第31解

continuance of trial

【英文】The district court decided to grant a continuance of trial to the defense.

【譯文】地區法院決定對被告延期審判。

【解釋】不能將continuance of trial理解為“審判繼續”，而應該將其譯為“審判延期”。

再如：

Good cause must be shown to get a continuance of trial.The judge decides what a good cause is.Put all your reasons in the motion for a continuance of trial because the judge may rule without a hearing.〔譯文：要想延期審判，需提出正當理由。理由是否正當，由法官做出裁決。將所有要求延期審判的理由在請求書里加以陳述，因為法官不需聆聽就可以做出裁決。〕
