A suspect has been arrested for setting fire to an underwear factory in South China's Guangdong province that left 14 people dead and one more injured Tuesday, according local police authorities.

An initial investigation showed that the fire at the factory in Chaonan district in the city of Shantou was an arson fire and a suspect surnamed Liu has been arrested, the Shantou public security bureau said in a statement late Tuesday.

The fire broke out at about 3:30 p.m. and was put out half an hour later.

据当地警方透露，周二，广东一内衣厂发生一起因纵火导致14人死亡，1人受伤的事故，目前犯罪嫌疑人已被抓获。周二晚些时候，汕头市公安局在一声明中称，初步调查显示，发生在汕头市潮南区工厂的这一火灾系纵火所致，犯罪嫌疑人姓刘，目前已被抓获。火灾发生在下午三点半，半个小时后被扑灭。

　【讲解】文中的arson即为纵火，为名词，“纵火”表示动作时可以说成set fire，“纵火犯”英文我们可以说成arsonist。文中的 public security bureau指“公安局”，break out是指爆发，put out指扑灭。我们再一起来看看其它一些与“犯罪”相关的词汇：looting(抢劫)，theft (偷窃)，fraud(诈骗)，murder (谋杀)， smuggling(走私)。
