法律英语的翻译 法律英语的翻译 一、英语法律文本的词汇特征 二、英语法律文本的句式特征 三、英语法律文本的常用翻译方法与技巧 一、英语法律文本的词汇特征 Martin Joos按照语言使用的正式程度提出了五种变体，分别是庄重文体（the frozen style），正式文体（the formal style），商议文体（the consultative style），随便文体（the casual style），亲密文体（the intimate style）。 法律英语是各种英语文体中正式程度最高的一种，其正式性主要体现在专业性词汇和用语的使用上。 法律英语的词汇主要有以下几个特征: 二、英语法律文本的句式特征 1. 陈述句的使用 The Arbitration Commission has one honorary Chairman and several advisers. 2. 完整句的使用 法律英语中一般不使用省略句，以免造成因省略或句子缺省而出现的误解或歧义现象。 3. 长句的使用 法律学者Driedger认为：“一般来说，长句是立法起草和英语其他书面写作的一个共同特点。” 法律英语的句法特点是和法律英语的文体特征密切相连的，正式的法律条规和文本中由于对中心词的限定过多，对某一法律概念成立的条件限定很多，所以法律英语长句多，短句少。 4. 名词化结构的使用 有学者曾对20篇不同文体的英文中的名词化现象做过统计，结果显示不同文体中名词化的应用差异是相当大的：法律文体达83.5%；科技文体达72.6%；新闻文体为40.3%；而寓言童话最少，为0.7%。 法律文体的名词化程度最高，正是其追求准确、权威和信息的缘故。 练习： 1.
