当没有人真的惹上麻烦时,
Her friend James, who fidgeted nervously beside her, was accused of stealing an old train engineer’s hat that Larry had brought in for show-and-tell.

You all know that if someone steals something in my classroom, he or she automatically gets a week’s detention, but James must have been paying attention during our mock trial of Goldilocks last week.
你们都知道,如果有人在我的教室里偷东西,他或她就会自动得到一周的拘留,但是詹姆斯一定是在上周我们对高地克的模拟审判中注意的.
He asked for this trial, saying that everyone deserves his or her day in court—and he’s right.
他要求这个审判,说每个人都应该在法庭上度过他或她的一天,他是对的。
Like everyone else, he deserves to have his guilt or innocence determined by a jury of his peers through the due process of law.
