Correct or improve the translation of the following English sent

Correct or improve the translation of the following English sentences.The accused man wouldn't apologize as he knew he was in the right.译文:因为被告知道自己有权利这样做,所以他不肯道歉。
【正确答案】:

被告不愿道歉,因为他知道他是对的。


【题目解析】:本题主要考查对be in the right的理解。right本身有多种意思,如“右边,权利,正确”等。be in the right在这里的意思为“对的,有理的”,而不是“有权利”的意思。
