Security agreement汉译探析

On the Chinese Translation of “Security Agreement”

security agreement通常译为"担保协议",内容囊括动产担保与不动产担保。但在美国的法律文本中,security agreement的含义范围与中国法律中的"担保合同"并不对等。文章围绕security agreement在美国法律中的不同含义讨论其中文译名。

Security agreement is often translated as"danbao xieyi",which includes secured transaction on both personal property and real estate. But in Uniform Commercial Code,security agreement is applied to a smaller scope than that of"danbao xieyi"in Chinese law. This paper endeavors to discuss how to appropriately translate "security agreement"into Chinese via detailed analyses on its meaning in different backgrounds.
