英文法律文书写作选词、用词 相同概念，相同用词 应保证使用同一单词表述同一概念，避免使用不同的单词表述同一概念。如在叙述某一辆轿车时，不要既用“the car”，又用“the vehicle”来表述，否则会引起不必要的误解，例如： Even though the defendant commented that while in probation he had abetted two minors in petty larceny, this admission of illegality is not relevant to the present case. 本句缺陷在于“commented”与“admission”实际表述有些微差别，应将“commented”改为“admitted”。 [参考译文]即便被告承认在缓刑期间他曾教唆两名未成年人盗窃，但对该不法行为的承认与目前案件无关。 顺手牵羊叫 shoplifting, 抢劫是 robbery, 武装抢劫 armed robbery, 强奸是 rape, 偷窃的小case是 petty theft，大case是 larceny， 更大案件 grand larceny, 半夜闯空门则是 burglary.??走私毒品 drug trafficking, 重伤害 serious assault, 殴打 assault and battery, 纵火 arson. 像这些字都常在警匪片中出现 lawyer是社会对律师的泛称。 [例句]Several hundred lawyers attended last year’s ABA convention. 几百名律师参加了去年全美律师协会的会议。 二者联系Unless a contrary meaning is plainly indicated “attorney” is synonymous with lawyer or attorney at law. 另一个极为重要的律师称谓是Esquire (Esq.)，它在律师的名片和法院的文件中被广泛采用。In the United States, the title is commonly given in courtesy to lawyers and is often used in the superscription of letters instead of Mr. or Ms., for example William Clinton, Esq. .

In the U.S., where the roles of counsel and attorney were combined, the term esquire was adopted. 注：Solicitor Barrister区别 Solicitor[英事务律师]— An attorney who advises clients on legal matters, represents clients in certain lower courts, and prepares cases for barristers to present in the higher courts. Barrister[英出庭律师]—A counsel admitted to plead at the bar and undertake the public trial of causes in an English superior court. 区别一：分工不同。 Solicitors generally handle office work, whereas barristers plead cases in court.
