from an oncoming car. Other dreams involve walking into court and killing those responsible for her death, even though he doesn't know who they are. He is not the only one who fantasises about getting revenge on the five men involved. Anita's younger sister, who lived every blow to her sister as if it had been inflicted on her, also remains angry, as do police, Pennells said. He said some officers involved in the investigation left the force afterwards and some are still close to Anita's family. Anita was grabbed off the street while walking home from a suburban Sydney train station after work. She was pulled into a car with five men, who took her to a paddock and gang-raped her, breaking her fingers and dislocating other bones before one of them cut her throat so violently her head was almost severed from her body. When details of the crime became public, especially after radio host John Laws read out details of her injuries from a leaked post-mortem report live on radio, Australians demanded the return of the death penalty for the five men involved. Pennells interviews five of the police officers involved in the investigation and some of them struggle to contain their emotions 控制情绪. "These are hardened 心肠硬的, 铁石心肠的, 铁血汉子, 铁骨铮铮的, 心硬的, 刚强的 ( Unfeeling or lacking emotion due to experience; callous. The bloody scene could reduce even the most hardened soldier to tears. hardy Having rugged physical strength; inured to fatigue or hardships.

They get angry, even 30 years later it still brings up all this emotion. To actually see grown men cry about a crime that happened 30 years ago, it's extraordinary." Thirty years after the crime, John Travers, Michael Murdoch and the three brothers Leslie, Gary and Michael Murphy remain in jail. They are serving life sentences with no possibility of parole. But the brutality of their crime continues to resonate and has become part of Australia's DNA, Pennells says. "Everyone knows about this crime, even those who weren't born 30 years ago. There's something about this case, about Anita, that resonates, 30 years on it's still affecting people."
