19,Edward Coke(维基)
Sir Edward Coke (pronounced "Cook") (1 February 1552 – 3 September 1634), was a seventeenth-century English jurist and Member of Parliament whose writings on the common law were the definitive legal texts for nearly 150 years. Born into a family of minor Norfolk gentry, Coke traveled to London as a young man to make his living as a barrister. There he rapidly gained prominence as one of the leading attorneys of his time, eventually being appointed Solicitor General and then Attorney General by Queen Elizabeth. As Attorney General, Coke famously prosecuted Sir Walter Raleigh and the Gunpowder Plot conspirators for treason. In 1606, Coke was made Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, later being elevated, in 1613, to Lord Chief Justice of England. As a judge, Coke delivered numerous important decisions, and he gained a reputation as the greatest jurist of his age. Nonetheless, his unwillingness to compromise in the face of challenges to the supremacy of the common law made him increasingly unpopular with James I, and he was eventually removed as Lord Chief Justice in 1616.
Sir爱德华•柯克(2.1,1552—9.3,1634),17世纪英国法学家,国会成员,他的有关普通法的著作成为决定性的法律文本将近150年。柯克出生于一个诺福克(英格兰东部一郡)的小贵族家庭,年轻的时候游历到伦敦,以做律师谋生。在那里,他很快赢得不凡的表现,成为他那个时代领军的律师之一,最后被伊丽莎白女王指定为副司法部长(Solicitor General),接着成为司法部长(Attorney General)。在司法部长任职期间,柯克最为人所知的是起诉Sir沃尔特•若利(1603年)和火药密谋案(1605年)的共谋者为叛国罪。在1606年,柯克成为普通上诉法庭的首席法官,后来又得到提升,于1613年达到英格兰首席法官的职位(当时这个职位在司法系统中仅居于大不列颠大法官(Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain)之后)。柯克陈述过许多重要的法庭判决,并且赢得了声望,成为了他那个时代最伟大的法官。虽然如此,在反对普通法最高权力的不情愿的妥协中,使他逐渐的受到了詹姆斯一世国王的不欢迎,最终在1616年以首席法官的职位被去职。

顺便说一下,unwillingness to compromise 应该是对妥协的不愿意,也就是不肯妥协,说明最后也没妥协。 翻译成 "不情愿的妥协" 变成了最后还是妥协了,只是有点不情不愿,老大不高兴的样子。意思反了。 |
