法律英语词语用法区别英语中原本没有所谓法律英语,但由于有关法律方面的英语有其特殊的用法和规律,慢慢地就像科技英语、商业英语等一样,自成一门学科。
法律英语不同于“法言法语”(legal terms),而是跨越英语与法律之间的边缘学科,所以有人将法律英语译为English for the prdession。
许多地区,比如上海等地,还为此成立专门的培训机构。
由于英汉语言习惯的不同,加上长期以来约定俗成的用法的影响,法律英语中常常出现一些容易混淆或错用的词语,在中英互译中常会发生一些有趣的语言现象。
本文就是想以比较轻松的漫谈方式,与读者作一些共同探讨,以引起广大读者对法律英语的兴趣。
China, China's 和Chinese作定语时大有区别这三个词都可以作定语用,译成“中国的”,但其含义却有很大区别。
如China law firms是指“在中国的律师事务所”,未必是中国人开的,它应包括获准在中国设立的“外国律师事务所”(foreign law firms)。
若指中国律师开的律师事务所,应用Chinese law firms。
在法律文书中,这很有讲究。
在WTO法律文件中,如“中国经济的特性”(the special characteristic of China's economy);“中国的关税配额制度”(China's TRO system);“中国的具体承诺减让表”((China's Schedule of Specific Commitments);“中国专利法”(China's Patent Law)等用语中,几乎都用China's而不用Chinese。
但着重“中国人的”意义时,应该用Chinese。
如“中方”(Chinese side);“中国人”(Chinese nationals);“中国政府”(Chinese government);“中国执业律师”(Chinese national regis-tered lawyers)。

一词多义的常用单词Accept释义:accept在普通英语中的含义是接受,这一点无须赘述。
在法律英语accept也有两个最常用的意思:①承诺,是合同法中的概念,与邀约offer相对应,如A contract may be formed if an offer is accepted within the specified time and in the required manner。
如果在规定的时间并以特定的方式对一项邀约作出承诺,合同即可成立。
其他如revoke an acceptance(撤回承诺)等。
②Accept承兑,经常出现在票据法中,如The draft is accepted by the negotiating bank。
议付行对汇票进行了承兑。
Action释义:action是法律英语中最常用的单词之一,它有两个意思:①“诉讼”,相当于lawsuit,如Party A shall defend Party B in any action resulting from the infringement of the licensed intellectual property。
就与授权使用的知识产权相关的诉讼,甲方应当为乙方进行抗辩其他的如file an action(提起诉讼),cause of action(诉因)等。
②“作为”,与不作为(forbearance)对应,如Any negligent conduct of Party A, whether it is action or forbearance, that resulted in loss of party B shall be deemed to be breach of this Contract。
甲方的任何疏忽行为,无论是作为还是不作为,只要引起乙方损失,即可是为甲方对本合同的违约。
Advise释义:advise在法律英语中有两个常用意思:①律师等法律工作者提供法律建议,如The partner of the law firm advised the Manager on various specialist legal issues。
该律师事务所的合伙人就各种专业法律问题向经理提出了法律建议。
②通知,相当于notify或inform,如The use of advise in the sense of “inform, notify,”was restricted to business correspondence and legal contexts. Thus one may say the suspects were advised of their rights, but it would be considered pretentious to say you’d better advise your friends that the date of the picnic has been changed。
advise 表示“通知,告知”的这种用法局限地用于商业往来及法律情况。
因此可以说嫌疑犯被告知他们所具有的权利,但是你最好通知你的朋友,野餐的日期有所改变,这种说法被认为是做作的。
Acknowledge释义:acknowledge在法律英语中有两个常用意思:①承认,相当于admit,但其用法更加正式,一般不能用admit来替换,经常与confess连用,即acknowledge and confess,如:The suspect acknowledged and confessed all his criminal activities to the court.犯罪嫌疑人向法院承认了全部犯罪行为。
②告知收到(书信)等例句:Notices given by personal delivery shall be deemed effectively given on the date of personal delivery,provided that receipt shall be acknowledged in writing by the receiving party.参考译文:在专人送达之日视为有效送达,但收件方应书面确认已收到通知。
Application释义:application在法律英语中有两个常见意思:①申请,申请书,如:This two-stage process can be combined by submitting to the MOC a signed technology import contract with an application for import permit.上述两步程序也可合并进行,即向商务部提交已签署的技术引进协议和引进许可申请书。
②适用,实施,如:The application of the arbitration rules of the Arbitration Institute in effect on the date of the signing of this Agreement is not subject to judicial review.参考译文:仲裁庭适用本协议签署日有效的仲裁机构的仲裁规则时不受司法审查。
注:application的动词是apply,同样有两个意思,即①适用,实施经常用在apply sth to sth结构中,如apply the relevant laws and regulations to the disputes between the parties 适用相关法律法规解决当事人之间的争议②申请,通常用在apply to sb for sth结构,如apply to the Ministry of Commerce for approval of the establishment of a joint venture. 向商务部申请批准成立合资企业。
Bond释义:bond在法律英语中通常有两个含义:①保证书、保函,即一方为保证履约行为而向对方出具的书面保证,如The Seller requests the Buyer to provide a letter of bond 。
卖方要求买方出具一份保函。
②债券,通常指公司或政府发行的有担保的债券(Secured bond),也可以指泛指所有的债券,这个在前面的bond和debenture的区别中已经论述过,就无须多讲了。
Commission释义:commission在法律英语中通常有四个常用意思:①佣金,即佣金是在商业活动中,具有独立地位和经营资格的中间人的在商业活动中为他人提供服务所得到的报酬。
如He came to China to hold a talk about the commission for his new business。
他来中国是洽谈有关生意中的佣金问题。
②二是作为,用法与前面所说的action相通,但与omission(不作为相对),此处不再赘述。
③三是表示委员会,如中国证监会,就是China Securities Regulatory Commission,中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会为China International Economic and Trade Arbitrary Commission。
④是表示委托,She has received many commissions to design public buildings。
她接受多项委托, 设计公共建筑。
Contribution释义: contribution在法律英语中通常有两个意思:①出资,即中国公司法中所说的为了公司的设立而支付一定的金钱或实物。
如The Threshold for the contribution of a single-member company is RMB 100,000yuan,which shall paid in a lump sum.一人有限责任公司的最低出资额是人民币10万元,并应当一次性缴纳。
②分摊(额),通常用于共同侵权或共同保险中,每一责任人都根据自己的侵权行为或赔偿责任承担其应承担的份额。
如The right of contribution exists only in favor of a tortfeasor who has paid more than his pro rata share of the common liability, and his total recovery is limited to the amount paid by him in excess of his pro rata share. No tortfeasor is compelled to make contribution beyond his own pro rata share of the entire liability.分摊请求权仅因某一共同侵权行人支付了超过其在共同责任中的按份份额时而产生,其可获赔偿的数额以其支付超过其按份份额为限。
任何共同侵权人都不能够被强迫分摊超过其所占全部责任的按份份额Deposit释义:deposit在法律英语中通常最常用的意思有两个:①存款,这是他在普通英语和法律英语都很常见的意思,既可作名词也可作动词,如He has a deposit of 10,000yuan in ICBC。
他在工商银行有1万元的存款。
People tend to deposit their idle money in the bank。
人们喜欢把不用的钱存到银行。
②定金,保证金,相当于earnest money。
根据中国的合同法,缴纳定金方违约的,定金不予返还,接收定金方违约的,应当双方返还定金。
如The shop undertook to keep the goods for me provided that I paid a deposit.商店答应, 倘若我付定金就给我保留这批货。
不能替换的单词或词组法律英语结构严谨,用词考究,逻辑严密,文体较其它体裁更为正式、刻板,较多地使用被动语态,这是由于法律本身的特质决定的。
由于法律英语问题的庄重性,法律文书在单词选择上也有意选择一些非常正式的单词或词组进行表达,这些词在日常用语中很少使用,但在法律英语中出现频率非常高,且不能被普通英语中意思相同的词或词组代替。
下面对我们在法律文书中经常遇到或使用的一些正式表达进行分析和比较。
