  A different James Eagan Holmes, appearing in public for the second time since he was detained in connection with the July 20Colorado shootings at a midnight showing of a Batman movie, entered the Arapahoe County courtroom Monday where he was formally charged on a staggering 142 counts, including 24 counts of first-degree murder, 116 counts of criminal intent to commit murder.
  霍姆斯第二次公开亮相,与第一次以一身蝙蝠侠装扮露相不同的是,此次他是在法庭的审判席中,接受142项指控罪名。其中24项一级谋杀罪,和116项预谋谋杀罪。
  The handcuffed, 24-year-old Holmes, wearing a maroon jumpsuit and his signature mop of unkempt, orange-dyed hair, appeared more lucid than he did a week ago at his advisement hearing, looking ahead at District Court Judge William B. Sylvester from the defense table where he sat next to Arapahoe County public defenders Daniel King and Tamara Holmes.
  这名24岁的年轻人身穿褐色连体服,带着手铐,穿着蓬松的拖鞋,染成橘红色的头发,整个人看起来神志清晰了些,这是相对于他一周之前坐在审判法官面前的情形而言的。
  "He looked very alert and very sane," said Maryellen Hansen, aunt of 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, who was killed at the theater and her mother Ashley critically injured. Moser lost a baby she was carrying on Saturday, but legal experts say killing an unborn child will not be added to the list of murder charges against Holmes.
  一名6岁受害者的姑姑说:他看起来很机警而理智。该儿童的母亲同时受了重伤。一名孕妇因此次事件流产,但法律专家说导致未出生婴儿的死亡不会给霍姆斯增加额外的罪名指控。
  Hansen was one of the attendees at the Arapahoe County courthouse packed with victims and their families, law enforcement officials and the media. No cameras were allowed at the hearing because of a media gag order imposed by Sylvester last week.
  汉森是旁听席上的一员,与众多受害者的家属们一起,旁边坐着法警和媒体记者。旁听席上不准拍照,因为上周法官西尔维斯特发布了媒体禁令。
  "A conviction of First Degree murder carries a sentence from life-in-prison to death," Sylvester told Holmes.
  法官向霍姆斯宣布:“如果一级谋杀罪名成立,那么应判终生监禁或者死刑。”
  Penalties in the charges against Homes add up to more than 5, 000 years in jail, although Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers says she favors the Death Penalty.
  这些指控足够霍姆斯将牢底坐穿,因为高达五千年监禁,不过地区检察官说她更愿意让他直接一命呜呼。
  The murder charges against Holmes doubled as 12 charges of " premeditated" First Degree murder and 12 charges of "extreme indifference" First Degree murder. The 116 charges of attempted murder carry a maximum penalty of 48 years each.
  关于谋杀的罪名指控,有十二项是“有预谋的”一级谋杀罪名,另外还有十二项“极度漠视”谋杀罪名。116项预谋谋杀罪中每一项都可能判处最高48年的监禁。
  "He did look evil," said Hansen, "but much different from the first hearing where he just looked spaced out," she said.
  汉森说:“他看起来罪恶滔天,但是现在跟第一次看见他在审判席上不同,上一次似乎是嗑药了一样神志不清的。”
  Hansen said as a Christian she does not favor the Death Penalty, but would like to see Holmes tried as a terrorist and stay behind bars "living with what he did for the rest of his life."
  汉森还说,作为一个基督徒,她并不愿意看大他被处以死刑或者一辈子被关在监狱里“终身孤独”。
  Holmes will appear in court again on November 13 at a Preliminary Hearing that is expected to take most of that week, where more details of his crimes will be heard and his plea may be entered.
  霍姆斯下一次会在11月13日再次出席预审,预计审理此案会耗费数日,更多的细节将会被揭开,而他的辩护也将开始。
  Lawyers for the defense, prosecution and the media will reconvene at the Arapahoe County courthouse on August 9 at a status conference to discuss a gag order placed on court proceedings by Sylvester, as well as a motion of client privilege filed by Holmes" attorneys on Friday. These motions will be decided in a hearing a week later on August 16, according to Sylvester.
  辩护律师,检察官和媒体将会在八月九日再次在该法庭集合,商讨开庭审理期间的媒体秩序,以及霍姆斯的辩护律师提出的当事人特权事项。这些事情会在随后一周的预审中确,当然这也取决于法官西尔维斯特。
