Lesson 35 Justice was done 伸张正义Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题The word 'justice' is given two different meanings in the text. What is the distinction between them? The word justice is usually associated with courts of law. We might say that justice has been done when a man's innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt. Justice is part of the complex machinery of the law. Those who seek it undertake an arduous journey and can never be sure that they will find it. Judges, however wise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes.There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract concept. Reward or punishment are meted out quite independent of human interference. At such times, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like 'it serves him right', we are, in part, admitting that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord.When a thief was caught on the premises of large jewellery store on morning, the shop assistants must have found it impossible to resist the temptation to say 'it serves him right.' The shop was an old converted house with many large, disused fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys. Towards midday, a girl heard a muffed cry coming from behind on of the walls. As the cry was repeated several times, she ran to tell the manager who promptly rang up the fire brigade. The cry had certainly come form one of the chimneys, but as there were so many of them, the fire fighters could not be certain which one it was. They located the right chimney by tapping at the walls and listening for the man's cries. After chipping through a wall which was eighteen inches thick, they found that a man had been trapped in the chimney. As it was extremely narrow, the man was unable to move, but the fire fighters were eventually able to free him by cutting a huge hole in the wall. The sorry-looking, blackened figure that emerged, admitted at once that he had tried to break into the shop during the night but had got stuck in the chimney. He had been there for nearly ten hours. Justice had been done even before the man was handed over to the police.New words and expressions 生词和短语justice n. 正义，公正; 司法court　　n. 法院law　　n. 法律innocence　　n. 无辜undertake　　v. 承担; 着手做arduous　　adj. 艰苦的，艰难的abstract　　adj. 抽象的concept　　n. 概念，观念mete out　　给予，处置interference　　n. 干涉accord　　n. 一致premises　　n. 房屋convert　　v. 转变，改变disused　　adj. 不再用的，废弃的fireplace　　n. 壁炉muffle　　v. 捂住，厌抑chip　　v. 砍，削，凿blacken　　v. 使变黑emerge　　v.
