在充斥着专业术语、法律漏洞和“老校友圈子”的法律世界里，你独自成功主张自己权利的机会几乎为零。因此，你需要一名大律师或事务律师代表你行事。然而，聘请这样的人需要花费你的钱，而且是一大笔钱。你花的钱越多，就能请到越好的律师。

With the legal world being so full of technical jargon, loopholes in the law and ‘old boy networks’, your chances of successfully presenting your claims on your own are practically zero. Thus, you need a barrister or solicitor to act on your behalf. But, to your expense, to attain the services of one will cost you money...a lot of money. And the more money you have to spend, the better the lawyer you can buy.

那么，如果你手头没有多余的钱，而闯入你家的窃贼却用他非法所得的钱，请到了法律界最好的律师，又会怎样呢？在这一行里你很快就会明白，案件的证据并不是决定判决的唯一因素，它只是律师所运用的多种手段之一，律师借此达到他所收钱要达成的结果。看来，公正在他的优先事项中排不上前列！归根结底，要争取你的合法权利，钱才是说话的人！

So what if you don’t have more money to spare, and the criminal who robbed your house has used all the earnings from his illicit endeavours to buy the best that the legal profession has to offer? In this industry you will learn very quickly that the evidence in a case is not the deciding factor of the verdict, but it is only one of a variety of the tools that the lawyer makes use of in achieving the outcome he has been paid to produce. It seems that justice does not figure highly on his list of priorities! The bottom line is this. In the quest for getting your legitimate rights....money talks!.

关于裁决你的案件的问题，这由十二名随机抽选的普通公众成员——陪审团——来决定。证据将呈交给他们（表达是否精彩，取决于你的律师收费多少），他们会依据各自的看法来权衡。但请考虑以下几点：

With regards to the question of deciding the verdict in your case, this is left up to twelve randomly selected members of the general public - the jury. The evidence is presented to them (eloquently or not depending on how much your lawyer cost), and they weigh it up according to their own opinions. But consider these points:

如果你在街上遇到12个人，你会信任其中多少人呢？毕竟，陪审团成员本身也可能是罪犯、种族主义者、性别歧视者、骗子、欺诈者……

If you came across 12 people in the street, how many of them would you trust? After all, the jury members themselves may be criminals, racist, sexist, liars, cheats...

陪审团成员可能对法律程序的细节、法医学的科学原理或警方办案的复杂流程一无所知。然而，他们却必须依据这些方面来判断证据！

The jury probably know nothing about the details of legal process, the science of forensics or the intricacies of police procedures. Yet they have to judge the evidence according to these bases!.

总的来说，鉴于英国司法制度的一些事实，你对它缺乏信心，这还会令人惊讶吗？

All in all, given some of these facts about the British judicial system, is it any surprise that you don’t have confidence in it?
