A judge asked our group of potential jurors whether anyone should be excused, and one man raised his hand.
"I can't hear out of my left ear," the man told the judge.
"Can you hear out of your right ear?" the judge asked. The man nodded his head.
"You'll be allowed to serve on the jury," the judge declared. "We only listen to one side of the case at a time."
一位法官問我們這群修補(bǔ)陪審員是否有人應(yīng)當(dāng)免權(quán)。一個(gè)人舉起了手。
“我的左耳聽不見。”那人告訴法官。
“你的右邊耳朵聽得見嗎?”法官問道。那人點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭。
“你將被允許加入陪審團(tuán),”法官宣布。“我們每次只聽一面之辭。”
