Thank you, Gary. Actually, I know it's above me. To be honest, I am not a law major, and the Chinese article itself doesn't make much sense to me. Homework, anyway. It's challenging, but got to be done. Your suggestions are quite helpful. I will pay more attention to the grammar. Thanks again!

Thank you guys. Actually it's taken from a Chinese article about criminal dogmatics. what i need to do with this article is to translate it from Chinese to English. It's full of legal terms & jargons. The following is the context that the above-mentioned sentence is in. Hope you can understand my translation :) This paper agrees on the initiative focusing on the prevention for the following reasons: Firstly, it makes the two theories learn from each other's strong points to offset their own weaknesses. It tries at the way of cross combination and mutual restriction to eliminate the weaknesses of retribution theory and prevention theory while retaining and carrying forward their strengths. Comparatively speaking, other types of integration theories are mainly physical integration of different theories in which weakness of traditional theories are not eliminated but simply added together. Secondly, the theory of retribution is rejuvenated after improvement. This initiative reforms theory of retribution from purpose of penalty to boundaries of penalty. Such change "from a forward to a linesman" brings the theory of retribution into full play. The principle of suiting punishment to crime, which is originated from retribution theory, has the function of restricting the state's power of penalty which is not available in any of the prevention theories. Under no circumstances should the penalty surpasses the crime, because it is not only concerning with human dignity in the Constitution but also with the stability of the public legal awareness that no one shall be inflicted disproportionately larger punishments than they deserve. Thirdly, maximum of penalty efficiency can be achieved when special prevention is put before general prevention in order of priority.

a generally nerdy person, except for the few in the class that are kickass individuals. they spend most of their time copying outlines from the book website or e-mailing their friends to say FUCK I HATE THISS or generally to pass on some good ids. they do not read the chapter until the night before the test. for the final ap test, they like to alternate between freak out mode for which they are famous for among their non-ap friends and the standard "i dont even care" which makes them feel better about their 2 hours spent studying. their palms sweat before their test and afterwards they share a jumping highfive and then get drunk for the first time of their life from pure excitement. this is what goes down for an ap student. "i am an ap student" "wow u only get drunk to celebrate the end of ap test" "affirmative"
