这段文字给我们提供了用英语讨论“砍人事件、持刀杀人”时必备主题词汇。
1. were killed and injured
但凡持刀行凶必然用到两个词：be killed or injured(丧命/致死/死亡或受意外伤)
2. in a stabbing attack
in a stabbing attack，也叫in a knife attack 就是我们所说的“砍人事件、持刀行凶、持刀杀人”了。不过，中文里的“砍人事件”多半作为主语使用，英语里就变成状语定语的介词结构了。英汉思维的不同就体现在这里。
3. have arrested a man
只要出现犯罪行为，就会使用arrest一词的，即“逮捕、拘捕、捉拿归案”的意思。
4. in connection with
此处的 in connection with(与 有关联)，实指 be suspected of，即涉嫌某某犯罪。
5. a deadly stabbing spree
连杀18人，伤48人。这是什么行为？就不仅仅是 attack(袭击)，而是spree了。什么是spree? 一般我们在圣诞节期间“狂购”才说 a shopping spree(圣诞春节疯狂购物)，而现在不是shopping spree这样的好事了。是stabbing spree, knife spree(杀人如麻)！
6. the facility for the disabled.
此次恶性杀人发生地是 a facility for the disabled 或 handicapped，即残障人机构。我们也叫“福利院”，不过此“福利”不是welfare哟！
7. turned himself in to the police
犯了罪，有人逃之夭夭，逍遥法外(be at large)，有人则 turn themselves in to the police，即向警察投案自首。

我们再提供一段同样主题的文字，供你巩固所学主题词汇：
(CNN) — At least 19 people were killed and 26 injured in a stabbing spree at a facility for disabled people west of Tokyo, making it one of Japan's deadliest mass killings since World War II. Nine men and 10 women, ranging in age from 18 to 70, were killed in the attack.
Police said they received a call from an employee of the facility reporting the attack, according to state broadcaster NHK.
About 3 a.m., Uematsu turned himself in at the Sagamihara police station, carrying a bloodstained knife and cloth, officials said.
