Sample Sentences
这就跟两个国家的法律体系有关了。中国的法律属于大陆法系,也叫成文法。就是说,所有的法律都是通过法律条文一一写出来的。美国的法律体系就完全不一样了。它属于英美法系,也叫案例法。它是根据法官或者陪审团的决议判定的。这样一来,法官就具有比较大的自主权,能根据每个案件的实际情况来裁定。所以美国的法官一般都需要很深的资历。
That has to do with the difference between the two countries' legal systems. Chinese law belongs to the mainland legal system. It's also known as ''statute law." It means that all the laws are written out, one by one. The American legal system is completely different. It belongs to the Anglo-American legal system. It's also called precedent law. It's decided according to judges' or juries' judgments. In this way, the judges' power is relatively great. They can rule according to the actual facts of each case. So American judges generally need a lot of experience.
我以前听一个美国人说过:“你有一个好的律师,你就拥有了世界上最好的法律系统。”在美国,律师可以用过去的案例,法庭上的演示,振振有词的辩护来说服陪审员。而中国的律师能做的就是把他学到的法律条文一一地说出来。然后从这些法律条文中查找可以减轻当事人罪行的可能性。因为所有的罪都规定好了,除非他能找出反驳的证据,不然他能做的真的很少。
I heard an American say once ''Having a good lawyer means you have the best legal system in the world." In America, lawyers can use previous cases and courtroom performance to eloquently plead their case and convince the jury. But in China a lawyer can just recite each of the laws he has studied one by one. Then, he can use these to try to find a way to reduce the suspect's sentence. Because all the crimes are well established in law, unless he can find opposing proof, there is really very little he can do.
