    答案没有错哦，这句话你不能直接按照中文常理去理解他。he is still under arrest.表示他还没被捕的意思

1，你已经被捕十分钟了。
You have been under arrest for ten minutes.
2，罪犯还是逍遥法外。
Criminal has not under arrest.

mapleleaf

“ the criminal is under arrest."应该是 " 罪犯已被捕"吧。
“罪犯还是逍遥法外。” 应该翻译成 “The criminal is still at large” 较好.

    不是表示已经被捕，而是正在被寻找中，还没被抓到的意思，呵呵，很多人误会了它的意思。不过你所给的句子也是可以的，像你所说的，你的那句话不会让别人产生误解，很好

    不是，be under arrest 和have been under arrest是不一样的意思的，前者表示正在被追捕中，后者则是已经被抓了。
