II. Text-related information
Scotland Yard: the London Metropolitan Police, including the famous Criminal Investigation department (CID). The headquarters was moved in 1890 and again in 1967 and is now called New Scotland yard. It maintains criminal records for the entire United Kingdom and has a special branch that guards visiting dignitaries. I t also maintains links with Interpol and assists in the training of police personnel in Commonwealth countries. Its fingerprint division was the prototype of similar systems used by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and by many other modern police foces.
III. Introductory Remarks
As we know, fingerprinting is one of the earlist forms of scientific evidence to be recognized by courts of law, and fingerprint records can be used for identification, despite changes in an individual’s appearance or age. But now more and more controversies have emerged in the scietific community over the use of fingerprinting in criminal investigations. A growing number of defendants have called into question the fingerprinting method used to prove guilt rather than just establish innocence. In particular, they are arguing for the possibility that their “ prints” have been “lifted” and planted at scenes of crimes. Is it possible? What will be the final say of the committee of criminal lawyers and what will be the result of the investigation ordered by justice? The passage will tell you something about the issue.

VI.Summary of Unit 8 (B)
Fingerprints, which are usually used for identification purpose, are now in the dock themselves because more and more defendants claim that their prints have been lifted and planed at scenes of crimes. Lawyers, judges and policemen, are questioning if fingerprints can be produced in court as evidence when the objects with the prints are not necessarily shown there. Though it is almost impossible for people to lift a finger mark and transfer it to another object, it can be done anyhow. Ex-Chief Superintendent Squires would like the old method of photographing prints and producing them together with the object pictured to be generally used again.,

Text B
PRE-READING TASK
1. What is the role of the fingerprints in criminal charge ?
What is the problem of the fingerprints presented here ?
Now read the passage and chech your answers.
The Finger of Suspicion
Fingerprints, one of the great deciders of innocence or guilt in criminal charges, are now in the dock themselves. This is because of a growing number of claims from defendants that their “prints” have been “lifted”and planted at scenes of crimes. And these allegations are being taken serious!y by lawyers, judges and pdicemen because it is possible to move a fingerprint from one spot and place it e|sewhere.
With one of the cornerstones of evidence now being placed in doubt a committee of criminal lawyers is carrying out an inquiry into fingerprinting19. The investigation has been ordered by Justice, the prestigious legal organization, and a report is due early next year. Last night a spokesman for justice said:”There are an increasing number of cases where peop!e are claiming their prints have been transferred and put on incriminating objects.We are not aiming to establish if these allegations are true or not, but we are questioning current fingerprinting methods as part of a general investigation into scientific evidence. Some of Britain's top criminal lawyers are worried about this increasing number of claims.”
How can a fingerprint be transferred? A fingermark left on a greasy glass or some other smooth surface can be “lifted” with a strip of adhesive. It can then be deposited on another, perhaps incriminating object. Accusations about “planted prints”were first put up at an Old Bailey IRA bomb trial nine years agowithout success. Fingerprints at the scene of a crime used to be dusted down with fine powder, photographed for identification purposes, then the pictures and the objects carrying the prints were produced in court.
However, since 1973 a new method of taking prints has been generally used in Britain. Police experts now use a strip of adhesive tape to “lift”a print which is then produced in court as evidence. Before 1973 the object on which the prints were founda bottle, dagger or a gun-used to be shown in court as wll. This is no ionger necessary. As a result criminals are claiming that their prints have been “lifted” and planted elsewhere. There have been two successful claims in the United States, though this line of defence has failed in Britain.
According to the ex-chief of Scotland Yard's fingerprint department, Mr Harold Squires, who is now an independent defence witness: “More than 55% of the cases I now get are making these claims. But so far I have not seen any fingerprint evidence that proves the allegations to be true. Petty crooks are always accusing the police of lifting their prints and planting them at the scene of a crime. ” According to ex-Chief Superintendent Squires, lifting a mark and transferring it to another object “requires great ski!l and trouble”. He added: “lt's almost impossible but it can be done. It can usually be easi1y detected by someone like me, but there is a chance that even I may not be able to tell.”
Mr Squires sees the new line of defence as an attack on the police by desperate men. He would like the old method of photographing prints and producing them together with the object pictured to be generally used agam.

指纹疑点
作为在刑事诉讼案中判定无罪与否的重要证据之一的指纹,现在它本身也被送上了审判台。因为, 越来越多的被告声称他们的 “指纹”已被 “提取” 并移植到犯罪现场。而且, 这些指控正受到律师、法官和警察的重, 因为把指纹从一个地方提取后转移到另一个地方是可能的。
鉴于作为重要证据之一的指纹已受到怀疑, 由刑事律师组成的委员会正在对指纹进行调查。这次调查是由享有极高声誉的司法组织一法律公会下令进行的, 预定明年初提交一份调查报告。律师公会的一位发言人昨天晚上说, “被告声称他们的指纹被移植到作案工具上的案例越来越多。我们的目的不是判断这些指控的真伪, 而是对现行的指纹检验法进行调查, 这种方法是进行一般性调查时作为取得科学证据而使用的英国一些权威刑事律师对这类指控日益增加感到担忧。”
指纹是如何被转移的呢? 留在油腻的玻璃上或其他的一些光滑表面上的指纹, 能够用一条粘胶带“提取”, 然后置于另一物品上, 或许就是作案工具上。9年前, 伦敦中央刑事法庭对爱尔兰共和军炸弹案进行审讯时首次提出了有关 “指纹移植”的指控, 但没有成功。过去总是用细微粉末撒在犯罪现场的指纹上面。然后拍下照片以供鉴别; 再把照片和带有指纹的物品同时在法庭上出示。
但是, 自1973 年以来, 英国广泛使用了新的提取指纹的方法。现在, 警察局的专家用一条粘胶带“提取” 指纹, 作为证据在法庭上出示。1973前, 带有指纹的物证, 如瓶子、匕首或手枪同时也要在法庭上出示。而现在没有这样做的必要了。结果, 许多罪犯声称他们的指纹是被“提取” 后移植到其他地方的。虽然这种辩护在英国未获得成功, 但在美国却有两个成功的案例。
据前任伦敦警察厅指纹处主任, 现在的独立辩护证人哈罗德·斯夸尔斯先生说,“我现在受理的案件中, 55% 以上的案件提出了这种抗诉。但迄今为止, 我还没有见到任何一种指纹证据可以证明这种抗诉属实。一些耍小聪明的不法之徒总是指控警察提取了他们的指纹, 然后转移到了犯罪现场。”据这位前任警官说, 提取印记再转移到另一物体上 “需要极高的技巧, 而且非常困难” 。他还补充说: “要做到这一点可能性很小, 但仍有可能做到。一般说来, 这种方法很容易被我这样的人识破, 但有可能即使是我也无法断定。”
斯夸尔斯先生认为, 这种新的抗诉手法是一些狗急跳墙的人对警察进行的攻击。他希望仍能采用在拍下指纹照片之后, 将照片与实物一并出示的老办法。

被动的翻译: 将英语被动句转译成汉语的判断句
汉语中常用 “ …是…的:” 这一句式来说明人和事物的客观情况。这种结构在语义上往往具有被动句的含义, 可以与英语中的被动结构相沟通。一般说来, 英语中用来说明客观情况的被动句都可以转译成汉语的这一句式。
常用结构译法介绍
“before”: “before” 作连词用时通常表示 “ 在…之前:”, 但是当 “before” 引导的从句前有表示
一段时间的词语时, 往往具有 “( 过了多久之后 ) 才…” 的含义 ; 若 “before” 之前的结构为否定式 , 则表示 "( 不多 久 ) 就… " 的意思。例如 :
1.It was a long time before I got to sleep again.
过了很长时间我才又睡着了。
2.It will be five years before we meet again.
