South Korea's notorious child sex offender released from prison amid outrage (From: The Star)
无注释原文：
Protests Erupt as South Korea’s Most Notorious Rapist Walks Free
The New York Times
South Korea's most infamous rapist was released on Saturday after serving 12 years in prison, sparking angry demonstrations and anonymous death threats that led to an increased police presence outside the predator’s home.
Protesters gathered outside a prison in southern Seoul on Saturday, shouting “Send him to hell!” and “Castrate him!,” as the rapist, Cho Doo-soon, was released.
Mr. Cho was arrested in 2008 and later convicted of raping an 8-year-old girl, and his name has since become synonymous with the lenient treatment sex offenders are said to receive in the country's courts.
When Mr. Cho, now 68, was released at dawn on Saturday, people were still enraged.
“What kind of country is this, protecting such a rapist?” protesters shouted as Mr. Cho was driven out in a gray government van under heavy police protection.
Some protesters lay on the pavement, holding signs and shouting slogans, in an attempt to prevent Mr. Cho from leaving. Police officers removed them and built barricades to allow the van carrying Mr. Cho to pass. Protesters kicked at the van and hurled eggs and insults at the vehicle. Anonymous death threats were issued against Mr. Cho online, forcing the authorities to add more police officers and surveillance cameras around his home.
Public anger has surged in recent months as the date of Mr. Cho's release approached. Last Wednesday, the National Assembly passed a bill, nicknamed the “Cho Doo-soon law,” which banned people convicted of sexually assaulting minors from leaving their homes at night or during hours when students commute to and from school. The law also bans such sex offenders from going near schools.
South Korean courts have long been accused of leniency in meting out justice to white-collar criminals and sex offenders.
Mr. Cho's pending release from prison had captured the attention of many South Koreans and the local news media for weeks. The Justice Ministry had not revealed from which prison Mr. Cho would be released on Saturday or at what time. But hundreds of protesters and journalists found out and gathered outside the Seoul prison from which he was released, at a Justice Ministry facility in Ansan south of Seoul where Mr. Cho made a brief stop, and at a house in Ansan where he planned to live with his wife.
Ansan residents have protested his return home, saying that they don't feel safe with him in their neighborhood.
The police promised round-the-clock monitoring. Mr. Cho was seen wearing an electronic ankle monitor when he left prison on Saturday and has been ordered to wear it for seven years. His whereabouts and photograph will be available on a government website for registered sex offenders.
The police also installed a monitoring system at his home and will make random visits there to check on him. They also have added 35 surveillance cameras, brighter streetlights and police booths in Mr. Cho’s neighborhood to monitor his movements and to deter people who have threatened to attack him. Police officers specially trained in martial arts will patrol the neighborhood.
Mr. Cho, wearing a cap and mask, did not respond to questions shouted by reporters on Saturday. But Ko Jeong-dae, a Justice Ministry official assigned to supervise Mr. Cho during his post-prison life, said Mr. Cho was surprised by the rage directed at him.
“While we were moving in the car, he told me he hadn't expected this,” Mr. Ko told reporters in a briefing. “He said he had committed an unpardonable atrocity and he would live in repentance for the rest of his life.”

Protests Erupt as South Korea’s Most Notorious Rapist Walks Free

infamous
infamous表示“臭名昭著的，声名狼藉的”，英文解释为“famous for something considered bad”，infamous一词很容易混淆，以为famous是“著名的”（well-known），infamous就是其反义词，实际上infamous也是“著名的”，只是因为“something bad”而著名，同样是well-known，只不过是for something bad而著名。
📍那么，要说不出名，不著名呢？一种说法是unfamous，不过，这个说法比较争议，不太被认可，不常用，通常你可以说not famous.
📍Unfamous is a somewhat controversial word. It means not famous or not widely known about or respected. It is controversial in the sense that some dictionaries from the United States recognize it as a word, but most spellchecks on computers do not. European dictionaries tend to not recognize it either.
predator

Police officers removed them and built barricades to allow the van carrying Mr. Cho to pass. Protesters kicked at the van and hurled eggs and insults at the vehicle. Anonymous death threats were issued against Mr. Cho online, forcing the authorities to add more police officers and surveillance cameras around his home.
一些抗议者躺在路面上，举着牌子，喊着口号，试图阻止赵斗顺离开。警察将他们赶走，并筑起路障，让载着赵斗顺的面包车通过。抗议者踢打面包车，并向车内投掷鸡蛋。网上发出了针对赵斗顺的匿名死亡威胁，迫使官方在他家周围增加了更多的警察和监控摄像头。
