double hearsay

【英文】She noted that at the subsequent Nuremberg Trials“American rules of evidence are not to be applied by the judges.Hearsay and double hearsay evidence is permitted，and it is left entirely to the discretion of the judges whether or not the defense be permitted to question the authenticity or probative value of evidence.”

【译文】她注意到在后来的纽伦堡审判中，美国的证据规则不会被法官采用。容许采用传闻和双传闻证据，但无论是否容许被告质疑证据的真实性或验证性价值，都完全由法官进行自由裁量。

【解释】double hearsay意为“双传闻”，即作为证据的传闻陈述基于另一个传闻。

再如：

This double hearsay confession，coming from an anonymous source，is not mentioned in Gooding’s 1899 obituary，which instead recounts the events as generally recorded.〔译文：这一匿名的双传闻供述并没有在古丁1899年的讣告中提到，这恰恰解释了一般记载的那些发生的事件。〕
