我建议你找乔纳森·哈尔（Jonathan Harr）写的《A Civil Action》（民事诉讼）读一读。讲的是一名律师因为儿童死亡事件起诉一家大公司的故事。剧透一下：他的财力被对方彻底碾压，输得一败涂地。别看电影，书写得好得多。
I suggest you consider reading a book called A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr. It's about a lawyer suing a large company over the deaths of children. Hint: He was vastly outspent and crushed. Don't watch the movie, the book is much better.
……与1980年代马萨诸塞州沃本市受污染的地下水有关，这导致当地儿童白血病发病率在统计学上出现了异常升高。这起案件成了乔纳森·哈尔所著《A Civil Action》（民事诉讼）一书的素材原型，后来该书还被改编成了同名电影，由约翰·特拉沃尔塔主演。书和电影其实都相当不错，值得一看。
…to do with contaminated groundwater in Woburn, Massachusetts in the 1980s related to an statistically unusual increased level of Leukemia in the children there. The case was the basis for the book, A Civil Action, by Jonathan Harr, which was also turned into a subsequent movie of the same name, starring John Travolta. Both the book (and the movie) are actually quite good and worth checking out.

很多人可能不知道，特雷西除了写自己的小说之外，还深度参与了乔纳森·哈尔的《A Civil Action》一书。他和哈尔是朋友，当年就是他把这起法庭诉讼案告诉哈尔的。后来哈尔写作卡壳的时候，特雷西还帮他一起修改并对草稿提出反馈意见。
Something many may not know is that beyond his own novels, Tracy was also deeply involved in Jonathan Harr's book, "A Civil Action." He and Harr were friends, and he told Harr about the courtroom case. Later, when Harr would get stuck, he worked with Harr to edit and give feedback on his drafts.
