英文释义

名词 n.
  1. An instance of breaking and entering.
    — For example, an offender convicted of two crimes, such as break and enter and possession of burglary instruments, is sentenced to a one-year term of imprisonment. It is not clear, however, what portion of the sentence was imposed for the break and enter and what portion for the possession of burglary instruments. This makes it impossible to determine the average sentence for a specific offence such as break and enter.
动词 v.
  1. To gain unauthorized entry into another's property by force or illicit means; to break in and enter without permission.
    — The thief may steal from the person — or he may break and enter any office, shop, or warehouse not occupied with a dwelling house — or any shop or vessel — or in the night time he may enter, or in the day time he may break and enter, any dwelling house, or the out houses occupied with it, or any office, shop, warehouse, ship or vessel — or, in the day time, he may steal in any dwelling house, office, shop, warehouse, ship or vessel, without breaking.
