It was the first major outcome of a national college admissions scandal that snared Huffman and a number of wealthy, predominantly white, families, accused of gaming the nation’s college admissions system to get their privileged kids into the schools they desired.
這是全國(guó)高校招生丑聞第一個(gè)主要處罰,霍夫曼和一眾以白人為主的富人家庭牽涉其中,被指控利用美國(guó)大學(xué)招生制度讓自己享有特權(quán)的孩子進(jìn)入他們想要的學(xué)校。
As the Los Angeles Times explains:
《洛杉磯時(shí)報(bào)》解釋說(shuō):
Friday’s sentencing hearing in Boston capped months of embarrassing scrutiny for the “Desperate Housewives” star, whose reputation in Hollywood as a down-to-earth anti-diva has been tarnished by the revelation she paid $15,000 to William “Rick” Singer, a college admissions consultant who preyed on his wealthy clients’ anxieties about getting their kids into top schools and their willingness to pay huge sums to access his illicit operation.
周五波士頓的量刑聽(tīng)審結(jié)束了幾個(gè)月以來(lái)對(duì)這位《絕望主婦》中的明星的尷尬審查,她在好萊塢是出了名的腳踏實(shí)地的反抗女主,因?yàn)楸慌吨Ц督o大學(xué)招生顧問(wèn)威廉·里克·辛格1萬(wàn)5千美元而形象受損,這位顧問(wèn)利用了富有的客戶(hù)想讓孩子進(jìn)名校的焦慮,以及他們?cè)敢饣ň拶Y讓他進(jìn)行非法操作的心態(tài)。
Huffman was one of 33 parents charged in March in a sweeping investigation into Singer’s scheme. Some, like Huffman, were accused of paying Singer to boost their children’s SAT and ACT scores.
三月份在全面調(diào)查辛格的計(jì)劃時(shí)有包括霍夫曼在內(nèi)的33位家長(zhǎng)被起訴,其中像霍夫曼這樣的一些人被控告付錢(qián)給辛格提高孩子的SAT和ACT分?jǐn)?shù)。
Others were alleged to have paid larger, six-figure sums to slip their children into elite schools — Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, UCLA and USC, among others — as purported athletic recruits for sports they didn’t play.

In sentencing Huffman to 14 days in prison, community service, and a $30,000 fine, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani rejected the actress’ request to be spared jail time.
美國(guó)聯(lián)邦地區(qū)法官I(mǎi)ndira Talwani判處霍夫曼14天監(jiān)禁、社會(huì)服務(wù)和3萬(wàn)美元罰款,拒絕了這位女演員免于坐牢的請(qǐng)求。
However, Huffman’s sentence paled in comparison to that of another mother, a black woman from Connecticut named Tanya McDowell, who was sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of using a friend’s address to enroll her son in kindergarten in 2010, as The Hour explained in a 2017 story.
但霍夫曼所受的刑罰跟另外一位母親相比就差遠(yuǎn)了,《The Hour》在2017年的一個(gè)故事中解釋說(shuō),一位來(lái)自康涅狄格州叫Tanya McDowell的黑人女性被判處5年監(jiān)禁,罪名是2010年利用朋友地址讓兒子上幼兒園。
