I don’t see compelling reasons for an appeal here. What is to be gained? He’s not going to deny the use so the only purpose would be to reduce the sentence. If the reason to fight the sentence is because of considerations intrinsic to his case that deserve airing or because of fundamental principles or rights at stake, I could see it. But if it’s because other people got off with less, that’s a non-starter. Every case is different, life lacks mathematical precision, & the outcome of an appeal is never certain. What is certain is that an appeal would engender fresh rounds of controversy & prolong finality, making it very difficult to plan ahead in the interim, especially for a public figure.
我沒有看到在這裡有令人信服的理由來提出上訴。
還有什麼是可以得到？他是不會否認自己曾經使用毒品,來達到這樣的唯一目的,以便可能獲得減輕刑罰。如果有理由來挑戰判刑,在我可以看到範圍內,只是因為考慮到他的案件裡的一些內在因素,可以拿來拼一拼:
--被過度炒作或由於基本原則/權利被踐踏。但如果是因為其他反對的人數很少，這就是一個非首要的啟動行動。每一種案件的情況是不同的，生活缺乏數學精確度，那上訴的結果是沒有一定的準則。可以肯定的是，上訴將產生新一輪的爭議和延長最終的結局，使人們,尤其是公眾人物,很難在過渡時期，預先做出計劃。
Do I think the sentence is stiff considering the totality of circumstances? Yes. As you know, I had felt optimistic for sometime even before the prosecutor’s recommended sentence. That was b/c I had felt in my gut that actual time in jail was extremely unlikely. (I could now reveal that I was betting on 2 to 3 months of suspended jail time, so I was off by at least 50% – so much for my pretty good streak up to that point!) I had hoped but never believed that, realistically, he had much of a chance getting monetary fine only. Why? Remember some time ago you asked me a series of questions, one of which was what would make a judge impose a tough sentence? I said something to the effect that a chief reason would be the growing concern by Korean drug enforcement authority that the relatively cheap E and K are rapidly gaining popularity among urban youth. Since that population segment is always described to be particularly susceptible to influence by celebrities, the court would feel the need to send a strong message through JH. Why him and not the others? B/c he’s the most well-known caught with E and K so far. All the publicity surrounding him and the sensational stories of urban youth using drugs and behaving wantonly in night clubs certainly did not help.
我是否認為這樣的刑罰在考慮整體情況後,是否過於嚴厲？答案是肯定的。
如你所知，我曾在一段時間裡感到樂觀.甚至在檢察官的建議刑期之前也這麼想過。這是因為我覺得在我的直覺中，實際的監獄時間可能性是極小的。 （我現在可以透露，我是打賭處於2至3個月的緩刑監禁的時間，所以我是遠離了實際刑罰的至少50 ％ -這一點.以我相當出色的估計能力,還是偏離了許多！）
我曾希望，但從未認為，實際上，他有很大的機會只獲得罰款。為什麼？記得前一段時間你問我的一系列問題，其中之一是如何使法官施加強硬刑罰？
我說某些東西所造成的影響，其中一個主要原因就是韓國的禁毒執法機關會認為,相對價格便宜的E和K正在城市青年群中迅速的流行,造成越來越多的關注。因為這部分人口始終是被描述為是特別容易受到名人影響的一群體，法院就認為有必要通過JH,發出一個強有力的信息。
為什麼是他，而不是別人呢？因為，他是迄今在發現與E和K有連繫的人中,最有名氣的。所有的宣傳都圍繞著他,城市青年使用毒品的聳人聽聞故事，和在夜總會的肆意行為,當然沒有在警惕濫用毒品方面上起到任何的幫助。
It’s only natural that there would be much chatter about his military service. Mandatory military service has always been a hot-button issue in Korea (and other countries with similar mandatory system), and there was a lot of interest after JH mentioned it during trial, was misunderstood and misquoted, and his lawyer was forced to explain the law to the press and the public in order to calm the fury. My rough understanding is that JH could (and would have to) serve in the military for two years, but probably not as the kind of class 2 or 3 soldier he said he wanted to be (longer physical training followed by active duty in some military base). But that is not his doing. I think most people understand, or are beginning to understand, that it is up to the military and that it would be the unintentionally ironic result of the interplay of military law and the judge’s sentence, where a heavier sentence could mean an easier service and vice versa. I think there are a number of famous actors/entertainers who finished off their military service in the same manner, near their home base. Would the critics now want to suggest that he receive a lesser sentence in order to serve in active duty?! Also, there are many legitimate and honorable reasons why some people could not be class 2 or 3 soldiers. Would the critics now want to denigrate all those who have served or are serving community-based military service?!
關於他服兵役這件事件上,自然將會有許多傳言。
強制性兵役在韓國一直是一個熱點話題（和其他國家類似的強制性制度），並在JH於審判期間提到它後,出現了很大的興論興趣，被誤解和錯誤引用，他的律師被迫向新聞界和公眾，解釋這項法律以平息憤怒。
我粗略的理解是，JH可以（而且是必須）服兵役兩年，但可能不會作為第2種或3種級別的士兵，他說，他要這麼做（在較長的體能訓練之後和在一些軍事基地執行現役）。
但是，這並不是他可以決定的事情。我想大多數人都明白，或正開始理解，這是由軍方所決定的，而這也是由于軍事法律和法官的判決相互影響之下,所造成的具有諷刺意味的無意結果，較嚴重的刑罰可能意味著更輕鬆的兵役服務,而反之亦然。
我認為有一些著名演員/藝人以同樣的方式結束了他們的兵役服務，更接近他們的大本營。
現在的批評是否將會建議讓他獲得到較輕的刑罰,以便可以服務於現役？！
另外，當然還是有許多合法的和體面原因，解釋為什麼有些人不能當第2或第3級別的士兵。
現在的批評,是否想貶低所有提供這些服務或以社區服務為基礎軍事服務的人？ ！
I fully understand the frustration and the hurt and the anger. They take time to process and It’s healthy to vent. But ultimately, there’s no point in comparing sentences or viewing him purely as a victim. He was foolish to succumb to a friend’s seduction and was indiscreet to take drugs with strangers. It was an unfortunate misstep that, as long as it is kept a secret, would bind him to those people. He made the decision to owe up to it at great cost but at the same time freed himself from an insidious secret. These are not the thinking and actions of a bitter or self-pitying victim but a man who has the strength and presence of mind to make hard choices in order to rid a cancerous growth and lead the life he wants to lead. That’s a very positive outlook on life. That’s something to be treasured and honored.
我完全理解關於所有粉絲們的沮喪,痛苦和憤怒。
他們需要時間，過程和讓這些情緒得以健康的發洩。
但最終，對於比較他的判決或把他純粹的當成一位受害者來說,這些都是沒有意義的。
他是傻乎乎的屈從於他的一個朋友的誘惑，是輕率的與陌生人一起採取藥物。
這是一個不幸的失誤，只要它仍被當成一個祕密，將不會把他和這些人一起聯繫起來。但是,他決定忠誠的坦承並付出了很大的代價，但同時也擺脫了這陰險的秘密。
這些都不是一位擁有痛苦的思想和行動,或自我憐憫的受害者所能夠做出來的決策，而是一位有著強度的力量和存在堅強心態的男人，所做出的艱難選擇，以消除邪惡的毒瘤持續增長和邁向他所希望的生活方式。這是一個非常積極的人生觀。這是值得珍惜和感到榮幸的。
So, when one puts away the frustration and the hurt and the anger, the thing to focus on, as far as the sentence is concerned, is whether it nevertheless provides an opportunity for JH to return to a more normal life and, when he’s ready, to resume his acting pursuits down the road. I think so. As long as his record gets expunged at the end of a one-year suspension, whether it’s 1 month vs. 6 months is more a symbolic gesture by the judge on the seriousness of using E and K than anything else. (If he received only a monetary fine, I am sure there’d be howls of inappropriately lenient sentence. He can’t win one way or the other right now b/c he’s become a lighting rod, and anyone with access to a computer gets to opine.) Under the terms he could pay the fine, do the community service, and probably begin his 2-year military duty during suspension. Within a year, the sentence is over. He continues with his community-based military service till done. I thought it interesting that the judge made a special effort to mention the petitions. He didn’t need to but he did. From my perspective, he was essentially telling the young man that he’s got a lot of love and support out there and he should do something with it and not squander it. Indirectly, this mentioning confirms and broadcasts the strong support JH still enjoys among his fans, something the entertainment industry would take notice when deciding whether to take a chance on JH in the future. This is an important intangible if JH wants to pursue acting again, which he most likely will after a few years of quiet work away from the public eye. Ultimately, it is up to him to make the most of his life.
所以，當在一離開了挫折,傷害和憤怒的情緒後，把事情的重點放在，就刑罰而言，不管它是否提供了JH一次想要回到更正常生活的機會，當他已經做好準備，恢復他所追求演藝道路上。我想是這樣的。
只要他的紀錄在結束了為期一年的緩刑期間後被刪除，不管它是1個月或與6個月的對比,這只是一個由法官在嚴重性使用E和K或其他因素,所做出的一個象徵性的懲罰動作。（如果他只獲得了罰款的刑罰，我相信會有人認為這是不當的寬大判刑而招致一片咆哮之聲。現在,他不能贏得這種或那種方式，因為他已經成為一個避雷針，和任何人都有機會獲得進入他的電腦以發表意見。）
根據條款,他可以支付罰款，做社區服務，並可能在緩刑期間,開始他的2年兵役服役。
在一年之內，以上的刑罰將會結束。他將繼續他以社區服務為基礎的兵役一直到結束為止。
我覺得有意思的是，法官在提到了請願書時,作出了特別努力。
法官其實並不需要特別提到這點，但是他卻特定這麼做了。(注:一般上法官下判時,不會特定提到自己所做出的判刑是間接地被大眾的力量所影響,雖然那的確是一個在考慮刑罰時,所可能斟酌的因素)
從我的角度來看，他主要是告訴這位年輕的男子，從請願書這方面,已經確切的證明,他還是擁有很多的愛和支持，並提醒他,在這片愛與支持的力量下,他應該做些什麼，而不是白白浪費了這些關懷。
間接證實了JH仍然從他的粉絲群中,享有強力的支持,而一些娛樂業將會注意到這一點,並在決定是否在未來決定給JH一個機會時考慮到這一部分。
如果JH希望再次追尋他的演藝生涯,這將是一項重要的無形資產，因為他很有可能將在幾年後,在進行低調的工作時,逐漸遠離了公眾的視線。說到底，那是由他自己決定,今後他的大部分生活將如何渡過。
So think positive thoughts while he tends his own private garden and send your support to him periodically. If you and the two Amy’s ever want me to help you write something, just ask. I’d be my pleasure.
因此，請正面積極的思考，當他處於自己的私人花園時,繼續定期給予他你的支持。
如果你和兩位AMY都希望我來幫助你們寫些什麼給予JH,盡管告訴我,我想這是我的榮幸。

月小亮:
有時候,我真的覺得自己對於阿呆的所謂'了解',遠遠不如律師.她不但見解精妙絕倫,分析能力精湛,看透力十足透徹,對於人性,社會關係,大眾反應的推測,也絕對有其信服力.
同樣的,在了解阿呆的想法,心情這方面,她完全可以從很精準的角度,指出很多被大多數人所忽略的重點,來勸解一片憤憤不平之聲.
我一邊翻譯,一邊覺得感動.尤其在於,我們幾乎每個人都在埋怨法官審理上的偏差手法,
卻忽略了法官特定說出請願書這一要點,來隱喻了鼓勵阿呆的心情.(傻呆雖然呆,相信他可以體會到)
的確,法官可以說是決策人.什麼想說,什麼拒絕說,完全由他來決定.
他操控一切生死權.不管在刑罰,教誨被告或是譴責罪犯的事項上,無人可以指使他改變行事手法.
如果沒有律師提出這一要點,愚昧的我,真的完全漠視了.
更重要的是,律師也看出了阿呆破釜沈舟的堅決心態.
我們一般都把阿呆當成受害者(他的確也是受害者),總認為他可能是在沒有做好心理建設下,在警察局就這樣傻呼呼的自己坦承了一切.卻沒有想過(可能有人會思考到這一點,但是據我所知,一開始幾乎人人都認定阿呆是在沒有律師隨行的情況下,沒有專業人員給予保留性質的建議口供下,也在無法預測到其嚴重性,而自供了自己的錯誤)阿呆在去警察局時,也許早就已經決定把醞釀了許久,欲把毒瘤除之而痛快的心態下,堅定地選擇走向了這條將會付出昂貴代價的道路.
阿呆,你真讓我感覺到無比的驕傲!!!
律師的溫暖貼心,也在於顧慮到習慣性在未來歲月裡,將把自己隱藏在私人空間裡自我贖罪的阿呆,絕對需要定期的鼓勵與關懷.
要我們承諾將繼續定期以行動付出愛,讓阿呆在徬徨時可以獲得堅持下去的力量.
承諾了會無條例地繼續協助我們..............感激..真的感激..........................
