Exhibit一词我们非常熟悉，常见含义有作动词时的“展览，展出；卖弄，炫耀；”做名词时候的“展品；展出”等，如：His work was exhibited in the best galleries in America, Europe and Asia.他的作品在美国、欧洲和亚洲最好的美术馆展览过。He could exhibit a saint-like submissiveness.他可以装出一副圣人般的谦恭。The new exhibit will tour a dozen US cities next year. 这批新展品明年将在美国十二个城市巡回展出。

在法律英语中，Exhibit指的是“（在法庭上出示的）证据或者证据”，如向法庭、仲裁员等提交的作为证据的文件或物品、在提出申请或进行辩护时提出的附于起诉状、答辩状等的证明文件或向证人出示的、证人在作证过程中提到的文件或物品。其英文释义为“a document or other object that a lawyer shows in court as evidence in a legal case.”。同为“证据”，Exhibit不完全等同于“testimony”（ a formal written or spoken statement saying what you know to be true, usually in court），后者更偏向于“证词；证言；口供”，前者更偏向于“证物”。

参考例句：

The first exhibit was a knife which the prosecution claimed was the murder weapon.

在庭上出示的第一件物证是一把刀，控方称其是谋杀凶器。

His testimony was an important element of the prosecution's case.

他的证词是本起公诉案中的一个重要因素。

The jury has already asked to see more than 40 exhibits from the trial.

陪审团已经要求查看了审判中超过40件的证物。
