南非警方近日向津巴布韦前第一夫人格蕾丝·穆加贝发出逮捕令。后者多年前曾在南非攻击一名模特,但因被授予外交豁免权而免于受罚。请看本报周五的报道: South African authorities issued an arrest warrant for Grace Mugabe, the wife of Zimbabwe’s former leader who was accused of assaulting a woman in Johannesburg last year, marking another setback for the couple, who have kept a mostly low profile since the former president was forced from office in November 2017. The warrant made public Wednesday follows a long legal process during which a South African court this year ruled that the government acted illegally in granting diplomatic immunity to Grace Mugabe when the alleged attack was first reported. Robert Mugabe, whose command over Zimbabwe once seemed impregnable, is now 94 years old and ailing. 报道中的diplomatic immunity就是“外交豁免权”,immunity在这里表示“豁免权”,它更常见的意思是“免疫力”。 |
