give somebody the benefit of the doubt直譯是“既有疑點(diǎn)，利歸某人(被告)”?，F(xiàn)在，這句法律用語往往給引用到其他場合，意思是“對(duì)人家的懷疑既然未能證實(shí)，且往好的一面想”。
【例句】
I didn't know whether his story was true or not, but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
我不知道他說的是真是假，不過我決定姑且相信他這一次。
There is no evidence that the cat killed the canary while we were away.Let's therefore give him the benefit of the doubt.
沒有證據(jù)顯示貓兒趁我們不在的時(shí)候，搏殺了金絲雀；所以，不宜鹵莽斷定是牠殺的。
