In the post-colonial context: the concept that colonial territorial boundaries continue in the post-colonial period and that decolonized territories are not terra nullius (and thus, subject to occupation). See, for example, Burkina Faso v. Mali

vel non （或者不是）"or not "

法律英语

法律英语词汇 1、具有特殊法律含义的常用词 在英语语言的发展过程中，词义的演变十分复杂。总体来说，英语词义是在“共时性变化”和“历时性变化”的交替变化中发展演变的。下列常用词语是人们所熟知的一些单词或词组，然而在法律语言中他们却具有独特的含义，完全不同于在普通语言中的含义。例如，单词“action”在法律中的含义是“诉讼”：“damage”是造成的“损坏”而“damages”为“损害赔偿金”：“demise”（死亡）在法律中的含义是“转让，遗赠”，这个词经常出现在出租、赠与这类场合，例如：“demise premises”（遗赠房产）。“consideration”通常指“考虑” “体贴”，而在法律英语中的含义是“对价” “约因”：“instrument”（器具）在法律中的含义是“法律文件”。法律英语词汇的词义是在英语的发展历史过程中逐步从英语多义词中分离出来的，这类词汇需要一定语境或上下文才能确定词义。

2、古英语和中世纪英语词汇 法律英语词汇的另一个特征是经常使用曾经常用、但现在已经很少使用的古代英语和中世纪英语的词语。古词ye是you 的复数“你们”，在普通英语中已经不再使用了，但在法庭开庭时仍沿用here ye “静听”（宣读、审判）或用古词oyez “静听”。这里的here ye 实际相当于现代英语中的listen up！古词sayeth等于现代英语中的say ，在普通英语中早已不用了，但在法庭上仍然常用。法律文本中使用古英语和中世纪英语词语，有助于形成严肃、庄重、正式、紧凑的文体风格。试看一下一段合约： Provided further that this policy shall be subject to the Conditions herein contained and to any Memoranda endorsed hereon and such Conditions and part of the Policy and the observance and performance by the Insured of the times and terms therein contained so far as they relate to anything to be done by the Insured are of the essence of this contract and shall be

法律英语词汇的三大来源.doc

法律英语词汇的三大来源 法律英语词汇的三大来源 说起法律英语词汇来源，从古到今，英语的词汇经历了很大的变化。但是法律英语词汇却好像独竖一帜，仍然保留着很多古英语和外来语的词汇。这可能是因为法律总是反映统治阶级意志的工具，其所追求的目标总是准确而正式地规定权利和义务。所以作为正式的法律英语并没有随着法律文件的内容改变而发生显著的变化。 第一、来源于拉丁语拉丁语在英语的发展和演变过程中一直占有特殊的地位，不管是古英语时期，还是中古英语时期，拉丁语都是法律英语中的重要部分。学习英语的人都应对拉丁语有所了解，更不用说法律工作者。否则大量的拉丁语词汇将会使阅读和理解法律文献举步维艰。如：ad damunm（就损害而言），amicus curiae（法官的顾问），corpus delicti（犯罪事实），de bonis non（已故遗产管理人的后继人），lex fori （法院地位）等。拉丁语的使用，维持着法律英语的正式特点。 第二、来源于古英语和中古英语古英语及中古英语的词汇，如：hereabout，hereafter，heretofore，herewith，thereabout，thereby，therein，thereunder，thereupon等。这些陈旧和过时

的词汇之所有能在法律英语中存在下去，是因为法律总是反映统治阶级的意志，是维护其统治的工具。所以法律语言总是力求准确和正式，以达到维护统治阶级的意愿和威严的目的。陈旧的古语词恰到好处的完成了这样的任务。 第三、来源于法语法语对英语的发展有着重大的影响，而其对法律英语的影响则更大。这与诺曼人征服并统治英格兰的历史有关。在诺曼人对英格兰的统治期间，法语被频繁地在各种正式场合使用，使用法语也就成为上层社会的趋势。所以，当法律英语要成为正式程度最高的文体之一时，大量法语词汇当然会在其中出现。法律英语中经常出现的法语词汇不胜枚举，如：appeal，arson，claim，contract，covenant，felony，infant，pledge，plaintiff，robbery，purchase，treason等。

法律英语中的拉丁单词

ab initio （自始，例：void ab initio 自始无效）from the beginning ad hoc （特别；特定；为某一目的特设，例：ah hoc committee 特设委员会；临时委员会；专门委员会）for this purpose ad litem （专为某一诉讼目的；例：agent ad litem诉讼代理人）for the lawsuit a fortiori（更加，更不必说）according to Webster: "with greater reason or more convincing force -- used in drawing a conclusion that is inferred to be even more certain than another." Example: If it is a violation of the sending state's rights to arrest its consular official, then a fortiori it would be a violation to arrest its ambassador. a posteriori（经验的；归纳的；后验的）from effect to cause; from particular to general; inductive (based on observation or experience). a priori（先验的；演绎的）from cause to effect; from generalization to particular; deductive; presupposed by or reasoning from self-evident propositions (based on theory rather than practice). amicus curiae（法庭之友）"friend of the court"; a person with a strong interest in or views on the subject matter of a given legal action may petition the court for permission to file a brief, ostensibly on behalf of a party but actually to suggest a rationale consistent with its own views. Such amicus curiae briefs are commonly filed in appeals concerning matters of a broad public interest. Example: NPC of Iran v. M/T Stolt Sheaf case contra legem（违反法律）"against the law" (term used to describe an equitable decision of a court or tribunal that is contrary to the law governing the controversy. Such a decision would not normally be permitted unless the tribunal had been empowered to act ex aequo et bono). As opposed to intra legem. de facto（事实；事实上）in fact (as opposed to in law, de jure) de lege ferenda（根据拟议法）what the law ought to be (as opposed to what the law is, lex lata). de lege lata（根据现行法）what the law is (as opposed to what the law ought to be, de lege ferenda). de jure（法理上；法律上）in law (as opposed to in fact, de facto). dolus specialis （特殊目的）special intent. In international humanitarian law, genocide is considered unique because of the special intent to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. erga omnes（对所有国家；普遍适用；对国际社会整体。例：obligation erga omnes 对国际社会整体的义务；对世义务）"toward all" wrongful acts that harm everyone and not simply one injured party)

法律英语词汇特点

第五章 法律英语词汇的特点 5.1引言 由于历史的原因，英语本身就是一种多变化、多来源的灵活语 言。在历史上,它从多个地缘相近的民族语言中吸取了大量的词 汇要素。法律英语受这方面的影响尤深。在法律翻译作业 中，法律英文在很大程度上与受过教育的普通人的英文是不同的。 所谓的法律术语、行话、古旧用词外来词，同义/近义词，不但给普 通人、也给法律翻泽人员带来很大的理解上的困难。 法律英文词汇学上的特点可主要归纳为以下十类。 5.2 经常使用的普通词并无普通词的意义 有些词汇对律师或从事法律工作者与对普通读者具有截然不 同的含义,我们称之为具普通词形态而无普通词意义的法律词汇。 例1 He was awarded $ 500 damages for the injury he suffered in the accident . 在这个例句中award和damage是法律上的用法。对于普通 读者,award通常是给予某人的“奖励",damage是造成的“损坏”。 但对于律师而言，这两者，尤其是复数形式的damages,均属法律 语域的专业词，前者为“法庭裁定”,后者为其所裁定的“赔偿金”。 因此，该句应译为:“他因事故而得到500美元赔偿金。”这类需要 一-定语境或上下文才能确定词义的词汇，通常都是普通英语词汇 中的多义词。又如issue这既是-个普通词，又是法律术语。其 法律上的概念主要通过语境来确定。

如何辨别这些具有特殊法律意义的普通词汇?当然，这并非 一件易事,需要定的专门篇幅加以阐述。但除了上述的“语境分析”以外，可作为补允的原则还有两条:1)熟悉所涉及的普通型词汇的专门意义;以及2)逻辑推理。 5.3频繁使用当代普通英语极少使用的古旧词汇 当今普通英语的词汇主要来自古代及中世纪时期的英语，但 今日大部分的英语词汇的意义与一千多年前、甚至几百年前已经大不相同，用法也大不一样。但是，在如今的法律英语中，许多这类词汇的意义及其用法仍然-如既往、千年不变。试看以下一段 合约: 例3 Provided further that this Policy shall be subject to the Conditions herein contained and to any Memoranda endorsed hereon and such Conditions and Memoranda are to be taken

法律英语基础词汇

合同翻译时，尤其是翻译商务合同时，常常由于选词不当而寻致词不达意或者意思模棱两可，有时甚至表达的是完全不同的含义。因此了解与掌握极易混淆的词语的区别是极为重要的，是提高合同翻译质量的关键因素之一，现把常用且易混淆的七对词语，用典型实例论述如下。 一、abide by 与 comply with abide by 与 comply with 都有“遵守”的意思．但是当主语是“人”时，英译“遵守”须用 abide by。当主语是非人称时，则用 comply with 英译“遵守”。 例： Both parties Shall abide by the contractual stipulations. 双方都应遵守合同规定。 All the activities of both parties shall comply with the contractual stipulations. 双方的一切活动都应遵守合同规定 二、shipping advice 与 shipping instructions shipping advice 是“装运通知”，是由出口商（卖主）发给进口商（买主）的。然而 shipping instructions 则是“装运须知”，是进口商（买主）发给出口商（卖主）的。另外要注意区分delivery note (送货回执) 与delivery order （交货单），vendor（卖主）与 vendee（买主），consignor（发货人）与 consignee （收货人）。上述这四对词语在英译时、极易发生笔误。 三、change A to B 与 change A into B “把 A 改为 B”应该翻译成“change A to B”，而“把 A 折合成/兑换成 B”应该翻译成用“change A into B”，两者不可混淆。 例： 交货期改为 5 月并将人民币折合成美元。 Both parties agree that change the time of shipment to June and change Renminbi into US dollar. 四、ex/per/by 源自拉丁语的介词 ex 与 per 有各自不同的含义。翻译由某轮船“运来”的货物时用 ex，由某轮船“运走”的货物用 Per，而由某轮船“承运”用 by。

专业法律英语词汇——整理版

A Ab initio Ab initio是拉丁文，其意思是“自开始之时”或“从头开始”，可以直接翻译为“自始”。在法律英语中，ab initio的使用频率较高，比较常见。如：ab initio mundi（有史以来），void ad initio（自始无效）等。 Accord accord在普通英语中的含义是符合，一致，在法律英语中则表示和解或和解协议，指指债务人和一个债权人达成的、以偿还部分债务免除全部债务责任的协议。如reach an accord达成和解协议，accord and satisfaction和解与清偿等。 Accused 被告 Accused通常指刑事案件的被告，民事诉讼的被告称为Defendant；而申索案件中的被索偿的一方称为Respondent（答辩人）。 acquire acquire在普通英语中的含义是获得，获取，而且通常指通过后天的努力获得。在法律英语中通常指对公司的购买，收购，我们通常所说的M&A，即是acquire 的名词acquisition和merger的缩写。如The foreign investor has acquired more than 10 PRC domestic enterprises engaging in related industries within a year. 外国投资者一年内并购中国境内关联行业的企业超过10个。 Act act在普通英语中的含义是行动，行为，在法律英语中通常理解为作为，与不作为forbear相对应。如：Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, the Minister may, on the recommendation of the Commission, direct the Commission to act or forbear from。 Action act在普通英语中的含义是行动，在法律英语中则理解为诉讼，相当于suit或lawsuit，如initiate an action提起诉讼，win an action在诉讼中获胜，defend oneself in an action在诉讼中为自己辩护等。 Adjourn 休庭，押后法庭在聆讯途中暂时休庭30分钟，称为“adjourned for 30 minutes”。如要将聆讯押后再排期重审，称为“adjourned to a date to be fixed”。

Such a judgment is rendered "beside" or "against the law" (praeter legem or contra legem), not within the law (infra legem or intra legem). Example: Article 38(2) of the I.C.J.

拉丁语在法律英语中使用的合理性分析及建议

拉丁语在法律英语中使用的合理性分析及建议 尽管拉丁语在法学法律语言中有其自身的价值，但是也产生了一些问题。在文章的最后一部分，作者对拉丁语在法律语言中的使用提出了一些批判性的意见，希望能够全面而客观的理解和评价此现象。 全球政治经济的交流迫切需要大量懂外语又懂法律的人才。而学习英美法律，一个难以逾越的障碍就是拉丁语的大量使用。众所周知，拉丁语是英语重要的语源之一。但是随着英语的不断进化，大部分拉丁语已从日常交际用语中被排除或者被同化成更具有英语特点的表达。在过去的一个世纪里，西方律师界已经逐渐把拉丁语排除在日常法律用语之外。但是，大量拉丁语仍然会出现在成文法以及法庭用语中。例如，在《英格兰刑法典》中，18%的词或短语直接用拉丁语写成。当中有一些拉丁语已经被大众熟识，而更多的词汇却生涩难懂。比如以下这些： · Bone fide："genuine" or "the real thing". · mensrea：this means "the criminal mind，" or criminal intent. It' s one of the basic criteria for criminal guilt，along with actusreus，or "the criminal deed." · inpari delicto：this concept，roughly meaning "in equal fault，" refers to parties that are equally culpable or criminal. 再如，在1999年英国最高法院公布的一份判决书中，拉丁语依旧高频率的出现。 AB INITIO it should be said that there is a good prima facie case for the decision of Lord Irvine，theLord High Chancellor，to simplify the language used in court as part of the civil law reforms which bear the imprimatur of the master of rolls，Lord Woolf. From April 36 Lord Irvine wants lawyers，pro bono publico，to be much more straightforward in the way they speakpendente lite. Out will go，inter alia，hearing in camera or ex parte. In will come hearing in private or without notice.Plaintiff will be replaced by claimants. Newspaper editors will no longer live in terror of writs. Instead they will tremble at claim forms. Mr. Anton Pillar will soon be forgotten except in cobwebbed old tomes. The eponymous legal terms will be succeeded，ad infinitum and sine die by a plain old search order. 在145字的判决书中，拉丁语短语就出现了11次，导致判决书拗口难懂。很明显，我们可以看出尽管拉丁语削弱了文本本身的可读性，但是依旧被大量使用。 一、拉丁语在英美法律中使用的合理性分析 拉丁语之所以大量出现在法律语言中，首先，不得不说的是文化渊源。罗马在公元43年攻占了大不列颠，将其语言、文化、法律带上了这个岛国。据相关统计，约70%的英语词汇是由拉丁语演变而来。拉丁语的词缀，词根以及拉丁词语进入了英语当中，因此形成了现
