【读新闻学英语】香港大学副教授杀妻藏尸 还谎报失踪？

A University of Hong Kong professor whose wife's decomposing body was found in a suitcase in his office bought two sets of wooden boards to cover up the murder, fashioning one into a makeshift coffin and using the other as a decoy, a police source said.
一名警方消息人士称，在香港大学的一名教授的行李箱里发现了其妻子腐烂的尸体，他（该教授）买了两套木板来掩盖自己的谋杀罪行，并将其中一套制成一个临时棺材，并使用另外一套制造假象。
Decompose：（使）腐烂
Makeshift：临时的

Decoy：假象

But the plan of associate professor Cheung Kie-chung, 53, was foiled when officers discovered the double purchase and swooped on his office on Tuesday to find the corpse, according to a law enforcement source.
但是据一名执法人员称，当警方发现他购买了两套模板，并于周二突击搜查他的办公室发现尸体后，53岁副教授Cheung Kie-chung的计划被挫败。

The source said that, knowing CCTV cameras at Wei Lun Hall - where he lives and where the alleged murder took place - would film him moving the body from the building, Cheung made a box from six wooden boards.
消息人士说，Cheung居住的伟伦堂——谋杀案发生地的闭路电视摄像机拍到他将尸体带离大楼。他用六块木板做了一个箱子。
Wooden board：木板

He had already reported his wife missing since August 17, claiming she walked out after a row, so knew police were investigating.
他曾经报告称他的妻子自8月17日就失踪，他声称妻子在和他吵架后走出家门，所以知道警方正在调查。

He put the body in the box and took it to his office in the Haking Wong Building on HKU's Pokfulam Road campus.
他把尸体放在箱子里，把它带到香港大学薄扶林路校区的黄克竞楼内的办公室里。

"This box was well sealed with window glue, to prevent blood seepage and contain any smell emitted from the decomposing body," the source said.
“这个盒子被他用窗户胶密封地很好，以防止血液渗漏，也可以封存好从腐烂的尸体里排出的任何气味，”该消息人士说。

He said Cheung left the other set of boards in a workshop in the same building.
他说，Cheung将另一套木板留在了在同一栋楼的另一个工作室内。

Asked what happened to the box he was carrying in the CCTV footage, Cheung claimed he used it to deliver something, then dismantled it and left the pieces in the workshop.
当被问及CCTV拍到他运走箱子是在干什么时，Cheung声称他用箱子来运送东西，然后拆掉箱子并把木板留在了工作室里。
Dismantle：拆开；拆卸

But police soon discovered he had bought two sets of wooden boards and, noting that the CCTV footage never showed the wife leaving Wei Lun Hall, they made a surprise raid on Cheung's office and found the body there on Tuesday afternoon.
但警方很快发现他买了两套木板，并注意到CCTV录像里从未显示其妻子离开过伟伦堂，于是他们突袭击了Cheung的办公室，并于周二下午在那里找到尸体。

Cheung reported his wife missing on August 20, citing the dispute, which he said happened in the early hours of August 17.

On August 16, the wife argued with their daughter, apparently over toilet hygiene. The daughter, who is 28, left home.

The next day, the wife blamed Cheung for not supporting her during the earlier argument, sparking a row between the couple. After that, Cheung reported her missing.
