美国总统特朗普的前私人律师迈克尔·科恩周三认罪，表示自己对掩盖总统的“肮脏行为”负有责任，纽约联邦法院判处科恩3年有期徒刑。请看本报周五的报道：

U.S. President Donald Trump’s former lawyer apologized Wednesday for covering up the “dirty deeds” of his ex-boss as he was sentenced to three years for multiple crimes including hush money payments implicating the U.S. president.

Pleading for leniency in a packed Manhattan courtroom before U.S. District Court Judge William H. Pauley III, Michael Cohen said he had been led astray by misplaced admiration for Trump.

报道中的dirty deed就是“丑事”，例如：

It surprised me how composed he could act no matter what dirty deed he’s doing.

我很惊奇他不管做什么丑事都能镇定自若。
