LESSON 107 IMPEACHMENT OF WARREN HASTINGS
第一百零七課 控告沃倫·哈斯廷斯
The place in which the impeachment of Warren Hastings was conducted, was worthy of such a trial.
在這里，對沃倫·哈斯廷斯提出指控，值得進行這樣的審判。
It was the great hall of William Rufus; the hall which had resounded with acclamations at the inauguration of thirty kings;
這是威廉二世修建的那間大廳，曾經回蕩過三十位國王加冕典禮的歡呼聲。
the hall which had witnessed the just sentence of Bacon, and the just absolution of Somers;
這個大廳見證過對培根的公正判決，還有對索莫斯的公正赦免。
the hall where the eloquence of Strafford had for a moment awed and melted a victorious party inflamed with just resentment;
在這里，曾幾何時斯特拉福德的雄辯令人敬畏，并打消了獲得勝利的黨派的怨恨；
the hall where Charles had confronted the High Court of Justice with the placid courage which half redeemed his fame.
在這里，查爾斯憑借能夠挽回他一半聲譽的溫和的勇氣，面對最高法院的裁決。
Neither military nor civil pomp was wanting. The avenues were lined with grenadiers. The streets were kept clear by cavalry.
不論軍事還是公民的隆重儀式，這里都不鮮見。周圍的街道都由精銳士兵把守，大街都被騎兵隊肅清了。
The peers, robed in gold and ermine, were marshaled by heralds. The judges, in their vestments of state, attended to give advice on points of law.
穿著飾金的貂皮長袍的貴族按傳令官的指令列隊，身著指定服裝的法官就法律要點發表意見。
The long galleries were crowded by such an audience as has rarely excited the fears or the emulation of an orator.
觀者摩肩接踵的站在長長的旁聽席，很少被演說者的講話激起恐懼或者進行仿效。
There were gathered together, from all parts of a great, free, enlightened, and prosperous realm,
人們從一個很大的、自由的、開明的和興旺發達的國度的四面八方聚在一起，
grace and female loveliness, wit and learning, the representatives of every science and of every art.
每一種科學與藝術都體現出優雅和女性的姣美、風趣和學識。
