Daily English·Innocent
- In a court case, the judge will ask you: how do you plead – guilty or innocent?
在法庭上，法官會問你：無罪或有罪？
- Yes, and guilty means that you have committed a crime. Innocent means that you haven't. “I plead innocent” means “I didn't break the law”. “I was just an innocent bystander!”
是的，guilty表示你犯了罪。innocent表示你沒有犯罪。“I plead innocent”表示“我沒有犯法”，“我只是個無辜的旁觀者！”
- I remember that Britney Spears song: I'm not that innocent? I guess she just wanted to be taken more seriously by people.
我記得布萊妮有首歌唱過 I'm not that innocent（我沒那麼幼稚）。 我想她可能是希望能讓大家對她更加尊重吧。
- Actually, innocence can be associated with immaturity or idealism. And these things are not always useful in the adult world.
事實上，innocence可以和未成年或者理想主義者聯繫起來。這些形容詞在成年人的世界裏並不是都那麼好用的。
innocence is not only a legal matter but also relate to smaller moral issues, like making someone feel scared, or offering them bad advice.
