美國眾議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖、眾議院共和黨二號人物迪萊28日被得克薩斯州一個地方陪審團(tuán)指控在競選籌資過程中犯有陰謀罪，這使得他被迫宣布暫時停職。他是美國一個多世紀(jì)以來首位遭指控的眾議院領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。請看報道：
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was indicted by a Texas grand jury
Wednesday on a charge of conspiring to violate political fundraising laws,
forcing him to temporarily step aside from his GOP post. DeLay, 58, was
indicted on a single felony count of conspiring
with two political associates.
文中的felony意思是"重罪"，如謀殺，搶劫等。如：Murder is a felony.（謀殺是一種重罪。）；guity of
felony （重罪罪名成立）。此外，與之相關(guān)的felon一詞指的是“重罪犯”，即“犯了重罪的人”。
