法庭面前 meaning in English

presence of the court

After every action requiring exertion , it is conscience that saves us , for it supplies us with a thousand good excuses , of which we alone are judges ; and these reasons , howsoever excellent in producing sleep , would avail us but very little before a tribunal , when we were tried for our lives
在每一个需要努力的行动之后，总是良心来教了我们，它给我们提供了一千个可以自慰自解的理由，而对于这些理由，唯一的裁判者就是我们自己。但是，不论这些理由对于催人安眠能产生多妙的作用，到了法庭面前却很少能救我们的性命。
