?L35-1：Justice?was?done?

The word justice is usually associated with courts of law. We might say that justice has been done when a man's innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt. Justice is part of the complex machinery of the law. Those who seek it, undertake an arduous journey and can never be sure that they will find it. Judges, however wise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes.

?There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract conception. Reward or punishment are?meted?out quite independent of human interference. At such times, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like it serves him right, we are, in part, admitting that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord. When a thief was caught on the premises of a large jewellery store one morning, the shop assistants must have found it impossible to resist the temptation to say 'it serves him right'. The shop was an old-fashioned one with many large, disused fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys. '?

練習(xí)感悟：

怎么念都覺得不對，有很多生詞财著，沒有先聽一遍渡贾，直接看文章，有點看不懂同波。每日英語聽力里面是jewellery store, 給的文本則是fur store，看了下書叠国，是jewellery store未檩。

對著課文再念一遍，回答what's distinction between two different meanings of Justice?

the first one associates with courts of law,? a man should have to prove himself guilty or not in front of a court.?

the second meaning is that if someone has done something wrong and in the end, received punishment automatically, that's what justice is doing. There are no sentence, no conviction, no pleaded guilty, it just:

? It serves him right.

reward and punishment are meted out quite independent of human interference.
