※ 引述《penghudust (秋尘)》之铭言:
: 个人认为这篇颇好笑 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 巡回审判法庭
: Discrimination 差别对待/歧视
: original complaint原申诉
: accommodations 调解
: plaintiff起诉人,原告
: p.s 大家觉得前几篇介绍过的单字,要在其它篇重新讲吗?
: 过我睡觉时间半小时了! 大家晚安!
谢谢认真的秋尘
大意
巡回审判法庭改判了一个由较低一阶的法院裁决的案子。
这个案子主要是一个佛罗里达人
的团体控诉电视节目「谁想成为百万富翁」的叩应
违反了美国身障法的第三条。因为这个
电视节目的叩应并没有提供失聪、失明及其他瘫痪者和社会调和的机会。
原告的律师说他们正寻求能在电信上能符合身障者权利的设备。
overturn 颠覆
ruling 裁决
cause 原因
automated 自动化的
used to 过去时常
qualify 使具有资格
audition 听,听觉
process 过程,诉讼程序
※有没有人能提供 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.
这句话更好的翻译?
谢谢
