    示範例句 · Example

    The judge asked the jury if they found the accused guilty or not guilty.

    逐字法官問陪審團，他們是否認定被告有罪或無罪。

    「the accused」是法律上的固定說法，指「在法庭上被指控犯罪的人」，也就是中文的「被告」。注意它幾乎都跟 the 一起用（the accused），而且單複數同形——一個人或一群人都說 the accused。它跟動詞 accuse（指控某人）同一個家族，這裡是把過去分詞當名詞用，專指「被指控的那一方」。

core核心畫面

Picture a courtroom and the one seat everyone's questions point towards. The person in it has not been decided about yet — the court is still working out whether the claim is true. The accused names that position in the room, not a verdict.

可以想成：法庭上有一個座位，所有的問題都朝著那裡去。坐在那裡的人還沒被定案，法院正在查那項指控成不成立。the accused 標示的是「站在被指控這一方」的位置，不是判決結果。
