| 单词 | Heat of passion |
| 释义 | 盛怒 A state of excitement in which a person acts impulsively or loses self control. An accused person who acted in the heat of passion may be able to rely on the defence of provocation: A-G for Ceylon v Perera [1953] AC 200; Lee Chun Chuen v R [1946-1972] HKC 79, [1962] HKLR 443 (PCA), [1963] AC 220 (PC). In considering the evidence of whether there had been a loss of self control, the judge must have regard the nature of the reaction, the length of the interval separating it from its supposed cause and the speed of the reaction: R v Duffy [1949] 1 All ER 932 (CCA); R v Ip Siu Ma [1985] 1 HKC 122 (CA). In sentencing, an offence planned or deliberately committed is generally treated more seriously than one committed impulsively. See also In flagrante delicto; Provocation. 某人因處於刺激的狀態而一時衝動或失去自制力行事。任何在盛怒下行事的被控人可依據挑撥作為犯罪的抗辯：A-G for Ceylon v Perera [1953] AC 200; Lee Chun Chuen v R [1946-1972] HKC 79, [1962] HKLR 443 (PCA), [1963] AC 220（區密院）。就有關證據考慮被控人是否曾失去自制力時，法官須顧及該反應的性質、假設的因由與反應的速度相隔期間的長度：R v Duffy [1949] 1 All ER 932（刑事上訴法院）; R v Ip Siu Ma [1985] 1 HKC 122（上訴法庭）。在判刑時，有預謀的罪行或蓄意犯下的罪行被視為比因一時衝動而犯下的罪行更為嚴重。另見 In flagrante delicto; Provocation。 |
