喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈlɔːjər/ · /ˈlɔːjə/律師

    Someone whose job is to help people with the law — to give advice, write legal papers, or speak for them in court.

    「lawyer」是處理法律事務的人最常用、最廣的詞，可以想成「懂法律、幫你跟法律打交道的人」。它包含給法律建議、寫合約、上法院替你說話這些工作。在美式英文裡，上法庭辯護的律師常叫 attorney，英式英文則分成 solicitor（處理文件、給建議）和 barrister（上法院辯護），但日常生活用 lawyer 就通。

You can picture a lawyer as the person who knows the rules of the law and stands on your side when you have to deal with it — giving advice, writing the official papers, and speaking for you in court when you yourself don't know the legal language.

可以想成律師就是那個熟悉法律規則、在你必須面對法律時站在你這邊的人——給你建議、幫你寫正式的法律文件、在法庭上替不懂法律語言的你開口說話。
