法律英语汉译中的障碍及对策——从工具书的角度

学者云,“翻译之事,定名最难”;而古人也有教诲说,“公欲善其事,必先利其器”,故工具书中术语的准确定位事关翻译意旨的顺利实现;故针对法律英语词典的误译、涵盖面不广、未对近义词进行辨析以及大量非词汇化词条等问题,词典编辑者应尽其所能对工具书予以完善,以排除法律英语翻译时因工具书而造成的障碍。     

保险合同问题研究

目前,立法机关正在积极准备保险法(主要为保险合同部分)的修改。最高人民法院也于2003年末公布了有关保险合同的司法解释征求意见稿。基于实践的需要,本文就保险合同的几个问题作了研究。笔者认为,保险人对承诺前发生的事故应当承担责任;财产保险合同的转让普遍要求保险人“同意”的做法,不利于交易安全和保险消费者利益的维护;投保人的解除权与关系人的维持权应予以平衡,同为保险合同利益,保单现金价值的归属应与保险金的归属相一致;超额保险无效在定值保险中的意义大于不定值保险,在定值保险中,协议超额定值与赌博无异,应为无效;保险法有关防损义务与施救费用的规定,不仅不利于防损减损,而且对保险消费者有失公平。     

The Press, Public Opinion, Arms Limitation, and Government Policy in Britain, 1932-34: Some Preliminary Observations

One of the least understood issues concerning interwar Britain is the connection between public opinion and the development and implementation of foreign and defence policy. And what is true generally of these crucial elements of interwar British statecraft is doubly so for perhaps their most nettled subset: disarmament. Public opinion polling did not begin in Britain till 1937; yet in 1932-34, when Britain played a leading role in the League of Nations-sponsored World Disarmament Conference, government ministers and their civil service and armed forces advisors sought to produce policy for this conference that would balance between limiting the national armoury and protecting national and Imperial security. Their reading of public opinion was crucial; but so, too, was the reading that the opposition parties and extra-parliamentary interest groups did and the subsequent pressures that they brought to bear on the government. This article offers some preliminary observations on the efficacy of using the national press as a means both of assessing public attitudes and of connecting the public debate over disarmament policy with policymaking within the British government.     

审查起诉阶段诉讼模式的重构

依据刑事诉讼法律规范的规定,在现阶段,审查起诉阶段的诉讼模式是由检察机关对案件事实与法律适用进行审查,并作出处理决定,而辩方的权利则受到较大的限制,因而该诉讼模式不符合现代诉讼理论的要求,为此,应重新建立由审方参与,扩大辩方权利而形成的控、辩、审三方参与的诉讼模式。
