A British man accused of planning his wife’s murder while they were honeymooning in South Africa has lost a High Court appeal to block his being sent back to Britain until he is fit to stand trial. The judges ruled that Shrien Dewani can be sent back as long as the South African government pledges to return him to the United Kingdom should he ultimately prove unfit to be tried. Dewani’s lawyers had urged that he should not be sent back while he was unfit to stand trial. He is being treated for a depressive illness. His legal team can appeal the decision at the Supreme Court. Dewani is accused of hiring a crew of criminals to kill his wife, Anni Dewani, during a taxi ride in Cape Town last November, just over two weeks after their wedding.
    3. What can we learn about Shrien Dewani according to the court ruling?
    4. What was Dewani accused of?
选项 A、He will be sent back even if he is unfit to stand trial.
B、He will remain in South Africa for medical treatment.
C、He will stand trial in South Africa once proved fit.
D、He will return to the U.K. for medical treatment.
答案 A
解析 新闻开头提到，Shrien Dewani向高级法院提出申诉，希望在适合出庭受审时才被遣返回英国，但他的申诉失败。法官裁决，若最终证明Shrien Dewani不适合受审，只要南非政府保证将他遣返回英国，Shrien Dewani可以被遣返。由此可知，A“尽管他不适合出庭受审也得被遣返”为答案，同时排除C“一旦证明合适就在南非出庭受审”。法庭裁决没有提及治疗的问题，故排除B和D。
