D7法庭里 | D7 Fǎtíng lǐ | D7 In Court |
劳拉正在报道对市长的审判。她非常热心。正义和公平一直对她来说很重要。所以她对审判很痴迷。 | Láolā zhèngzài bàodǎo duì shì zhǎng de shěnpàn. Tā fēicháng rèxīn. Zhèngyì hé gōngpíng yìzhí duì tā láishuō hěn zhòngyào. Suǒyǐ tā duì shěnpàn hěn zháomí. | Laura is reporting on the trial against the mayor. She is very enthusiastic. Justice and fairness have always been important to her. She is fascinated by trials. |
偶尔,在下班后,她甚至会参加民事审判。她喜欢听调查人员描述每个单独的案件的情况,并一点一点地找到犯罪动机。 | Ǒu'ěr, zài xiàbān hòu, tā shènzhì huì cānjiā mínshì shěnpàn. Tā xǐhuān tīng diàochá rényuán miáoshù měigè dāndú de ànjiàn de qíngkuàng, bìng yì diǎn yì diǎn de zhǎodào fànzuì dòngjī. | Occasionally, she even attends civil trials when she is off duty. She likes to listen to the investigators who describe each individual case and arrive at a motive for the crime little by little. |
上周,一位店员讲了一个可怕的故事。一个枪击事件正好发生在店外,而且一个她的熟人被伤得很严重。 | Shàng zhōu, yí wèi diànyuán jiǎngle yígè kěpà de gùshì. Yígè qiāngjī shìjiàn zhènghǎo fāshēng zài diàn wài, érqiě yígè tā de shúrén bèi shāng de hěn yánzhòng. | Last week, a shopkeeper told a terrifying tale. A shooting happened right outside his shop and one of his acquaintances was severely injured. |
那个开枪的人和他的同伙在一周后一起被逮捕了。可是这件事自然对这个店造成了干扰,而且许多客户已经开始到别的店去了。 | Nàgè kāiqiāng de rén hé tā de tónghuǒ zài yìzhōu hòu yìqǐ bèi dàibǔle. Kěshì zhè jiàn shì zìrán duì zhège diàn zàochéngle gānrǎo, érqiě xǔduō kèhù yǐjīng kāishǐ dào bié de diàn qùle. | The shooter and his companion were arrested a week later. Naturally, it caused disruption and many of his clients have started to shop elsewhere. |
那个店主现在在门上有了更好地锁,同时还安装了新的安全监控器。他在自己的故事里提到了很多细节。他的故事在接下来的一个星期内始终占据着劳拉的思想。 | Nàgè diànzhǔ xiànzài zài mén shàng yǒule gèng hǎo de suǒ, tóngshí hái ānzhuāngle xīn de ānquán jiānkòngqì. Tā zài zìjǐ de gùshì lǐ tídàole hěnduō xìjié. Tā de gùshì zài jiē xiàlái de yígè xīngqí nèi shǐzhōng zhànjùzhe Láolā de sīxiǎng. | The shopkeeper now has a better lock on his door and, in the meantime, has also installed a new security monitor. He went into a lot of detail during the trial. His story dominated Laura’s thoughts throughout the next week. |
因为这是独家报道,劳拉必须从头到尾都跟着今天的案子走。读者的兴趣远高于平常。她用整齐的笔迹记下了自己的观察。 | Yīnwèi zhè shì dújiā bàodǎo, Láolā bìxū cóngtóu dào wěi dōu gēnzhe jīntiān de ànzi zǒu. Dúzhě de xìngqù yuǎngāoyú píngcháng. Tā yòng zhěngqí de bǐjì jì xiàle zìjǐ de guānchá. | Since she is reporting on it exclusively Laura will have to follow today’s case from start to finish. The readers' interest in it is well above average. She notes down her observations in her neat handwriting. |
市长被指控残酷地谋杀了妻子的秘密情人,但他声称自己是无辜的。 | Shìzhǎng bèi zhǐkòng cánkù de móushāle qīzi de mìmì qíngrén, dàn tā shēngchēng zìjǐ shì wúgū de. | The mayor is accused of cruelly murdering his wife's secret lover, but he claims that he is innocent. |
媒体都希望得到他的供词,所以都因为他律师坚持要在审判中排除媒体而感到沮丧。 | Méitǐ dōu xīwàng dédào tā de gòngcí. Suǒyǐ dōu yīnwèi tā lǜshī jiānchí yào zài shěnpàn zhōng páichú méitǐ ér gǎndào jǔsàng. | The media is hoping for a confession from him. His solicitor insisted on excluding them from the trial and they are frustrated. |
准备工作已经完成了。陪审团的成员们正在入座但被告的律师仍然缺席。 | Zhǔnbèi gōngzuò yǐjīng wánchéngle. Péishěntuán de chéngyuánmen zhèngzài rùzuòle dàn bèigào de lǜshī réngrán quēxí. | The preparations are finished. The jury members are taking their seats, but the defence attorney is still absent. |
“请就坐,审判开始了。” | “Qǐng jiùzuò, shěnpàn kāishǐle.” | “Please be seated, the trial is beginning.” |
因为律师的迟到,让他久等,所以法官很恼火。 | Yīnwèi lǜshī de chídào, ràng tā jiǔ děng, suǒyǐ fǎguān hěn nǎohuǒ. | The attorney was late and kept him waiting therefore the judge is irritated. |
“起码,你应该遵守我们的议程。我希望你将来会这样做。” | “Qǐmǎ, nǐ yīnggāi zūnshǒu wǒmen de yìchéng. Wǒ xīwàng nǐ jiānglái huì zhèyàng zuò.” | “At the very least you could comply with our timetable. I expect you to do so going forward.” |
律师似乎很苦恼。他代表的客户中一个富有的客户现在离婚了,他不得不亲自去看他。 | Lǜshī sìhū hěn kǔnǎo. Tā dàibiǎo de kèhù zhōng yígè fùyǒu de kèhù xiànzài líhūnle, tā bùdé bù qīnzì qù kàn tā. | The attorney looks distressed. One of the affluent clients he represents is getting divorced and he had to see him in person. |
“我已经尽量准时到达了,但是堵车了。” | “Wǒ yǐjīng jìnliàng zhǔnshí dàodále, dànshì dǔchēle.” | “I did my utmost to be on time but there were traffic jams.” |
一个寡妇坐在第一排。她盯着的犯罪嫌疑人充满了绝望,并嘀咕着:“我希望他们会把你关起来关很长时间。” | Yígè guǎfù zuò zài dì yī pái. Tā dīngzhe de fànzuìxiányí rén chōngmǎnle juéwàng, bìng díguzhe:“Wǒ xīwàng tāmen huì bǎ nǐ guān qǐlái guān hěn cháng shíjiān.” | The widow sits in the first row. Full of despair, she stares at the suspect and mutters: “I hope they lock you away for a long time.” |
一个目击者证实了受害者与市长夫人有婚外情这件事。 | Yígè mùjízhě zhèngshíle shòuhàizhě yǔ shìzhǎng fūrén yǒu hūnwàiqíng zhè jiàn shì. | A witness confirms that the victim had an affair with the mayor's wife. |
“这太不像话了!她是一个可敬的女人。她永远不会欺骗我,也永远不会与另一个男人发生性关系。 市长好斗地说。 | “Zhè tài bú xiànghuàle! Tā shì yígè kějìng de nǚrén. Tā yǒngyuǎn bú huì qīpiàn wǒ, yě yǒngyuǎn bú huì yǔ lìng yígè nánrén fàshēng xìng guānxì. Shìzhǎng hàodòu de shuō. | “This is outrageous! She's a respectable woman. She would never deceive me and have a sexual relationship with another man,” the mayor says aggressively. |
劳拉对他如此坚决地否认此事感到惊讶。这在小镇上已经不是秘密了。从很久以前,每个人就开始八卦这件事了。 | Láolā duì tā rúcǐ jiānjué de fǒurèn cǐ shì gǎndào jīngyà. Zhè zài xiǎo zhèn shàng yǐjīng búshì mìmìle. Cóng hěnjiǔ yǐqián, měigèrén jiù kāishǐ bāguà zhè jiàn shì le. | Laura is surprised that he denies the affair so firmly. It did not remain a secret in the town. Everybody started gossiping about it long ago. |
证人避免看向市长,并继续提供正在讨论的那晚的信息。 | Zhèngrén bìmiǎn kàn xiàng shìzhǎng, bìng jìxù tígòng zhèngzài tǎolùn de nà wǎn de xìnxī. | The witness avoids looking at the mayor and continues to supply information about the night in question. |
“起初,她很有激情地亲吻了他,但随后他们发生了争吵。她抗拒了他,他发起脾气来。他袭击了她,打了她耳光,并威胁要伤害她。” | “Qǐchū, tā hěn yǒu jīqíng de qīnwěnle tā, dàn suíhòu tāmen fāshēngle zhēngchǎo. Tā kàngjùle tā, tā fāqǐ píqì lái. Tā xíjíle tā, dǎle tā'ěrguāng, bìng wēixié yào shānghài tā.” | “Initially, she was kissing him with passion, but then they had a quarrel. She resisted him and he lost his temper. He attacked her, slapped her and threatened to harm her.” |
“那就是强奸。”市长打断了他的话。他的脸很明显地变苍白了。 | “Nà jiùshì qiángjiān” shìzhǎng dǎduànle tā de huà. Tā de liǎn hěn míngxiǎn de biàn cāngbái le. | “Then it was rape,” the mayor interrupts. He is noticeably pale. |
“这个样子我们什么结果也得不到。法官生气了。 | “Zhège yàngzi wǒmen shénme jiéguǒ yě dé bú dào. Fǎguān shēngqìle. | “We won't get anywhere like this.” The judge is angry. |
“你认为他们会给他判刑吗?” | “Nǐ rènwéi tāmen huì gěi tā pànxíng ma?” | “Do you think they'll sentence him?” |
“这大部分取决于他妻子的证词。如果她哭泣并且变得歇斯底里,那会削弱他的机会。但是他的释放还是有可能的,因为他们没有确凿证据。” | “Zhè dà bùfèn qǔjué yú tā qīzi de zhèngcí. Rúguǒ tā kūqì bìngqiě biàn de xiēsīdǐlǐ, nà huì xuēruò tā de jīhuì. Dànshì tā de shìfàng hai shì yǒu kěnéng de, yīnwèi tāmen méiyǒu quèzuò zhèngjù.” | “That'll largely depend upon his wife’s testimony. If she sobs and becomes hysterical it would weaken his chances. But his release is likely because they have no concrete evidence against him.” |
“他并不合作,但他并不笨。相反,如果他犯了法并且就是杀手,那我怀疑他现在还能这么好斗。” | “Tā bìngbù hézuò, dàn tā bìng bú bèn. Xiāngfǎn, rúguǒ tā fànle fǎ bìngqiě jiùshì shāshǒu, nà wǒ huáiyí tā xiànzài hái néng zhème hàodòu .” | “He's not cooperating, but he's not dumb. On the contrary, if he broke the law and is the killer here, I doubt that he'd be so aggressive right now. “ |
“我不同意。他的野蛮,自大,以及他经常像发疯似的反应是广为大众所知的。他的冒犯行为并不令我感到惊讶。” | “Wǒ bùtóngyì.Tā de yěmán, zì dà, yǐjí tā jīngcháng xiàng fāfēng shì de fǎnyìng shì guǎng wéi dàzhòng suǒ zhī de. Tā de màofàn xíngwéi bìng bú lìng wǒ gǎndào jīngyà.” | “I disagree with you. He's widely known to be brutal, to overestimate himself and to react like crazy. His offensive behaviour doesn't surprise me.” |
