ANITA ANAND: Welcome to the fifth and final BBC Reith Lecture of 2019 with the former Supreme Court Judge, Jonathan Sumption. 

欢迎来到第五次也是2019年最后一次睿思讲座来听前最高法院法官Jonathan Sumption的演讲。

We’re at Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Culture, housed in a shiny new building which opened only last September, for the last of this series examining the relationship between the law and politics. 

今天，我们在Cardiff大学的新闻媒体和文化学院，坐落在一座去年9月刚刚开放的崭新建筑中，听这个探讨法律与政治关系的系列讲座的最后一次演讲。

So far, Jonathan has questioned what he calls law’s expanding empire and the mission creep of the European Convention of Human Rights. He has discussed how best democracy can accommodate political difference and has warned the UK against going down the American constitutional road. Now, he is going to offer some suggestions to try and re-energise political participation, both in our institutions and political processes. The lecture is called “Shifting the Foundations”.

到目前为止，Jonathan对他称之为法律帝国的扩张和欧洲人权公约的使命扩张进行了质疑，讨论了民主制可以如何容纳政治分歧并警告英国不要走美国的宪政之路。现在他将提出一些建议，以尝试重新激活制度和政治进程中的政治参与。讲座题目是“调整基础”。

ANITA ANAND: Welcome to the third of this year’s Reith Lectures with the former Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Sumption. 

欢迎来到今年睿思第三次讲座听前最高法院法官Jonathan Sumption演讲。

We are in Edinburgh’s Parliament House, a building which dates back to the 16^th century. This place has long been home to the Court of Sessions, the highest court in Scotland, and here in the great hall we are dominated by a stunning stained glass window depicting the moment King James V confirmed the Court of Sessions right here in 1532. This is a place, therefore, steeped in regal and legal history, an entirely suitable setting for Jonathan Sumption to continue his series of lectures on the role of the law in our public and private life.

今天我们在爱丁堡议会大厦，始建于16世纪，这里长期以来一直是苏格兰最高法院——苏格兰高等民事法院所在地。在大厅里，令人惊叹的彩色玻璃窗俯视着我们，上面是国王詹姆斯五世于1532年在此确认高等法院的画面。因此，这饱含法律和法律历史的地方，非常适合Jonathan Sumption继续他关于法治与生活公私两面的讲座。

So far Jonathan has questioned what he calls “law’s expanding empire” and discussed how best democracy can accommodate political difference. Today he will be taking a look at human rights, in particular the role of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Strasbourg Court. The lecture is called Human Rights and Wrongs. 

迄今为止，Jonathan质疑了他所谓法律帝国的扩张，并讨论了民主应该如何容纳政治差异。今天，他将着眼于人权，特别是欧洲人权公约和斯特拉斯堡法院的角色。讲座的题目是“人权及其滥用”。

Please welcome the BBC 2019 Reith Lecturer, Jonathan Sumption.
