(CNN)—A parole board is set to recommend that the disgraced athlete Oscar Pistorius, convicted in the killing of his girlfriend, be released from prison in August, South Africa‘s Department of Correctional Services told CNN on Monday.
(CNN)南非的狱政部周一告诉CNN，假释委员会将建议因杀害其女友而蒙羞的运动员奥斯卡·皮斯托瑞斯,8月份从监狱被释放。
Pistorius, 28, was sentenced in October to five years in prison for culpable homicide in the killing of Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine‘s Day 2013. In South Africa, culpable homicide means a person was killed unintentionally but unlawfully.
28岁的皮斯托瑞斯在10月份被判五年监禁，因为在2013年情人节，过失杀害他的女友Reeva Steenkamp。在南非,过失杀人意味着一个人因非故意的但不合法的方式被杀害。
Pistorius acknowledged firing shots through the bathroom door in his home, but said he thought there was an intruder in the bathroom rather than his girlfriend.
皮斯托瑞斯承认，在他的家中，向浴室门开枪，但是他说，原以为在浴室有入侵者，而不是他的女友。
Pistorius‘ fall from grace was one of the most dramatic since that of O.J. Simpson, the American football player turned sports announcer and movie star, who was charged with murder in the 1994 deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
皮斯托瑞斯的堕落自辛普森案以来最引人注目事件之一。辛普森是以前的美国足球运动员，后来成为体育播音员和电影明星,他被控在1994年谋杀前妻尼科尔·布朗·辛普森和她的朋友雷纳德·戈德曼。
Simpson was acquitted in a criminal trial but found responsible for the deaths in a subsequent civil suit.
辛普森在刑事审判被判无罪,但在随后的民事诉讼被发现对这两个人死亡负有责任。
Like Simpson, Pistorius was handsome, popular and wealthy from commercial endorsements when the charges were filed.
与辛普森类似，当受到指控，皮斯托瑞斯是英俊的,受欢迎的和因商业代言而富有。
In his 2014 trial, a judge found Pistorius to be not guilty of murder. Prosecutors are appealing that verdict.
在2014年的审判中,法官认为皮斯托瑞斯不犯有谋杀罪。起诉人对该裁决提出上诉。
Both of Pistorius‘ legs were amputated before his first birthday. In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Pistorius became the first athlete with both legs amputated to participate in the Olympic Games, running in the 400-meter race and the 4x400 meter relay.
皮斯托瑞斯的双腿在他的第一个生日前被截肢。在2012年夏季伦敦奥运会,皮斯托瑞斯成为第一个参与奥运会双腿截肢运动员,他参加了400米赛跑比赛和4x400米接力
Under South African law, Pistorius must serve at least one-sixth of his sentence -- 10 months -- before being released. The parole board is prepared to recommend that he be released on August 21, 10 months to the day since his sentencing.
南非法律规定,皮斯托瑞斯在被释放之前必须至少服刑判决的1/6即10个月。假释委员会准备建议，他将于8月21日被释放，因为自从他被宣判的那天已满10个月。
