Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

The study of law has been recognized for centuries as a basic intellectual discipline in European universities. However, only in recent years has it become a feature of undergraduate programs in Canadian universities. (46) Traditionally, legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person. Happily, the older and more continental view of legal education is establishing itself in a number of Canadian universities and some have even begun to offer undergraduate degrees in law.

长久以来，法律知识在这类学校里一直被视为律师们所专有的，而不是一个受教育者的知识

素养的必要组成部分

If the study of law is beginning to establish itself as part and parcel of a general education, its aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators. Law is a discipline which encourages responsible judgment. On the one hand, it provides opportunities to analyze such ideas as justice, democracy and freedom. (47) On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis as they cover and comment on the news. For example, notions of evidence and fact, of basic rights and public interest are at work in the process of journalistic judgment and production just as in courts of law. Sharpening judgment by absorbing and reflecting on law is a desirable component of a journalist’s intellectual preparation for his or her career.

另一方面，这一学科把这些概念结合到日常生活中，这与新闻记者每天报道和评论新闻时的做法是相同的。

(48)But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordi nary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibi lities of the news media.记者必须比普通的公民更了解法律，这种观点是基于对新闻媒体的特殊职责以及约定俗称的惯例的理解之上的。Politics or, more broadly, the functioning of the state, is a major subject for journalists. The better informed they are about the way th e state works, the better their reporting will be. (49) In fact, it is difficult to see how jou rnalists who do not have a clear grasp of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job on political stories.

事实上，很难看出那些对加拿大宪法的基本特征没有清楚掌握的记者们如何能在政治报道中做好自己的工作。

Furthermore, the legal system and the events which occur within it are primary subjects for journalists. While the quality of legal journalism varies greatly, there is an undue reliance amongst many journalists on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers. (50) While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, it is preferable for journalists to rely on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments. These can only come from a well-grounded understanding of the

虽然律师所提供的评论和反馈可能会提高新闻报道的质量，但是对记者而言，依靠自己的价值观做出判断则更加难能可贵。
