來源:網(wǎng)絡(luò)發(fā)布時間:2010-09-30
the benefit of doubt (在證據(jù)不足情況下)假定某人無辜
A:Who did it?
B:Don’t be so angry, Henry?
A:It must be Robert.
B:Maybe Robert did it, maybe he didn’t. If I were you, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s not so important anyway.
甲:這是誰干的?
乙:亨利,別發(fā)那么大的火好不好?
甲:準是羅伯特干的。
乙:也許是羅伯特干的,也許不是。如果我是你,我就先假定不是他干的。不管怎么說這件事也沒什么大不了的。
