例文：[例6] One of the innovations introduced into the code was a broadening of the definition of rape, with the result that “rape” in Article 194 of the code now includes other forms of sexual coercion and the exploitation of the victim’s poor mental condition or inability to resist the action or to realise its significance. As a result of the amendment, offences in this category now carry far heavier punishments than before: imprisonment of 1-16 years, instead of a maximum of six years previously. Furthermore, circumstances leading to the imposition of heavier punishments for rape are defined in the law. Allowance is made for heavier punishments, firstly, if the victim is a child under the age of 18, secondly if the violence committed by the perpetrator is of major proportions and thirdly if the offence is committed in a way that inflicts particularly serious pain or injury. 该法典所作革新之一是扩大了强奸的定义，使法典第194条的“强奸”现在包括了其他形式的性胁迫以及利用受害者较差的精神状态或不能反抗抑或不明白其重要性。由于这项修正案，该类犯罪行为现在接受的惩罚比以前重多了：监禁1-16年而非以前的最高6年。此外，法律界定了导致对强奸实施更重处罚的情况。第一，如果受害者是未满18岁的孩子，第二，如果犯罪人施予的暴力占主要部分，第三如果以一种造成特别严重的疼痛或损伤的方式实施犯罪，可考虑给予更重的处罚。
