法律英语翻译技巧(二)法学语言与法学语言翻译例1:The law holds that the individual is responsible for his acts. The law also indicates what is good and right, and what may and should be done. It also indicates what is evil and wrong, and should not and may not be done. The law further holds that what is evil and wrong is a crime and may not be done, and if done, renders the doer liable to punishment. The law also recognizes the principle that man has free will and that, with certain exceptions, he exercises free will in commission of any crime that he may commit.译文1:法律认为公民应对自己的行为负责。
法律还规定什么是美好的和正确的,规范了哪些事是允许做或应该做的。
同样,法律规范了什么是邪恶的和错误的。
法律还进一步明确规定哪些邪恶的错误的事是不能做的犯罪行为看,如果某人做了这样的事,那么该行为就要受到惩罚。
同样,法律还承认这样一个原则,每个公民除犯罪自由外都具有自由意志,如果某人在各种违法活动中实施其自由意志,那么他就可能触犯法律。
译文2:法律规定人人应对自己的行为承担责任,分清善良和正义,规范了人们的行为准则;法律还认为,作孽枉法即是犯罪,法不可恕,谁要以身试法,必将受到严惩。
法律所主张的原则是:人人享有自由意志的权利;同时也认为,除特殊情况外,人们的自由往往表现在因泛滥自由意志而受到惩罚的行为上。

Legal English (revised version for the students)Ch.1 The Main Features of Legal English一、法律英语的英译:David Mellinkoff(加州大学洛杉矶分校法学院教授):《The Language of the Law》19631.legal English---Lawful EnglishLegal parlance(说法、用语)/legal lingo(行话、隐语)/legal jargon(行话、黑话)/legalese( 法律八股文)/language of jurisprudence(法理语言)2. the English Language of the Law or shortened as “the language of the law”3. 法律英语与法学英语二、法律英语的范围:是否凡是涉及法律的英语(词汇、表达方法、句子结构……)都是法律英语?英美法学界所公认的法律英语主要是指普通法国家(common-law countries)的法律人所用的习惯语言(customary language),包括某些词汇、短语,或具有特色的一些表达方法(mode of expressions)。
三、法律英语的主要特点:I. precise or exact (准确)正常情况下,起草法律文件时,用词造句务必十分精准(with great exactness),因为一旦笔者的思想、观点、企图落实成文字,即成为法庭判断是非的重要依据,因为按严格解释原则(principle of strict construction)或唯名论原则(principle of nominalism),尽管实践中还存在推测意图原则(principle of presumed intent),但其不占主导地位,书面文字仍然是法官解释法律文件的唯一依据。

法律英语翻译练习与答案完整版
法律英语翻译练习与答案HUA system office room 【HUA16H-TTMS2A-HUAS8Q8-HUAH1688】练习1:外国合营者如果有意以落后的技术和设备进行欺骗,造成损失的,应赔偿损失。
If the foreign joint venturer causes any losses by deception through the intentional use of backward technology and equipment, it shall pay c o m p e n s a t i o n f o r t h e l o s s e s.修改提示:单复数考虑不周;用语不够简洁。
答案(修改要点):causes any losses →causes any loss(es) 造成一项或多项损失时都应当赔偿,不能仅用复数形式。
pay compensation for the losses →pay compensation therefor(therefor=for that/them)练习2:人民法院、人民检察院和公安机关办理刑事案件,应当分工负责,互相配合,互相制约,以保证准确有效地执行法律。
原译文:The people’s courts, people’s procuratorates and public security organs shall, in handling criminal cases, divide their functions, each taking responsibility for its own work, and they shall co-ordinate their efforts and check each other to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law.修改提示:“分工负责”,应理解为:侧重点在“负责”,而非“分工”,即分工过程中各负其责;respective 比own 更为妥当、准确;原来的译文中,and theyshall …比较啰嗦,更严重的问题是,使to ensure …割断了与divide their functions 的联系。

高教指定教材《法律英语》译文
高教指定教材《法律英语》译文第一部分特点与特点美国既是一个专门新的国家也是一个专门老的国家。
与许多别的国家相比它是一个新的国家。
同时,它还因新人口成分和新州的加入而连续更新,在此意义上,它也是新国家。
然而在其它的意义上它是老国家。
它是最老的“新”国家——第一个由旧大陆殖民地脱胎而出的国家。
它拥有最古老的成文宪法、最古老的连续的联邦体制以及最古老的民族自治实践。
美国的年轻(性)有一个专门有意思的特点确实是它的历史肇始于印刷机发明之后。
因此它的整个历史都得以记录下来:确实能够专门有把握地说,任何其它国家都没有像美国如此全面的历史记录,因为像在意大利、法国或者英国过去的传奇中湮没的那样的事件在美国都成了有文字记载的历史之一部分。
而且其记录不仅全面,还专门浩繁。
不仅包括那个国家自1776年以来的殖民时期的记录,还有当前五十个州以及各州和联邦(nation)之间错综复杂的关系网络的历史记录。
因此,据一个专门简单的例子,美国最高法院判例汇编有大约350卷,而一些州的判例汇编也几乎有同样多的卷数:想研究美国法律史的读者要面对的是超过5000巨卷的司法案例。
我们不能说一个文件或几个文件就能揭示出一国人民或其政府的特性。
但假如横跨一百多年的千百万个文件敲出始终如一的音调,我们就有理由说这确实是其主调。
当千百万个文件都以同样的方式去解决同样的中心问题,我们就有理由从中得出能够被称为国民特定的确定结论。
第二部分一般法和衡平法同英国一样,美国法律制度从方法论上来说要紧是一种判例法制度。
许多私法领域仍旧要紧是由判例法构成,广泛而不断增长的制定法一直受制于有约束力的(说明制定法的)判例法。
因此,判例法方法的知识以及使用判例法的技巧关于明白得美国法律和法律方法是极其重要的。
从历史的角度来看,一般法确实是由英国皇家法院的巡回法官的判决所得出的一般的一样法——优于地点法。
采纳或执行某项诉讼要求是以存在法院令状这种专门形式的诉为前提的,而这就使最初的一般法表现为由类似于古罗马法的“诉”所构成的体系。

法律英语典型句型的翻译
1. 引言
改革开放以后,尤其是中国加入世贸组织 后,法律翻译成为热点。 一方面是为了让世界了解中国的法律制度 和具体法律法规,需要将大量的中国的法 律文本译成外文。 另一方面,为了学习借鉴国外的先进法制 建设成果,需要将大量的国外的法律法规 法学著作等译成外文。
例 10 Where a defendant is fined and the same is not forthwith paid, the magistrate may order the defendant to be searched.
凡被告人被判处罚款﹐但没有随即缴付 罚款﹐裁判官可命令搜查被告人。

法律英语翻译:法律翻译常用词汇注释(A-C)翻译法律文件时,有些专用词不知道怎么翻,或者不确定最准确、最专业的译法是什么,确实让人苦恼。
这里有法律翻译中常见词的中文注释,按字母排序,方便查找。
AAb initioAb 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。
Accordaccord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)。
Acquireacquire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。
Acquittal罪名不成立。
刑事案件经审讯后,被告罪名不成立被释放,称为“The accused is acquitted”。
Acquittal是名词。
详见民法中和刑法中表达不同意思的“acquit”一文。
Actact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。
Actionact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”。
Admissionadmission是admit的名词,在普通英语中的含义是承认或接纳。
在法律英语中,则通常是法律程序中的一个用语,意思是采纳,采信(证据),如The defendant challenged the admission of the evidence by the court on the ground that the evidence was irrelevant.被告以证据没有相关性为由反对法院对其予以采信。
Adoptadopt的最常见含义是采用,通过,如adopt a law通过一项法律,adopt a proposal采纳一个建议等,这种用法在法律英语中也较为常见。
另外,adopt在法律英语中可能会用到一个含义是收养,如adopt an orphan according to law根据法律规定收养孤儿。
Affectaffect是普通英语中最常见最普通的单词之一,意思是影响,通常用在口语和非正式的场合中。
但在法律英语,affect(本义没有改变,仍然是影响),确实非常正式的用法,通常不能用influence等单词替换。
如The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same.任何一方在任何时候未要求另一方履行本协议任一条款,并在不影响其以后强制执行该条款的权利。
Affidavit誓章以宗教仪式发誓后签署的书面证供称为Affidavit,而以真诚发誓所签署的证供称为Affirmation,两者的格式用词有些分别,但主要作用相同。
Affiliateaffiliate是法律英语的常见单词之一,意思是关联方,关联公司,也可以associate或connected person表示。
如“Affiliate” means any person or company that directly or indirectly controls a Party or is directly or indirectly controlled by a Party,including a Party’s parent or subsidiary, or is under direct or indirect common control with such Par ty.“关联公司”指直接或间接控制一方(包括其母公司或子公司)或受一方直接或间接控制,或与该方共同受直接或间接控制的任何人或公司。
Agentagent也是法律英语中常见单词之一,意思是代理人,代理商,通常指商业代理,如果指非商业性质的代理,如替别人出席会议等,则可用proxy。
