Features of Legal English

随着经济全球化的发展和中国对外开放的进一步深化,国际贸易争端日趋增多,需要诉诸法律,与此同时国家的法制建设正在不断完善之中,这就促使国内各界对法律翻译的需求日益增多,并且越来越成为一个重要的研究课题。试以《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》(CISG)的条款为例,讨论翻译法律文件的语言特点。

With the globalization of world economy, China＇s reform and opening policies to the outside world, especially Chi- na＇s entry into the WTO, the number of international trade issues is increasing, most of which have to be settled in the courts with the laws. And our legal construction has been improved quickly. So the needs for legal translation have been increasing and the study of legal translation will become an important research topic. This thesis, founded on the example of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods（CISG）, discusses the language characteristics for translat- ing legal documents.
