伊拉克特別法庭第4次提審前總統(tǒng)薩達(dá)姆。首位女證人也出庭就1982年杜賈爾村屠殺事件作證。這位女證人坐在布簾子后面，聲淚俱下地講述了慘遭薩達(dá)姆密探毆打并虐待的經(jīng)過。

請看外電報道：Saddam sat stone-faced as the woman, identified only as "WitnessA," told the court from behind a light blue curtain that she was taken into custody after the 1982 assassination attempt against the former Iraqi president in the town of Dujail.

Witness 這個詞大家并不陌生，報道中作名詞用，指的是“（法庭上的）證人”，如,to call a witness in sb.'s defense（請證人為某人辯護(hù)）。Witness 還可表示“見證人；目擊者”，a witness of the accident，意思就是“事故的目擊者”；He is the witness of their wedding.（他是他們婚禮的見證人。）

Witness 還可作動詞用，表示“親眼目睹”，如，We witnessed tremendous changes in the city.（我們親眼目睹了城市的巨大變化。）
