hard-nosed强硬

You have a D.A... he doesn't talk about... when they convict you or how they convict you... he's talking about how he's going to kill you. He don't give a damn if you're innocent. He don't give a damn if you're guilty. He's talking about killing you. You get numb. You get.... It's like a bad dream. You want to wake up, but you can't do it. Fifteen times, 20 times a day, I hear this same story... about what happens when a man is electrocuted. His eyeballs pop out. His fingernails pop out. His toenails pop out. He bleeds out of every orifice he's got. They don't care.... They don't care. All they want to do is talk about how they're going to kill you. That's the only thing that they cared about and talked about. At that point, that's all they're wanting.

你碰上一位地方检察官…… 他不谈…… 你是怎么被定罪的，或者他们怎么给你定的罪…… 他只谈打算怎么弄死你。 你是不是无辜的，他才不管。 你有没有罪他都不在乎，他满脑子就是怎么弄死你。 人会变麻木。你会…… 就像一场噩梦，你想醒过来，却醒不了。 一天十五遍、二十遍，我都在听同样的说法…… 讲一个人被电刑处死时会怎么样。 他的眼珠子会爆出来。 他的手指甲会爆出来。 他的脚趾甲会爆出来。 他浑身每个孔都在往外冒血。 他们不在乎…… 他们根本不在乎。 他们只想谈一件事：怎么把你弄死。 他们关心的、挂在嘴上的，只有这个。 到那时候，他们要的就只有这个。

Dennis filed the motion for a new trial... then we filed an amended motion for a new trial. About 20 days later, we were to have a hearing on it. Both Robert Miller and his wife testified there. But we could not bring out the fact... that they had said that they were gonna get that reward money... and that they didn't care whether they saw anything or not... but their car was too steamed up. We were not allowed to get any of that in... because it was held that it was impeaching testimony... and therefore it came too late. We kept running into blank walls.

丹尼斯提交了新审动议…… 接着我们又提交了补充的新审动议。 大约二十天后，这动议要开庭听证。 罗伯特·米勒和他妻子都到场作了证。 但我们没法把这件事摆出来…… 他们说过自己冲着那笔赏金去…… 还说看没看见根本无所谓…… 只不过他们的车窗上全是雾气。 这些内容，法庭一句都不许我们提…… 因为那被认定为弹劾证人可信度的证词…… 所以来得太晚了。 我们四处碰壁。
