A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
法律
Law
Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.
写作有透视法、明暗法，就像绘画或音乐一样。如果你生下来就知道这些，那很好。如果没有，学习他们。然后根据自己的需要重新排列规则。
When a law enforcement officer apprehends an illegal immigrant, it makes no sense to simply release that individual who has been breaking our laws with no threat of sanction or penalty.
当一名执法人员逮捕一名非法移民时，仅仅释放这名在没有制裁或惩罚威胁的情况下违反我国法律的人是毫无意义的。
My job is to interpret the law based on how the legislature and the court has done it and then, of course, to use our system of justice to develop some new legal tools and new concepts.
我的工作是根据立法机构和法院的做法来解释法律，然后，当然，利用我们的司法系统来开发一些新的法律工具和新概念。
In the old covenants the people were sprinkled with blood of calves without, in their bodies, to bind them to keep the law; else we were bound to just damnation, for the breaking of it.
在旧的契约中，人们把牛犊的血洒在身体上，以约束他们遵守律法;否则，我们一定会因为破坏了它而受到诅咒。
Not that pleading can be taken as a test, for the forms of action, notably Debt, ignore the fundamental difference between duties imposed by law and duties created by the will of the parties.
这并不是说辩护可以被当作一种考验，因为诉讼形式，特别是债务，忽视了法律规定的义务与当事人意愿所创造的义务之间的根本区别。
The basic premise of this is that, yes, people have learned to clone each other, but that cloning is illegal. Not that it's bad, just that the law as it is now, is that if you die, you're dead.
其基本前提是，是的，人们已经学会了克隆彼此，但克隆是非法的。这并不是坏事，只是现在的法律规定，如果你死了，你就死了。
The law is constantly based on notions of morality, and if all laws representing essentially moral choices are to be invalidated under the due process clause, the courts will be very busy indeed.
法律总是建立在道德观念的基础上，如果所有代表道德选择的法律都要根据正当程序条款被废除，法庭将会非常忙碌。
It is always possible for the court to overreach its proper bounds and perhaps declare a lot of laws unconstitutional and frustrate the will of the majority in a way that it ought not be frustrated.
法院总是有可能超越其适当的界限，也许宣布许多法律违宪，并以一种不应该感到沮丧的方式挫败多数人的意愿。
If you deny that any principles of conduct at all are common to and admitted by all men who try to behave reasonably - well, I don't see how you can have any ethics or any ethical background for law.
如果你否认任何行为准则都是所有试图理性行事的人所共有的，并得到他们的承认，那么，我看不出你怎么会有任何道德或法律方面的道德背景。
Jesus was not denying the legitimacy of biblical law. On the contrary, He was affirming biblical law. We love God first; God commands us to keep His word; therefore, we must enforce the law on ourselves.
耶稣并没有否认圣经律法的合法性。相反，他肯定圣经律法。我们首先爱神;神命令我们遵守他的话;因此，我们必须自己执法。
To exclude all jurors who would be in the slightest way affected by the prospect of the death penalty would be to deprive the defendant of the impartial jury to which he or she is entitled under the law.
排除所有可能受到死刑前景最轻微影响的陪审员，就等于剥夺被告根据法律享有的公正陪审团的权利。
The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?
断裂波和它收缩时的肌肉遵循同样的规律。精致的线条汇集了身体的全部力量，在一个大胆的平衡。难道我的灵魂会遇到如此严峻的曲线，在它形成的道路上行进吗?
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
No law or ordinance is mightier than understanding.
没有任何法律或条例比理解更强大。
I wish there was some way to get the law changed. They can write anything about you after you're deceased and there's nothing you can do about it.
我希望有什么办法能使法律改变。他们可以在你死后写关于你的任何事情，而你对此无能为力。
