“自行辩护”常见的英文表达是 “defend oneself” 或 “make a self-defense”(后者更侧重于在法庭等特定场景下进行自我辩护陈述)。
defend oneself:这是一个较为宽泛和常用的表达,强调个体为自己进行辩护的行为,不局限于特定场景。例如:In court, he had the opportunity to defend himself.(在法庭上,他有机会为自己辩护。 )
make a self-defense:在法律语境中更为常用,尤其是在描述被告在法庭上陈述自己立场、反驳指控的情境。例如:The defendant chose to make a self-defense, explaining his actions in detail.(被告选择自行辩护,详细解释了他的行为。 )
