史密斯先生故意刁难，拒绝照章办事。

Mr. Smith was obstructive and refused to follow correct procedure.

他是个一丝不苟，照章办事的领导。

He is a stick, by-the-book leader.

我照章办事，将药片混在素食干酪里面。

I did as instructed and put the pill inside the veggie cheese.

因此，倒不如当个法律的座上宾还好得多。虽然法律铁面无私、照章办事，但至少不会过分地干涉正人君子的私事。

Wherefore it is better to be a guest of the law, which, though conducted by rules, does not meddle unduly with a gentleman's private affairs.
