a vivid account of the new book Divorce Talk
对新书《Divorce Talk》的生动描述
Many Americans regard the jury system as a concrete expression of crucial democratic values, including the principles that all citizens who meet minimal qualifications of age and literacy are equally competent to serve on juries; that jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin; that defendants are entitled to trial by their peers; and that verdicts should represent the conscience of the community and not just the letter of the law.
许多美国人将陪审团制度视为关键民主价值观的具体体现，包括以下原则：所有符合年龄和读写能力最低要求的公民在担任陪审员方面都是同样胜任的；陪审员应从社区中具有代表性的各个群体中随机选出；不应因种族、宗教、性别或民族出身而剥夺任何公民担任陪审员的权利；被告有权接受同辈的审判；以及陪审团的裁决应体现社区的良知，而不仅仅是法律条文。

It is against that background that the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed over to DeepMind the records of 1.6 million patients in 2015 on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients' rights and their expectations of privacy.
正是在这样的背景下，信息专员伊丽莎白·登纳姆（Elizabeth Denham）对 NHS 下属的皇家自由医院信托机构发布了严厉的裁决，该机构于 2015 年基于一份过于笼统的协议，将 160 万患者的记录交给了 DeepMind，而该协议对患者的权益及其隐私预期考虑得远远不够。
