Eloquent Plea | 雄辩的陈词

English Original

The lawyer approached the jury box and began an eloquent plea for her client:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I want to tell you about this man. There's so much to say that is good: he never beat his wife; he was always kind to little children; he never did a dishonest thing in his life; he has always lived by the golden rule; he is a model of everything decent, forthright, and honest. Everyone loves him and..."

Her client leaned over to a friend and whispered, "How do you like that? I pay her good money to defend me, and she's telling the jury about some other guy."

律师走向陪审团席,开始为她的当事人进行一场雄辩的陈词:

"陪审团的女士们、先生们,我想告诉你们关于这个男人的事。有太多值得称道的地方:他从未殴打妻子;他总是对小孩子很友善;他一生从未做过不诚实的事;他一直遵循黄金法则生活;他是所有正直、坦率和诚实品质的典范。每个人都爱他,而且……"

她的当事人侧身对一位朋友低语道:"你觉得怎么样?我付给她一大笔钱为我辩护,而她却在向陪审团描述另一个家伙。"
