federal grand jury on Tuesday returned a new indictment against a man accused in the kidnapping of a University of Illinois scholar from China charging him with killing her.

周二联邦大陪审团对一名男子追加新的诉讼，该男子被指控绑架中国籍的伊利诺伊大学访问学者并将其杀害。

Brendt Christensen 28 now stands accused of kidnapping resulting in the death of 26-year-old Yingying Zhang. If convicted of the charge Christensen faces the death penalty or mandatory life in prison.

28岁的布伦特-克里斯滕森现被指控绑架了26岁的章莹颖并将其致死。如果被定罪，克里斯滕森将面临死刑或终身监禁。

Christensen was initially charged in the kidnapping of Zhang of Nanping China but not in her death. The new superseding indictment alleges Christensen intentionally killed her in 'an especially heinous cruel or depraved manner.' 

克里斯滕森最初被指控绑架了中国南平市的章莹颖，但未夺其性命。而这份新的替代起诉书则指控克里斯滕森以一种“令人发指的残酷和邪恶的方式”将其蓄意杀害。
  


It contends her death involved torture or serious physical abuse and that he did so 'after substantial planning and premeditation.'

它指出张的死因涉及折磨或严重的身体虐待，而这都是他在经过了“大量精心策划与预谋”后实施的。

The new indictment also alleges Christensen used a cellphone and a vehicle both instruments of interstate commerce to commit the offense.

新起诉书还称克里斯滕森使用了手机和汽车这两种可以跨州的工具实施了犯罪。

Zhang disappeared June 9 weeks after arriving at the central Illinois campus. Even though her body hasn't been found authorities believe Zhang is dead.

张在到达伊利诺伊市中心校区几周后于6月9日失踪。尽管她的尸体还未找到，但警方相信张已经遇害身亡。

The indictment also charged Christensen with two new counts of making false statements to FBI agents. 

该起诉书还指出克里斯滕森对联邦调查员说过两次谎。

It states Christensen lied when he told the FBI he stayed at his apartment and slept and played video games all day on June 9 'when he knew full well that he drove around the University of Illinois campus on the afternoon of June 9 and picked up YZ. as she was waiting for a bus.'

它指出克里斯滕森在6月9日接受联邦调查员调查时谎称自己当日整天待在公寓内睡觉、玩电子游戏，而他则心知肚明自己在6月9日当天下午开车经过伊利诺伊大学校区，在章莹颖等公交的时候将其接走。

It alleges Christensen lied when he said he dropped of an Asian female in a residential area shortly after picking her up.

它指称克里斯滕森说其开车接走她之后不久便让一名亚洲女性在某住宅区域下车的说辞是谎言。

Christensen has been held in the Macon County jail since his arrest by US Marshals. He is tentatively set to go to trial February 27.

克里斯滕森自被美国法警逮捕后一直关押在梅肯监狱。暂定他于2月27日接受审判。

Christensen's lawyer Robert Tucker said he had not seen the superseding indictment and had no comment.

克里斯滕森的律师罗伯特·塔克（ Robert Tucker）称其没有看到替代起诉书并对此没有做出评论。

Attorney Steve Beckett who represents Zhang's family said he had not spoken to them Tuesday but said the superseding indictment 'is not unexpected.'

章家法律顾问史蒂夫·贝克特（Steve Beckett）律师星期二表示，还没有和章家人谈论此替代起诉书，但表示这“并不意外”。

Beckett said Zhang's family remain in the Urbana area and intends to stay until she is found. 

贝克特律师表示章家人在章莹颖被找到之前将会一直留在乌尔班纳地区。

In July a prosecutor said in court that Christensen attended a vigil for Zhang after she went missing during which he 'explained the characteristics of his ideal victim' and pointed out those who matched them in the crowd.

七月，一名检察官在法庭上称，克里斯滕森在章失踪后还参加了为章举办的守夜活动，在这期间他说明了其理想受害者的特征，并指出那些在人群中与之匹配的人。

The shocking comments were recorded by FBI investigators. 

联邦调查局记录了这些令人震惊的评论。

Earlier authorities revealed that a website that hosted an 'Abduction 101' forum lixed Christensen to the kidnapping of Zhang. 

此前根据有关部门透露，在某网站上举办的“诱拐101”论坛与克里斯滕森绑架章这一案件有所关联。

Christensen's phone was used April 19 to visit the website - FetLife.com - including to view threads titled 'Perfect abduction fantasy' and 'planning a kidnapping' according to the federal complaint.

克里斯滕森的手机于4月19日访问了该网站——fetlife.com——根据联邦起诉书所述他有浏览过“完美的绑架设想”和“策划绑架”这两篇文章。

FetLife describes itself as 'the Social Network for the BDSM Fetish & Kinky Community' stressing in online policy statements that it is a place for consenting adults to trade advice and images of themselves and to arrange to meet. 

FetLife称其是个为“BDSM恋物癖和变态群体服务的社交网络”。其网上政策申明指出这是一个允许成年人交流建议和交换自己照片并安排见面的地方。

（译注：BDSM指的是bondage and discipline，dominance and submission，sadism and masochism（绑缚与调教、支配与臣服、施虐与受虐）

that poor girl and her family. O hope they find her body & one way or the other he deserves the death penalty

那个可怜的女孩和她的家人。希望他们能找到她的尸体，不管怎样他都该被处以死刑。

The Americans do it right when it comes to capital punishment. If this was Europe the murderer wouldn't see jail time (as that would deprive him of his rights) would be offered counseling and then would receive benefits.

当这事进展到死刑时，美国人这点做的正确。如果这是在欧洲的话，凶手根本不会面临监狱生涯（因为这会剥夺他的权利），会给他提供咨询服务，然后他就会得到些好处。

To those who have commented (correctly) that Illinois no longer has the death penalty ... I think this is a federal case. "A federal grand jury on Tuesday returned a new indictment" "The new federal indictment" etc.

致那些（正确地）评论伊利诺斯州不再有死刑的人…我认为这是一个联邦案件。像是”星期二联邦大陪审团提出一个新的起诉”或者“新联邦起诉”等。

He still may get it because he was indicted by a federal grand jury and kidnapping is a federal crime. Just saying.

他仍然有可能被判死刑，因为他是被联邦大陪审团起诉的，而且绑架是种联邦犯罪。就是说说而已。

That poor girl and her family. So much pain and sadness. I hope you are found Yingying so that your family can have some sort of closure. Brendt Christensen you will pay for the evil you have done. Maybe not in this lifetime but the next.

那个可怜的女孩和她的家人。太多痛苦和悲伤啊。我希望你们能找到莹颖，让她的家人多少有些安慰能做个了断。布伦特·克里斯滕森（Brendt Christensen）你会为你所犯下的罪孽付出代价。也许不是在这一生，而是下辈子。

Pincher Martin -> BlueSky1111

可怕的事情，我为莹颖和她的家人感到难过。可怜的女孩，我衷心祈祷被找到时她没有遇害...

He will never get the needle in Illinois. Ever since the governor who was jailed put a moratorium on it no one has been dusted. 

在伊利诺伊州他永远不会被判死罪。自从州长被监禁后，这事（死刑）就被延缓，因此再没死过人了。
