滥用 “shall”
1. 如乙方有违反本合同的行为，…… 译一：If Party B shall commit any material breach of this Contract, … 译二： If Party B commits any breach of this contract, …
Infant：在法律上是指21岁或18岁以下的人 Demise：在日常英语中有许多意思，如死亡、终止、失败、
职位的丧失等 在法律上，它专指财产的转让，或称让渡，或遗赠， 如指死亡亦是专指引起财产或权力转让的死亡
每一个法律术语只能表达一个特定的 法律概念。法律术语的词义必须单一而固 定。任何人在任何情况下必须对其有同一 的解释。不仅法律专门术语要求词义单一， 由民族共同语转化而来的法律词汇也必须 表达单一的法律概念。有些民族共同语属 于多义词，但是其中一个义项在法律语境 中有特定的法律含义，这种法律词汇也被 称为人工法律术语。例如“ assignment” 在 法律语境下表示“权利或财产的转让”， 而不表示在日常用语中的“任务”的含义， “ deed” 不是日常所说的“行为”而是指法 律中的“契约”。
• shall的使用
在法律文体中，shall具有特殊含义，表示 “应当承担的责任和义务”, 带有指令性和强制性， 充分体现了法律文件的权威性和约束性。可以 用于各种时态。Should在法律问题中，不表示 法律义务，只表示一般义务或道义上的义务， 一般译为应该或应当，

法律英语专业翻译讲解
专业英语部分Put the following paragraphs into Chinese:1、Case law is built up out of precedents, a nd a precedent is a previousdecision of a court which may, in certain circumstances, be binding on another courtin deciding a similar case. This practice of following previous decisions is derivedfrom custom, but it is a practice which is generally observed. Even in early times theitinerant judges adopted the doctrine of stare decisis, and this doctrine has beendeveloped in modern times so that it means that a precedent binds, and must befollowed in similar cases, subject to the powers to distinguish cases in certain circumstances.所谓判例法，是基于法院判决而形成的具有法律效力的判定，这种判定在某些情况下对以后的同类案件具有约束力，能够作为法院判案的法律依据。
这种先例中的做法一般来源于习惯，同时也是通常情况下会采用的做法。
即使在早期那些巡回法官也采用“遵循先例”的法律原则，如今，该法律原则也经过了一定的发展演变，即在某些情况下，经过权力机关对案件进行甄别后，经认定先例适合于现有案件，则先例具有约束力，必须适用先例。
