"accused" in Chinese (Traditional)

被指控的人被告

Definition

Accused 指被說成犯了罪或做了錯事的人，尤其是在法律案件中。這個詞常作名詞使用，特別常見於正式或法律語境。

這個詞在法律英語中很常見：'the accused' 指受審的人。它比 'suspect' 更正式，通常用於正式起訴之後或法庭報導中。不要和動詞用法混淆，比如 'She accused him of lying.'

律師辯稱，**被告** 那天晚上沒有理由出現在那裡。

Everyone was watching the accused as the verdict was read.

In cases like this, the accused often stays silent until speaking with a lawyer.

在這種案件中，**被告** 往往會保持沉默，直到和律師談過以後。
