学生作业（法律翻译） 一，Question ①---------What do you think are the most distinctive features of law?（2008.3.10） Typical responses from students: 1, 李红波----I think law has its unique majesty, and it could be implemented by the country. 2, 刘静----in my opinion, people are equal in face of law, and anyone who breaks the law would be punished. 3, 王芳----I think law has great power, and it could exert its power to every corner of the society.
