“縱火”英語怎麼說

名詞解釋：故意放火和惡意燒燬或企圖燒燬任何屬於別人的大樓、建築物或財產(如房屋、教堂或船隻),或燒燬自己財產(通常帶有犯罪的或報復的意圖)。你知道怎麼用英語表達嗎?

A suspect has been arrested for setting fire to an underwear factory in South China's Guangdong province that left 14 people dead and one more injured Tuesday, according local police authorities.

An initial investigation showed that the fire at the factory in Chaonan district in the city of Shantou was an arson fire and a suspect surnamed Liu has been arrested, the Shantou public security bureau said in a statement late Tuesday.

The fire broke out at about 3:30 p.m. and was put out half an hour later.

據當地警方透露，週二，廣東一內衣廠發生一起因縱火導致14人死亡，1人受傷的事故，目前犯罪嫌疑人已被抓獲。週二晚些時候，汕頭市公安局在一聲明中稱，初步調查顯示，發生在汕頭市潮南區工廠的這一火災系縱火所致，犯罪嫌疑人姓劉，目前已被抓獲。火災發生在下午三點半，半個小時後被撲滅。

　【講解】文中的arson即爲縱火，爲名詞，“縱火”表示動作時可以說成set fire，“縱火犯”英文我們可以說成arsonist。文中的 public security bureau指“公安局”，break out是指爆發，put out指撲滅。我們再一起來看看其它一些與“犯罪”相關的詞彙：looting(搶劫)，theft (偷竊)，fraud(詐騙)，murder (謀殺)， smuggling(走私)。
