※ 引述《penghudust (秋塵)》之銘言:
: 個人認為這篇頗好笑 XD
: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
: The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a lower court's ruling that
: a group of Floridians had no cause of action to sue ABC-TV for discrimination
: against the handicapped. The original complaint claims that the automated
: telephone call-in quiz used to qualify participants for the television game
: show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" does not provide accommodations for
: deaf, blind or paralyzed people, thereby violating Title III of the
: American's With Disabilities Act by failing to ensure "that no individual
: with a disability is denied services or treated differently than anyone
: else." Michael Lanham, attorney for the plaintiffs, said they are seeking to
: change the audition process to allow the use of a Telecommunications Device
: for the Deaf (TDD) line, voice-command telephone devices and the option to
: speak with a live operator.

: Circuit Court of Appeals 巡迴審判法庭
: Discrimination 差別對待/歧視
: original complaint原申訴
: accommodations 調解
: plaintiff起訴人,原告
: p.s 大家覺得前幾篇介紹過的單字,要在其它篇重新講嗎?
: 過我睡覺時間半小時了! 大家晚安!
謝謝認真的秋塵
大意
巡迴審判法庭改判了一個由較低一階的法院裁決的案子。
這個案子主要是一個佛羅里達人
的團體控訴電視節目「誰想成為百萬富翁」的叩應
違反了美國身障法的第三條。因為這個
電視節目的叩應並沒有提供失聰、失明及其他癱瘓者和社會調和的機會。
原告的律師說他們正尋求能在電信上能符合身障者權利的設備。
overturn 顛覆
ruling 裁決
cause 原因
automated 自動化的
used to 過去時常
qualify 使具有資格
audition 聽,聽覺
process 過程,訴訟程序
※有沒有人能提供 they are seeking to change the audition process
to allow the use of a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD)
line, voice-command telephone devices
and the option to speak with a live operator.
這句話更好的翻譯?
謝謝
