Question

culprit n.罪犯；起因 (1) 正在搜捕该罪犯。(2) 警方已获得罪犯的线索。(3) 那个罪犯找到后就要挨鞭子抽打。 The word culprit comes from the Anglo French words cul prit, a contraction of culpable, which means "deserving blame." A culprit isn't always a person; it can be anything that caused something bad to happen — even a sock left on the steps can be a culprit if it makes you slip and fall. Don't confuse culprit with scapegoat, which is a person or thing that gets blamed for something it didn't do.
