the Chicago Seven
/ðə ʃɪˌkɑːɡəʊ ˈsevn/
/ðə ʃɪˌkɑːɡəʊ ˈsevn/
- a group of seven people who protested violently against the Vietnam War in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic Party convention (= national meeting to select a candidate for President). Their leaders were Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. They were arrested and put on trial, and five of them, including Hoffman and Rubin, were found guilty. A judge later said that the trial had been unfair, and they did not go to prison.
“芝加哥七人制”：由七个人组成的小组，在1968年民主党大会（代表选拔总统候选人的全国会议）期间针对芝加哥的越战进行了激烈抗议。他们的领导人是阿比·霍夫曼和杰里·鲁宾。他们被捕并接受审判，其中包括霍夫曼和鲁宾在内的其中五个被判有罪。一位法官后来说，审判是不公平的，他们没有入狱。
