- 他是一个穷凶极恶的杀人犯。
He is a nefarious murderer. - 除了穷凶极恶的谋杀式“非对称”战术,塔利班已是穷途末路。
Its leadership had been shredded by systematic assassination, and it was reduced to murderous but desperate "asymmetric" tactics. - 这种方法理论上能够解放监狱,以集中精力改造最穷凶极恶的罪犯。
Such an approach would in theory leave prisons free to concentrate on reforming the most dangerous miscreants.
