【Body corporate】元照英美法词典》上解释为“法人”;于是，另寻BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY。OK，185 页的body corporate 解释是见: corporation。跟着追到了365 页的corporation，看到了下面的解释: an entity (usu. A business) having authority under law to act as a single person distinct from the shareholders who own it and having rights

to issue stock and exist indefinitely; a group or succession of persons established in accordance with legal rules

- 29 -

into a legal or juristic person that has legal personality distinct from the natural persons who make it up, exists indefinitely apart from them, and has the legal powers that its constitution gives it. ---- Also termed corporation aggregate; aggregate corporation; body corporate; corporate body. 看来，真真正正的是“法人”的意思，“法人团体”是不对的。
