You can picture justice as a balance scale that finally sits level — everyone getting exactly what is fair and deserved, nothing tilted in anyone's favour. From that single picture of 'fairness made real' grow both the abstract idea of fairness and the whole machinery (courts, laws, judges) built to deliver it.

可以把 justice 想成一座終於擺平的天秤:每個人都拿到他應得的、公道的那一份,沒有哪一邊被偏袒。整個字都圍著這個「讓公平真正落地」的畫面打轉——往內是「公平」這個抽象理念,往外則是為了實現它而蓋出來的整套機器:法院、法律、法官。
