经常在美剧中听到一级谋杀、二级谋杀、重罪谋杀这些概念，不同的谋杀是如何定性的。一起来感受一下吧。
Common Law Murder
普通法下的谋杀
Common law murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought was committed with one of the following states of mind:
▪ intent to kill
▪ Intent to inflict great bodily injury
▪ reckless indifference to an unjustifiably high risk to human life; or
▪ intent to commit a felony
普通法下的谋杀是有预谋的非法杀害一个人。预谋在主观上表现为故意杀害；故意使之遭受严重的身体伤害；鲁莽的忽视对于一个人生命的不合理的高风险；或者故意犯下重罪。
Statutory Murder
成文法下的谋杀
In some jurisdictions, murder is divided into degrees by statute.
在一些司法管辖区，依据法规，谋杀被划分为不同的等级。
First Degree Murder
一级谋杀
First degree murder requires that the defendant made the decision to kill in a cool and dispassionate manner and actually reflected on the idea of killing. It requires a specific intent, meaning that the defendant must have acted with intent or knowledge that their conduct would cause death.
一级谋杀是指被告以一种非常冷静的方式，切实的仔细思考杀人后，作出的杀人决定。一级谋杀要求特定犯意，即被告的行为必须是故意的或者是知道他们的行为会导致死亡的后果。
Second Degree Murder
二级谋杀
Second degree murder is similar to common law murder. It can be any murder that is not classified as a first degree murder.
二级谋杀类似于普通法下的谋杀，它可以是除一级谋杀外的任何谋杀。
Felony Murder
重罪谋杀
Any death caused in the commission of, or in an attempt to commit, a felony is murder. The felonies most commonly listed are burglary, arson, rape, robbery, and kidnapping.
任何因实施或试图实施重罪而导致的死亡构成重罪谋杀。通常所列重罪有夜盗、纵火、强奸、抢劫和绑架。
Voluntary Manslaughter
激情杀人
Voluntary manslaughter occurs when there is existence of adequate provocation. The provocation is adequate if it arouses sudden and intense passion in the mind of an ordinary person, causing them to lose self-control and leaving them no time to cool off.
当存在充分的挑衅时，就会发生激情杀人。充分的挑衅是指挑衅可以对一个普通人产生突然的强烈的激情，导致他们失去自我控制并使他们没有时间冷静下来。
Involuntary Manslaughter
非激情杀人
A killing is involuntary manslaughter if it was committed with criminal negligence during the commission of an unlawful act.
非激情杀人是指在实施一项不法行为的过程中，因犯罪性的过失而实施的杀人行为。
我国《刑法》
