"homicide" in Chinese (Traditional)
Definition
指一個人導致另一個人死亡。這是正式的法律用語，既可以指非法殺人，也可以在某些語境中指法律上不算犯罪的致死行為。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))
這個詞主要用於法律、警方和新聞語境，不常用於日常隨意對話。'Homicide' 比 'murder' 範圍更廣：'murder' 一定指非法且故意的殺人，而 'homicide' 在法律上可以是更中性的類別。常見搭配有 'homicide investigation'、'homicide detective'、'ruled a homicide'。
