翻译下这段吧

In the grand scheme of things these incidents are trivial. But each is enough to blight a life. It is no consolation to the victims that such random acts of injustice fit a global trend: respect for the rule of law is in decline. That is certainly the impression anyone following current affairs would have. (In Britain, for example, the prime minister Boris Johnson’s violation of his own lockdown rules led to his nearly losing a no-confidence vote on June 6th.)

在大背景下，这些事件都微不足道。但每一件事都足以毁掉一个人的一生。这种随机的不公正行为符合全球趋势：对法治的尊重正在下降，对于受害者来说，这并非安慰。任何关注时事的人肯定都会有印象。（例如，在英国，首相鲍里斯·约翰逊(Boris Johnson)违反了自己的禁闭规定，导致他在6月6日的不信任投票中险些落败。）
