49.What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?
49.只有美國公民才擁有的一項義務是？
Answer: Serve on a jury; Vote
答案：擔任陪審員；投票
Explanation: People who come to live in the United States as resident aliens (or people who can live and work in the United States but are not citizens) can do almost everything that American citizens can do, but there are two important differences.
解釋：以外國居民（或可以在美國居住和工作但不是美國公民的人）身份來美國居住的人幾乎可以做任何美國公民能做的事情，但他們之間有兩大不同。
Only U.S. citizens can vote and serve on a jury.
只有美國公民可以投票和擔任陪審員。
In most countries, the right (or freedom) to vote is only for citizens.
在大多數國家里，只有本國公民才有投票權（或自由）。
It makes sense that only the people who officially belong to a country should have the right to vote there.
只有正式屬于一個國家的人在該國才有投票權是有道理的。
Serving on a jury, though, is not a right that is talked about as much as voting.
盡管擔任陪審員不如投票權提到的那么頻繁。
In the United States, all people have the right to a trial by jury.
但在美國，人人都有由陪審團審判的權利。
A trial is a lawsuit or a case heard (or argued and discussed) in a court.
審判就是官司或在法庭上審理（或爭辯和討論）的案件。
If someone says that you have done something illegal (or against the law), you can argue about it in a court.
如果有人說你干了違法（或違反法律）的事情，你可就此事在法庭上爭辯。
This is your trial.
這就是你的審判。
The people who decide whether you are guilty (or that you have committed a crime) are the jury.
決定你是否有罪（或你犯了罪）的人就是陪審團。
The jury is the small group of people who will listen to the whole trial and then make a decision about whether or not you are guilty.
陪審團是聽取整個審判、然后再決定你是否有罪的一小組人員。
