An acquittal is the court's official statement that someone is not guilty. After a trial, a judge or a jury may decide the person did not do the crime, or that the government did not prove it well enough. The result is an acquittal: on that charge, the person can walk free.

An acquittal acquittal指的是 is the court's official statement法院正式宣布 that某人 someone is not guilty無罪的聲明. After a trial審判結束後, a judge or a jury法官或陪審團 may decide可能會判定 the person did not do the crime被告沒有犯下這項罪行, or或是 that the government did not prove it well enough政府沒有充分證明這件事. The result這樣的結果 is an acquittal就叫做acquittal: on that charge在這項罪名上, the person這個人 can walk free可以自由離開，不用被關.

It is a law word, at home in news and in court, not at the dinner table. People sometimes stretch it in jokes — 'that's an acquittal from me' meaning 'I say you're fine' — but that is play.

It這 is a law word是個法律用詞, at home in news and in court常出現在新聞和法庭上, not at the dinner table不是餐桌上會聊的話. People人們 sometimes stretch it in jokes有時候會開玩笑地延伸這個詞 — 'that's an acquittal from me'『that's an acquittal from me（這算是我判你無罪）』 meaning意思是 'I say you're fine''我覺得你沒問題' — but不過 that is play那只是玩笑話.

Though actually, an acquittal is not the same as the whole world agreeing you are innocent. It means the court did not find you guilty. Sometimes that is because you really did not do it; sometimes it is because the proof was weak.

Though actually不過其實, an acquittal an acquittal is not the same as跟...不是同一回事 the whole world agreeing you are innocent全世界的人都同意你是清白的. It它 means意思只是 the court did not find you guilty法院沒有判定你有罪. Sometimes有時候 that is because是因為 you really did not do it你真的沒有做; sometimes有時候 it is because只是因為 the proof was weak證據不夠力.

It is also not the same as the police never taking you to court at all. If there is no trial, there is no acquittal. The word names the official result, not a prize and not a hug from the judge.

It它 is also not the same as也跟...不是同一回事 the police never taking you to court at all『警察根本沒有把你送上法庭』. If如果 there is no trial根本沒有審判, there is no acquittal就不會有acquittal. The word這個詞 names the official result講的是正式的結果, not a prize不是一個獎品, and也 not a hug from the judge不是法官給你的一個擁抱.
