英语翻译应注意词语搭配
英语翻译应注意词语搭配

[背景]由于英汉两种语言有着不同的表达习惯,我们在翻译一些常见的短语(联合式)时,要注意一个搭配的顺序问题。例如英语的track and field,track是“跑道,径赛”,“field”是“场地,田赛”,而汉语的习惯表达与之相反,通说为“田径”。

几个法律术语的翻译

几个法律术语的翻译 挑选法院“Forum shopping”是英美法上的一个术语,系指利用国际民事管辖权的积极 冲突,从众多有管辖权的法院中选择一个最能满足自己诉讼请求的法院去起诉的行为。对于“Forum shopping”,我国学者中有“挑选法院”、“选购法院”、“择地行诉”和“竞择法院”等不同译法。对其具体含义,我国学者的普遍理解是“当事人选择于己有利的法院起诉,从而使对方蒙受不利”。当事人在不同国家(法域)提起诉讼,由于各国(法域)政治、文化、经济、法律传统方面的差异,冲突规范存在差别,其指引的实体法会有所不同,各国(法域)法院对于同一涉外民商事案件,就可能会作出不同的判决,因此,当事人为维护自己的利益,总是希望选择一个对自己最为有利的法院进行诉讼,当事人这种选择法院的行为与在集市上进行商品买卖时挑选物品极为相似,故称之为“挑选法院”更为恰当。 1.contract,现在多译为"合同",我以为不分场合、不分情况一律译为"合同"是不妥的。因为我们中国人看见"合同"一词就想到一个书面的、写成一条一条的文件,可是contract一词的含义范围却要广泛得多。contract不限于书面的文件,口头上也可订contract,打电话也可以订contract,甚至于不说话也能订contract,例如在报摊上付钱买份晚报或买票搭乘公共汽车。contract就是有法律约束力的协议,只有较重要的contract 才采取书面形式。所以一般的、泛指的contract应当译"契约",例如law of contract应当译"契约法",较重要的、书面的contract才译"合同",例如contract for the international sale of goods可以译"国际售货合同". 2.intellectual property,不知道当初为何译成"知识产权",以后竟然以讹传讹广泛沿用至今,而且订入法律,实在可叹!这个词组不论按字面上译、按含义译都不能译"知识产权".intellectual一词根本没有"知识"的意思,它与"知识"是两个不同的概念。作为名词intellectual指"知识分子",但是在intellectual property词组中intellectual显然是形容词而不是名词,何况"知识分子"与"知识"并不能划等号,即使退一万步对号入座地硬译,也只能译"知识分子产权"而不能译"知识产权".当然,译"知识分子产权"也是错的。从含义上看,何谓intellectual property?它是指对于智力劳动所创造的智力产品或智力成果的权利,主要包括版权、专利权、商标权等,所以应该译为"智力产权".我们的前辈严复曾说,"一名之立,旬月踟蹰",我们今天对待译名何等需要那样的认真精神啊!译名宜慎重,不要随便译,使用现有的译名也该慎重,尤其不要随便跟着别人使用、传播错误的译名,应该抵制错误的译名! 3.joint venture.这个术语译时要当心。因为按其原来的意思,是指短期的临时性的合伙,可是现在又常用来表示"合资企业、合营企业".所以翻译时要依据上下文及其他情况来判定该译"短期合伙"还是译"合营企业". 4.jurisdiction.除了管辖、管辖权、审判权、审判机构等释义外,还有一个释义,即"法域"或"法律管辖区域",意思是自有一套法律制度的区域。一个国家可能是一个法域,如法国,也可能有许多法域,如美国的50个州每个州都是一个法域。"一国两制",可以说是"一个国家、两个法域".

Part II. Translate the following passages into Chinese. Passage 1 Savings provide one way to take care of financial losses. But savings are not the answer to large losses. The best way to guard against large financial losses is through insurance. Over 4,800 companies in the United States are in the business of providing insurance protection. These businesses are called insurance companies. Because most insurance companies operate on a big scale, they provide a way for large numbers of people to share their losses. Insurance can provide protection against almost any kind of loss. Singers may insure their voices. Photographers may insure their negatives. The owner of a home freezer may insure against food loss in case of a power failure. A business owner can insure his or her place of business. A business owner can also insure against a loss of profits during a shutdown following a fire or damaging accident. Like all private firms, insurance companies must charge enough for protection to pay their operating costs and make a profit. The main factor affecting the price of insurance, however, is the amount of risk involved. The more risk an insurance company assumes for a policyholder, the higher the premium. An insurance company must collect enough money from all its policyholders to pay the claims of those who have

法律英语词汇大全

第一、按照法律的原意,理解法律英语 中国法律理论与普通法有很大不同,加之中国的法律有待更进一步完善,因此,有一部分英文的法律名词和术语,很难在中文里找到与此相对应的确切的词汇。如"unjust enrichment"可直译为“不当得利”,但其法律含义却比《民法通则》中的“不当得利”宽泛得多,不但包含了《民法通则》中的92条“不当得利”、93条“无因管理”的情况,而且还有违反信托义务(fiduciary duty)和侵犯他人知识产权所取得的利益。另外,agreement 和contract,可以翻译为“协议”和“合同”,在中国法律中,似乎没有什么区别。但是,根据普通法规定,有要约和承诺,便是一个agreement,而agreement只有在采取书面形式(deed)或有对价(consideration)支持的情况下,才能成为contract,具有法律效力。这样的例子,不胜枚举。所以,一定要按照法律的原意,理解英文。不可望文生义,生搬硬套。 第二、遵循法律的学习规律,学习法律英语 中国法律英语的学习者,难以深入的一个重要原因,就是没有按照这一规律,按部就班地学习法律,在一些基本概念和分类都没有搞清楚的情况下,就开始盲目自修。与任何学问和手艺一样,法律有其自身的由浅入深、从易到难的学习规律。英美法学院均设有核心课程(core subjects),学生必须先行完成核心课程,才可以修其他法律部类。我个人认为,“开卷有益”不适合法律英语的学习。只有当掌握了法律基础之后,才是开卷有益,否则,只能造成理解上的艰难和混乱。 第三、英语的难易与法律的难易 在澳洲留学期间,我发现关于刑法的书,读得比较通畅,语言障碍也少;而财产法却艰涩、难懂,念起来非常吃力。而本国学生就没有这样难易差距的感受。我想原因在于,西方的刑法理论,与中国相似;我在大学期间,刑法又学得很好。由于对法律本身熟悉,所以,觉得刑法英语很容易理解和掌握。相反,澳大利亚的财产法是继承英国的传统,诸如财产权的相对性、衡平法产权等等理论,在国内,从未接触过。由于对法律原则的陌生,导致阅读的吃力。所以,英语本身无难易,难易取决于法律本身。对法律原则的理解越深、越透,表述法律的英语,就越简单、易解。 第四、英语的不通源于法律的不通 在做法律翻译时,翻译过很多英文合同,经常会涉及到某某条款是"condition"或"warranty",当时就直译为“条件”或“保证”,仅知道“条件”是合同的重要条款,“保证”是非重要条款,但这又有什么区别呢?学了普通法才理解,这种区别的法律意义在于违约后的法律后果不同:违反condition,守约方有权终止合同,同时要求损害赔偿;但违反warranty,守约方虽然有权要求损害赔偿,但必须继续履行合同,否则,也是违约。
