聽力原文及翻譯
Jury selection began Monday in the long-delayed trial of a man charged with murdering 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021, a case in which the suspect was ruled mentally unfit to face prosecution before pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.
周一，一名男子被控于2021年在科羅拉多州一家超市謀殺 10 人，該案的陪審團(tuán)選拔工作開始。該案的審判拖延已久，嫌疑人被裁定精神不適應(yīng)起訴，但因精神錯亂而拒絕不認(rèn)罪。
The outcome hinges on whether the defense can convince jurors that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 25, was so mentally ill at the time of the mass shooting that he failed to comprehend the difference between right and wrong and thus should not be held legally responsible for the killings.
審判結(jié)果取決于辯方能否說服陪審員，25 歲的艾哈邁德·阿里維·阿里薩 (Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa) 在大規(guī)模槍擊案發(fā)生時精神錯亂，無法理解是非之分，因此不應(yīng)為殺人事件承擔(dān)法律責(zé)任。
The basic facts of the case are not in dispute. Alissa stormed a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, about 28 miles (45 km) northwest of Denver, on March 22, 2021, armed with a legally purchased Ruger AR-556 pistol, which resembles an AR-15-style rifle.
案件的基本事實(shí)沒有爭議。2021 年 3 月 22 日，阿里薩闖入位于丹佛西北約 28 英里（45 公里）的博爾德的一家 King Soopers 雜貨店，手持合法購買的魯格 AR-556 手槍，該手槍類似于 AR-15 式步槍。
Police say he killed two people in the store's parking lot before shooting eight others to death inside the supermarket. Among those killed was a police officer responding to the scene. The shooting spree ended when a police officer shot Alissa in the leg, leading the gunman, wearing only his underwear, to surrender. He has remained in custody since the day of the shooting.
警方稱，他在商店停車場殺死了兩人，然后在超市內(nèi)槍殺了另外八人。遇難者中包括一名趕赴現(xiàn)場的警察。槍擊事件以一名警察射中阿里薩腿部而告終，槍手只穿著內(nèi)衣，被迫投降。自槍擊發(fā)生之日起，他一直被拘留。
Alissa is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder, in addition to dozens of counts of attempted murder, assault and weapons offenses stemming from the incident. A conviction would carry an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole. There is no death penalty in Colorado.
阿里薩被控10項(xiàng)一級謀殺罪，此外還有數(shù)十項(xiàng)與該事件有關(guān)的謀殺未遂、襲擊和武器罪。定罪將自動判處終身監(jiān)禁，不得假釋?？屏_拉多州沒有死刑。
