Real criticism
点到痛处
As a young lawyer working on my first big case，I was sitting in federal district court watching a prominent attorney question a witness. The attorney was trying，unsuc-cessfully, to elicit certain information. Finally the judge turned to the witness and asked a question that prompted the appropriate response.
作为一个年径的律师，当我经手第一个大案时，我坐在联邦区法院里现看一名有声望的律师提问证人。这位律师多次试图引出证人说出有用的证词，但都失败了。最后该法官来问证人了，只见他跟证人说了一句话，就从证人那儿得到了满意的回答。
"Thank you，Your Honor，"the attorney said. "How is it that you were able.to get the crux of the matter with one question after I had tried three times?"
“谢谢，尊敬的阁下.”律师说:“您跟他说了句什么就解决了我连问三次都问不出来的难题的呢?”
"Easy,"replied the judge. "I'm not paid by the hour.”
“容易，”法官说:“道理很简单，我不是按小时拿钱。”
