"jury" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 陪審團

Definition

陪審團是由一般民眾組成的一羣人，被選來聽取法庭案件並判斷事實，例如某人是否有罪。根據語境，這個詞也可以指比賽中的評審團。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

這個詞最常用於法庭審判：'the jury reached a verdict'、'jury duty'、'a jury trial'。在日常英語中，'judge' 和 'jury' 不一樣：法官主持審判，而陪審團負責判斷事實。在某些語境裡，尤其是比賽中，'jury' 也可以指評審小組，但這種用法在日常會話中較少見。
