| 释义 |
pain ， on ～ of ： under ～ of — 759
这两个短语介词都作“受刑罚”讲，只是 on pain of 用于没有依法执行的场合；而 under pain of 则要用于依法执行的场合。
例如：
He was banished from his country on pain of death. 他已被驱逐出境，免于死刑。
One who is banished from his country on pain of death is under pain of death, if one returns. 一个流放国外免于死刑的人要是回到本国，仍得执行死刑。
