Whether criminal trials should be shown on TV or not has always been acontroversial issue. After discussing the advantages of this practice and its disadvantages, I come to believe televising criminal trials is a good thing as long as its negative effects are brought well under control.

罪犯审判是否应该在电视上播放一直是一个有争议的问题。在讨论了这种做法的优点和缺点之后，我开始相信，只要负面影响得到很好的控制，电视转播犯罪审判就是一件好事。

Showing criminal trials on TV can serve multiple purposes at the same time such as educational, deterrent and regulatory. When watching how criminals are tried and sentenced, TV viewers will learn a great deal about the law and the legal system. In fact, it was from a televised trial that I finally understood it is a violation of law if you do not stop your car when you see a stop sign. Meanwhile, TV trials can help bring down the crime rate. People are fearful of their faces shown on TV after they commit crimes because it is generally considered to be a disgrace to the family. Finally, aware that they are watched by the general public, the lawyers and judges will have to make sure that the law is followed strictly and the justice is done to the highest standards. 

在电视上播放犯罪审判可以同时达到教育、威慑和监管等多种目的。当看到罪犯如何被审判和判刑时，电视观众会学到关于法律和法律制度的很多事情。事实上，正是从一次电视转播的审判中，我终于明白，如果你看到停车标志时不停车，那就是违法行为。同时，电视审判有助降低犯罪率。人们害怕犯罪后在电视上看到自己的脸，因为这通常被认为是家庭的耻辱。最后，意识到由于他们受到公众的关注，律师和法官将必须严格遵守法律，并以标准伸张正义。

Admittedly, TV trials, particularly the live shows, may bring about negative effects as well. Often the TV trials will present a lot of details of the criminal offenses such as killing, embezzling, cheating, so much so that they become a promotion of these crimes. As a matter of fact, many juvenile offenders admit they have been under great influences of TV criminal shows. More importantly, in TV criminal trials, lawyers and judges may often pay more attention to their own personal images to the TV viewers, thus forgetting the real purpose of the trial, which is to find if a person is guilty orinnocent and in this way, the justice may be sacrificed.

诚然，电视审判，特别是直播，也可能带来负面影响。电视审判往往会提供许多犯罪的细节，如杀人、贪污、欺骗，以至于这些细节宣扬了这些罪行。事实上，许多少年犯承认他们受到了电视刑事节目的巨大影响。更重要的是，在电视上犯罪审判，律师和法官往往会更多地关注自己给电视观众的个人形象，从而忘记审判的真正目的，即找出一个人是否有罪或者无辜，这样，正义就可能被牺牲。

However, I personally do like the idea of putting criminal trials on TV. Besides telling us right from wrong in a more vivid way and preventing us from committing crimes, TV trials will let us know how the punishment is meted out and how justice is done. This, I believe, is what our basic civil right is all about.   

然而，就个人而言，我喜欢电视播放犯罪审判这个想法。除了用更生动的方式告诉我们对错，防止我们犯罪外，电视审判还会让我们知道如何量刑，如何实现公正。我相信，这就是我们的基本民事权利的全部内涵所在。
