"jury" in Chinese (Simplified)

• 陪审团

Definition

陪审团是由普通民众组成的一组人，被选来听取法庭案件并判断事实，例如某人是否有罪。根据语境，这个词也可以指比赛中的评审团。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

这个词最常用于法庭审判：'the jury reached a verdict'、'jury duty'、'a jury trial'。在日常英语中，'judge' 和 'jury' 不一样：法官主持审判，而陪审团负责判断事实。在某些语境里，尤其是比赛中，'jury' 也可以指评审小组，但这种用法在日常会话中较少见。
