（单词翻译）

　　Italy's top court has upheld a jail sentence against former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for tax fraud.
 
　　The Italian Supreme1 Court confirmed a four-year jail term and ordered a new appeal trial for a related ban on public office.
 
　　Because of a 2006 amnesty law, three of the four years' sentence will not be effective.
 
　　Alessandro Politi is a political analyst2.
 
　　"He has a number of articles in his favour. He is old so he shouldn't go to jail. The worst thing that can happen is that he stays for a certain amount of time at home or assisting some social service but that's all. By the way I would be thrilled to know what he will do."
 
　　The highest court's decision, was the first definitive3 conviction after up to 30 court cases against the three-time premier4 since he entered politics some two decades ago.
 
　　Those allegations include tax fraud, corruption5 and more recently having sex with an under aged6 prostitute.
 
　　Throughout 12-years of trial, the 76-year-old has denied all charges made against him.
