I mean, if you couldn't conceal

我的意思是
who the judge was going to be as well as you could the jurors,

如果法官人选不能像陪审员人选那样隐匿
you could--if there was a judge and he was important,

如果有法官并且他举足轻重
you might be able to bribe him.

你也许就有收买他的可能
Indeed, in our own system

确实在我们自己的体系中
it is not unheard of that judges are bribed.

也不乏听到贿赂法官的事
It's not even unheard of that

也常听到
they were unduly prejudiced in one direction or another.

过分偏袒一方的情况
The Athenians would have none of that.

雅典就没有这样的事
So, it was up to the contestants

所以结果取决于案件双方
in the case to cite the relevant laws and precedence,

对相关法律引证和优先次序
and it was up to the jurors to decide

取决于陪审团
