Sample Sentences

你说的倒也有道理，“贴标签”、“下定义”的举动确实太过草率，有失偏颇。尤其常常用来作为批评某类人的手段，不但不负责任也有人身攻击的嫌疑。
nǐshuōde dào yě yǒudàolǐ ，“tiē biāoqiān ”、“xià dìngyì ”de jǔdòng quèshí tài guò cǎoshuài ，yǒushī piānpō 。yóuqí chángcháng yònglái zuòwéi pīpíng mǒu lèi rén de shǒuduàn ，bùdàn bù fù zérén yě yǒu rénshēn gōngjī de xiányí 。
That makes sense, the action of "labeling" or "defining" is really done too carelessly, and is quite biased. Especially given that it's often used as a method to criticize a certain type of person. This is not only irresponsible but could also be seen as a personal attack.

审判长，我首先向被害人表示沉痛的哀悼。但是作为被告陈瑶的辩护律师，我不能同意公诉机关对陈瑶故意杀人的犯罪指控。我会举证陈瑶不仅不具备作案时间、而且也没有杀人动机。而且警方在整个调查过程中并没有深入调查其他嫌疑人便草率结案，对我的代理人极为不公。

Your honor, first, let me express my sincere sorrow for the victim. But as Chen Yao's defense attorney, I do not agree with the prosecution's criminal charges against Chen Yao. I will prove that Chen Yao not only did not have the time to commit the crime, but also that she did not have a motive for murder. Additionally, during the course of the investigation, the police did not thoroughly investigate other suspects. They wrapped up the case in a sloppy way, which was extremely unfair to my client.
