专业提示

法律 vs 非法律语境

在法律语境中,‘plea’通常指被告对指控的正式回应(如‘plea of guilty’认罪,‘plea of not guilty’不认罪)。在非法律语境中,指恳求或请求,如‘a plea for mercy’(恳求怜悯)。

黄金法则

区分‘plea’与‘plead’

‘plea’是名词,指恳求或抗辩;‘plead’是动词,指恳求或(在法律上)抗辩。例如:‘He made a plea for mercy.’(名词)vs ‘He pleaded for mercy.’(动词)。

词源

中古英语‘plee’(诉讼、请求),源自古法语‘plee’(诉讼),进一步源自拉丁语‘placitum’(法令、决定),与‘placere’(使满意)同源。

用法说明

‘plea’多用于正式或法律语境,强调恳求或抗辩的严肃性。在非正式场合,可替换为‘request’或‘begging’;但在法律文书中,必须使用‘plea’以保持准确性。
