1.When a lawyer says "objection" during court, he is telling the judge that he thinks his opponent violated a rule of procedure.

   The judge's ruling determines what the jury is allowed to consider when deciding the verdict of a case.

2.If you’ve watched a fictional trial on television, you’ve probably heard a character scream “I object!”  Objections do happen in the courtroom, though they are usually less dramatic.  During testimony, the opposing party can formally object if the questioning is not following the rules of evidence.  Unlike on television, the attorney making the objection has to state a legal reason for interrupting the testimony.  There are many kinds of standard objections.   The following are examples:

如果你在电视上看过虚构的审判，你可能听到一个角色尖叫“我反对!”法庭上确实会出现反对意见，不过通常不会那么戏剧化。在作证过程中，如果讯问不符合证据规则，对方当事人可以正式提出异议。与电视不同，提出反对意见的律师必须陈述打断证词的法律理由。标准异议有很多种。下面是一些例子:

• Hearsay – Even if a witness didn’t directly observe the event in question, they still may only testify from their own personal knowledge.  Discussing something that was said by another person is called hearsay, and is prohibited.
• Irrelevant – Witness testimony must be related to the issue or event in question.  Off-topic testimony is not allowed.
• 道听途说——即使目击者没有直接观察到有问题的事件，他们仍然可能仅从他们自己的认识来作证。讨论别人说过的话叫做道听途说，这是被禁止的。
    不相关的——证人证词必须与问题或事件有关。不允许离题证言。

Ruling on objections.  Because it’s the job of judges to interpret and apply the law, they rule on each objection.  If the objection is sustained, the attorney must stop that line of questioning and move on to the next question.  If the objection is overruled, the attorney can continue with the question.  All objections and rulings are recorded in the official record of the trial by the court reporter.

裁决反对。因为解释和应用法律是法官的工作，所以他们会对每一个异议做出裁决。如果反对是成立的，律师必须停止这一问题，并进入下一个问题。如果反对被驳回，律师可以继续这个问题。所有异议和裁定均由法院书记官记录在正式的审判记录中。

3. Objections, though permissible during opening statements, are very unusual, and by professional courtesy are usually reserved only for egregious conduct. Generally, the prosecution in a criminal case and plaintiff in a civil case is the first to offer an opening statement, and defendants go second.
