周四，最高法院稱，在全國(guó)開展的食品安全整頓活動(dòng)中，有700多人被判刑，但其中并無(wú)政府官員。
專家稱，新刑法規(guī)定，如果政府官員對(duì)生產(chǎn)銷售問(wèn)題食品的行為睜一只眼閉一只眼的話，也將面臨刑事處罰。不過(guò)這一規(guī)定的貫徹執(zhí)行還需要一定的時(shí)間。

請(qǐng)看相關(guān)英文報(bào)道：
More than 700 people have been sentenced amid a nationwide food safety campaign, the top court said on Thursday, but none of them were officials.
Experts said the new Criminal Law - which subjects officials to criminal penalties if they turn a blind eye to the production and distribution of unsafe food - still needs time to be implemented.

【解析】

報(bào)道中的"sentence"作動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候就是“判刑”的意思。此外，我們還可以用"condemn"表示這個(gè)意思。并且這兩個(gè)詞都可以用"sentence/condemn?somebody to something" 的模式，意思是“判處某人以某刑”。

例句：

The humbug was sentenced to three years' imprisonment.
那個(gè)騙子被判了三年徒刑。

The assassin was condemned to death.
該刺客被判死刑。

It is unlawful to condemn a man without a hearing.
沒(méi)有進(jìn)行審問(wèn)就給人判刑是違法的。
