Squabbles with a landlord over rents due are thought to be behind an enraged tenant taking to throwing a large fridge freezer, together with other items, from a 23rd-floor-apartment window in Nanjing of late. The man faces jail time and a hefty fine.
据信，一名愤怒的房客最近从南京一栋23层公寓的窗户上扔了一台大冰箱和其他物品，原因是与房东因租金问题发生争执。该男子将面临牢狱之灾和巨额罚款。
The alarming and potentially-deadly incident took place around 21:00 on 28 April in the Qingze Garden Residential Community situated in southwest Nanjing, on Luotang Lu and Zhonghe Lu off the Nanjing Inner Ring and the Qinhuai River in Jianye District.
这起令人震惊的致命事件发生在4月28日21时左右，发生在南京市西南建邺区罗塘路、中和路、南京内环、秦淮河畔的清泽花园小区。
There, in the 34-floor-high-apartment block, the man was seen to throw many items from the window; pots, pans and bowls, in addition to the large fridge.
在这栋 34 层高的公寓楼里，有人看到该男子从窗户扔了许多物品；除了大冰箱外，还有锅、平底锅和碗。
One media report on Baijiahao also suggests that a washing machine was among the items ejected from such a height.
一份有关百家号的媒体报道还表明，从如此高的高度抛出的物品之一是一台洗衣机。
But wait, there’s more. Witnesses claim the fridge was accompanied by a cooker-range hood, suggesting the man essentially trashed the apartment in a rage.
但等等，还有更多。目击者称，冰箱旁边还配有抽油烟机，这表明该男子在盛怒之下把公寓搞得一团糟。
That which set light to the man’s fuse is presumed to have been a disagreement with the property’s landlord over unpaid rent, and an attempt thereby to evict the tenant.
据推测，这名男子的导火索是与房东在未付租金问题上发生分歧，并试图驱逐房客。
Neighbours quickly called law enforcement, after which officers came to Qingze Garden to detain the perpetrator. At this point, a crowd had gathered outside the apartment block in question. Thaiger reports that some of those present accused the man of attempted murder.
邻居们迅速报了警，随后民警来到清泽花园将肇事者抓获。此时，事发公寓楼外已经聚集了一群人。泰格报告说，在场的一些人指控该男子谋杀未遂。
While no one was hurt in the incident, numerous e-bikes parked below were damaged or destroyed by the falling debris. Police have since registered the case as a criminal matter.
虽然事件中没有人受伤，但停在下面的许多电动自行车被掉落的碎片损坏或摧毁。此后警方已将此案立为刑事案件。
When contacted, the Nanjing Jianye District Public Security Bureau would not comment on the matter, while staff at the local Lianhua Police Station stated it is at this point inconvenient to provide a response.
记者联系南京建邺区公安分局时，该局未对此事发表评论，而当地莲花派出所工作人员则表示目前不便回应。
It looks certain, however, that the fridge thrower faces jail time. Article 291-2 of China’s Criminal Law stipulates that those who throw objects from buildings, or other heights, can be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 1 year.
然而，看来扔冰箱的人肯定会面临牢狱之灾。我国刑法第291条之2规定，从建筑物或者其他高处投掷物品的，可以处一年以下有期徒刑。
Last November, the Xiuyu District People’s Court of Putian City in Fujian Province saw a similar case, sentencing the guilty party to 6 months in prison and a fine of ¥3,000.
去年11月，福建省莆田市秀屿区人民法院审理了一起类似案件，判处被告人有期徒刑6个月，并处罚金3000元。
