[00:01.080] | --- lesson 35 Justice was done |
[00:06.080] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
[00:11.480] | --- The word 'justice' is given two different meanings in the text. What is the distinction between them? |
[00:20.760] | The word justice is usually associated with courts of law.^“ |
[00:25.920] | We might say that justice has been done when a man's innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt. |
[00:33.560] | Justice is part of the complex machinery of the law. |
[00:38.280] | Those who seek it undertake an arduous journey and can never be sure that they will find it. |
[00:45.320] | Judges, however wise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes. |
[00:51.600] | There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract concept. |
[00:57.800] | Reward or punishment are meted out quite independent of human interference. |
[01:04.160] | At such times, justice acts like a living force. |
[01:08.640] | When we use a phrase like 'it serves him right', |
[01:12.160] | we are, in part, admitting that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord. |
[01:20.720] | When a thief was caught on the premises of a large jewellery store one morning, |
[01:25.760] | the shop assistants must have found it impossible to resist the temptation to say 'it serves him right.' |
[01:32.600] | The shop was an old converted house with many large, disused fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys. |
[01:41.240] | Towards midday, a girl heard a muffled cry coming from behind one of the walls. |
[01:47.640] | As the cry was repeated several times, she ran to tell the manager who promptly rang up the fire brigade. |
[01:55.240] | The cry had certainly come from one of the chimneys, |
[01:58.880] | but as there were so many of them, the fire fighters could not be certain which one it was. |
[02:04.920] | They located the right chimney by tapping at the walls and listening for the man's cries. |
[02:11.480] | After chipping through a wall which was eighteen inches thick, they found that a man had been trapped in the chimney. |
[02:19.280] | As it was extremely narrow, the man was unable to move, |
[02:23.480] | but the fire fighters were eventually able to free him by cutting a huge hole in the wall. |
[02:30.000] | The sorry-looking, blackened figure that emerged, admitted at once that he had tried to break into the shop during the night but had got stuck in the chimney. |
[02:40.680] | He had been there for nearly ten hours. |
[02:43.800] | Justice had been done even before the man was handed over to the police. |

[00:01.080] | 伸张正义 |
[00:06.080] | ^听录音,然后回答以下问题。 |
[00:11.480] | |
[00:20.760] | 正义”这个词常常是同法庭连在一起的。 |
[00:25.920] | ^当某人被证据确凿地证明无罪或有罪的时候,我们也许会说正义得到了伸张。 |
[00:33.560] | ^正义是复杂的法律机器的组成部分。 |
[00:38.280] | ^那些寻求正义的人走的是一条崎岖的道路,从来没有把握他们最终将找到正义。 |
[00:45.320] | ^法官无论如何聪明与有名,毕竟也是人,也会出差错的。 |
[00:51.600] | ^在个别情况下,正义不再是一种抽象概念。 |
[00:57.800] | ^奖惩的实施是不受人的意志支配的。 |
[01:04.160] | ^在这种时候,正义像一种有生命的力量行使其职能。 |
[01:08.640] | ^当我们说“他罪有应得”这句话的时候, |
[01:12.160] | ^我们部分地承认了某种特定的环境使得正义自动地起了作用。 |
[01:20.720] | ^一天上午,当一个小偷在一家大型珠宝店里被人抓住的时候, |
[01:25.760] | ^店员一定会忍不住说:“他罪有应得。” |
[01:32.600] | ^那是一座老式的、经过改造的房子,店里有许多废置不用的大壁炉和又高又窄的烟囱。 |
[01:41.240] | ^快到中午的时候,一个女售货员听见从一堵墙里传出一种闷声闷气的叫声。 |
[01:47.640] | ^由于这种喊叫声重复了几次,她跑去报告经理,经理当即给消防队挂了电话。 |
[01:55.240] | ^喊叫声肯定是从烟囱里传出来的, |
[01:58.880] | ^然而,因为烟囱太多,消防队员无法确定到底是哪一个。 |
[02:04.920] | ^他们通过叩击烟囱倾听那人的喊叫声而确定了传出声音的那个烟囱。 |
[02:11.480] | ^他们凿透了18英寸厚的墙壁,发现有个人卡在烟囱里。 |
[02:19.280] | ^由于烟囱太窄,那人无法动弹。 |
[02:23.480] | ^消防队员在墙上挖了个大洞,才终于把他解救出来。 |
[02:30.000] | ^那个看起来满脸沮丧、浑身漆黑的家伙从烟囱里一出来,就承认头天夜里他企图到店里行窃,但让烟囱卡住了。 |
[02:40.680] | ^他已经在烟囱里被困了将近10个小时。 |
[02:43.800] | ^甚至在那人还没被送交给警察之前,正义就已得到了伸张。 |
