第二部分
Foreman: Is there anything else?
陪审长：大家还有什么要补充的吗？
No. 8: Yes. I think we proved that the old man couldn't have heard the boy yell, "I'm going to kill you." But supposing he really did hear this phrase, how many times have all of you used it? Probably thousands. We say it every day. This doesn't mean we're going to kill somebody.
8号陪审员：是的。我想我们已经证明了那个老人不可能听到那孩子的那句喊声——“我要杀了你。”就算他真的听到了，我们大家说过多少次这样的话？很可能几千次了吧。我们每天都在说。这并不意味着我们就真的要去杀掉某个人。
No. 3: What are you trying to give us here? The kid yelled it out at the top of his lungs. Anybody says a thing like that, the way he did, he means it!
3号陪审员：你这是想告诉我们什么？那孩子是高声喊出来的。凡是像他那样子说过这种话的人就会说到做到。
No. 8: Do you really think the boy would shout out a thing like this so the whole neighborhood could hear it? He's much too bright for that.
8号陪审员：你真的认为那孩子会那样高声喊出来，以便让所有的街坊邻居都听到？他这样做也聪明过头了吧。
No. 10: Bright! He's a common ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English.
10号陪审员：聪明！他是个普通的无知的大傻瓜。他甚至连英语都说不好。
No. 11: (Correcting him) He DOESN'T speak good English.
11号陪审员：（纠正10号）他英语说得“不好”。
No. 5: Mr. Foreman, I'd like to change my vote to not guilty.
5号陪审员：陪审长先生，我想改投无罪票。
Foreman: The vote is now nine to three in favor of guilty.
陪审长：现在的结果是9票赞成有罪，3票赞成无罪。
No. 11: I would like to say something. It seems to me that this man has some very good points to make. And from what was presented at the trial, the boy looks guilty on the surface. But if we look deeper... There is a question I would like to ask. Let us assume that the boy really did commit the murder. This happened at 10 after twelve. Now, how was he caught by the police? He came back home at 3 o'clock or so, and he was captured by two detectives in the hallway of his house.
11号陪审员：我想说几句。在我看来，这位先生提出的一些观点很有道理。从审讯时证人们的证词看，这个孩子表面上是有罪的。但如果我们深入分析一下的话，……我有个问题要问。让我们假设这个男孩真的犯了杀人罪，凶杀案发生在12点10分，那么警察又是怎样逮着他的？他在3点左右回到家中，然后在自家的门厅里被两位警探抓住。
