刘强东事件「盘点外媒相关表达」检方不起诉=无罪？
昨天，关于「京东CEO刘强东涉嫌性侵女大学生事件」终于有了结果。据刘强东道歉微博，“明尼阿波利斯市亨内平县检察官办公室宣布将不会对我提起任何指控，这个结果证明了自始至终我都没有触犯任何法律。”
而对于此事，吃瓜群众觉得还没有完，究竟“检方不起诉”是否等于“无罪”在微博上引发了广泛争论。
所以今天我们就一起来盘点下外媒的相关报道。
首先，我们看看明尼阿波利斯市亨内平县检察官办公室官方声明怎么说的。
明尼阿波利斯市亨内平县检察官办公室官方声明指出，不会对京东集团CEO刘强东先生提起任何指控。No charges will be filed against Chinese businessman Liu Qiangdong for an alleged sexual assault.
◉ VOA:
VOA给出的标题是：No Charges for Chinese Billionaire Accused of Rape
在导语中也提到了，Minnesota prosecutors decided not to charge Liu after a Chinese college student accused him of sexual assault.
charge
charge还是比较熟悉的，此处分别作名词(n.)和动词(v.)，表示“指控，控告”，英文解释为“(n.) an official statement by the police that someone may be guilty of a crime. (v.) to state officially that someone may be guilty of a crime”;（If the police charge someone, they officially tell that person that they are believed to be guilty of a crime and that they must go to court.）举个🌰：
(n.) He was found guilty of all three charges against him.
他被判三项指控都成立。
(v.) He has been charged with murder.
他被指控谋杀。
对比accuse和indict：
accuse
accuse也是“指控，控告”的意思，英文解释为“to say that you believe someone is guilty of a crime or of doing something bad”，举个🌰：
He faced a total of three charges, all accusing him of lying in his testimony.
他面临共3项控告，都指控他作伪证。
indict
表示“控告，起诉”，英文解释为“to officially charge someone with a criminal offence”，举个🌰：
He was later indicted on corruption charges.
他后来被控贪污。
He was indicted for vehicular homicide.
他因车祸致人死亡被起诉。
◉ 纽约时报（New York Times）:
标题：JD.com Chief Richard Liu Will Not Be Charged With Sexual Assault
导语：In Minnesota, the Hennepin County attorney's office said that it did not find enough evidence to pursue a sexual assualt case against Mr. Liu.
◉ 路透社（Reuters）:
标题：JD.com CEO will not face assault charges in Minnesota
导语：Minnesota prosecutors will not charge the billionaire chief executive officer of China's JD.com Inc, Richard Liu, after he was accused of rape by a University of Minnesota student during a recent U.S. visit, authorities said on Friday.
可以看到这些报道标题都大同小异，用的都是charge：won't be charged/ will not be charged/ won't face rape charge等等。
当然，也有例外的，比如Daily Mail和澳大利亚新闻网站PerthNow就都用到了clear一词。
◉ 每日邮报（Daily Mail）：
◉ PerthNow：
clear
此处作动词，通常用被动态，表示“证明…无罪；洗脱…的嫌疑”，英文解释为“to prove that someone is not guilty of something that they were accused of”，举个🌰：
He was cleared after new evidence was produced.
提出新的证据后，他得以洗清嫌疑。
guilty
可以注意到，clear及前面的英文解释中还提到一个说法be guilty of/ be not guilty of，我们再来看看guilty的英文解释：responsible for breaking a law，表示“有过失的，犯了罪的，有罪责的”，举个🌰：
A person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. 一个被指控犯罪的人在被证明有罪之前是假定无罪的。
innocent
例句中又冒出一个词innocent，其实是和guilty相对的，表示“清白的，无罪的”，英文解释为“not guilty of a crime”，举个🌰：
He's innocent of murder.
他没犯杀人罪。
此外，innocent也可以表示“无辜受害的，无恶意的，天真的，阅历浅的”等，如：innocent victims/bystanders/people 无辜的受害者/旁观者/人们等。
最后，我们看看BBC的具体报道：
◉ BBC：
标题：JD.com chief Liu Qiangdong will not face rape charges
Liu Qiangdong, the chief executive of Chinese e-commerce company JD.com, will not face sexual assault charges after his arrest in the US in September.
Mr. Liu
看看上文中各大标题中都是怎么介绍Mr. Liu的：
Liu Qiangdong, the chief executive of Chinese e-commerce company JD.com
JD.com chief Richard Liu
JD.com CEO
the billionaire chief executive officer of China's JD.com Inc, Richard Liu
JD.com's billionaire founder Richard Liu
Chinese billionaire Liu ...
Prosecutors said they had not found enough evidence to charge Mr Liu after he was accused of raping a Chinese student at the University of Minnesota. He denied wrongdoing and was released less than a day later to return to China.
"As is the case in many sexual assault incidents, it was a complicated situation," Hennepin County attorney Mike Freeman announced in a statement. The county said there were "profound evidentiary problems" which would have made proving the allegations in court "highly unlikely".
美国亨内平郡检察官弗里曼（Freeman）在声明中指出，这起案件与其他性侵犯案件类似，在分析监控录像画面、文字信息、警员身上的摄影器，以及目击证人的证词之后，当局认为无法提供确凿的证据，因此不能提控刘强东。
According to Forbes, Mr Liu currently has a net worth of $5.3bn (£4.2 bn). His arrest caused shock in China, where people speculated on social media that Mr Liu had been set up.
set up
表示“陷害；诬陷”，英文解释为“If you are set up by someone, they make it seem that you have done something wrong when you have not.”，举个🌰：
He claimed yesterday that he had been set up after drugs were discovered at his home.
家中被查出毒品后，他昨天声称是遭人陷害。
The company has faced recent troubles, announcing in November that its customer base had shrunk for the first time since 2014. Its shares hit an 18-month low the week after his arrest.
shrink
所谓的“缩水”，表示“(使)(数量、体积或价值)变小，减少，缩小”，英文解释为“to become smaller, or to make something smaller”，举个🌰：
The company's profits have shrunk from $5 million to $1 million.
公司利润从500万美元减少到了100万美元。
shrink还可以指“畏缩，退缩”，英文解释为：to move away from someone or something because you are frightened. 举个🌰：
She listened, shrinking under the blankets, to their shouts.
她缩在毯子下面听他们咆哮。
shrink from sth表示“逃避，躲避（令人不快或困难的事）”，英文解释为：to avoid doing something that is unpleasant or difficult，举个🌰：
We must not shrink from our responsibilities.
我们一定不能逃避责任。
而作为名词，shrink有个奇怪的意思，表示“精神病医生，精神科医生”（a psychoanalyst or psychiatrist）。

所以，你怎么看，
检方不起诉=无罪？
