Justice was done Part-1
???st?s w?z d?n pɑ?t-1
? ? ? ? ? ? 伸張正義
? ? The word justice is usually associated with courts of law. We might say that justice has been done when a man's innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt. Justice is part of the complex machinery of the law. Those who seek it undertake an arduous journey and can never be sure that they will find it. Judges, however wise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes.
? ? There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract concept. Reward or punishment are meted out quite independent of human interference. At such times, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like 'it serves him right', we are, in part, admitting that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord.
? ? When a thief was caught on the premises of large jewellery store on morning, the shop assistants must have found it impossible to resist the temptation to say 'it serves him right.' The shop was an old converted house with many large, disused fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys.

“正義”這個(gè)詞常常是同法庭連在一起的。當(dāng)某人被證據(jù)確鑿地證明無罪的時(shí)候,我們也許會(huì)說正義得到了伸張。正義是復(fù)雜的法律機(jī)器組成部分。那些尋求正義的人走的是一條崎嶇的道路,從來沒有把握他們最終將到正義。法官無論如何聰明與有名,畢竟也是人,也會(huì)出差錯(cuò)的。
? ? 在個(gè)別情況下,正義不再是一種抽象概念。獎(jiǎng)懲的實(shí)施是不受人意志支配的。在這種時(shí)候,正義像一種有生命的力量行使其職能。當(dāng)我們說“他罪有應(yīng)得”這句話的時(shí)候,我們部分承認(rèn)了某種特定的環(huán)境使得正義自動(dòng)地起了作用。
? ? 一天上午,當(dāng)一個(gè)小偷在一家大型珠寶店里被人抓住的時(shí)候,店員一定會(huì)忍不住說:“他罪有應(yīng)得?!蹦鞘且蛔鲜降?、經(jīng)過改造的房子,店里有許多廢置不用的大壁爐和又高又窄的煙囪。

感悟:現(xiàn)在復(fù)述每次聽2-3次,重復(fù)復(fù)述,不過像今天這種文章,聽錯(cuò)、復(fù)述錯(cuò)的概率還是蠻高,故事部分會(huì)更好復(fù)述一些。
