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.

据我所知，泰国发生过一个案例，当时是一对澳洲夫妇透过泰国中介机构安排，委托一名叫派塔拉蒙的二十一岁泰国女性代孕，怀孕初期发现派塔拉蒙所怀的双胞胎中，一个患有唐氏症。

As far as I'm aware, a case happened in Thailand. At that time an Australian couple arranged through an intermediary organization for a 21-year-old Thai woman called Pattaramon Janbua to act as their surrogate. Early in the pregnancy it was discovered that of the two twins in Pattaramon's womb, one had Down syndrome.

小倩，马老师看过很多这样的案例。他越是威胁你，你越是要鼓起勇气。

那你就当作是对自己的挑战吧。其实理论有理论的好处。各人可以根据自己的理解，联系实际，灵活运用。你要是想看具体的案例分析，网上也能很容易地找到。对了，你还可以去看看《三十六计》。

Take it on as a challenge for yourself. Actually, there are some benefits to theory. Everyone can make connections to real life and use it flexibly based on their own understanding. And if you want to read some concrete analyses of case studies, you can find a lot of materials online. Oh, right-- you can also check out ``The Thirty-six Strategems."
