英文法律文書(shū)簡(jiǎn)明教程 篇1

　　一、縮寫(xiě) Abbreviations

　　規(guī)則1、

　　在正式寫(xiě)作中，應(yīng)當(dāng)避免使用縮寫(xiě)，除非有下述規(guī)則2、規(guī)則3和規(guī)則4的情形。

　　In formal writing, one should not use abbreviations, except as indicated in rules 2, 3, and 4 below.

　　例如：

　　Incorrect: The U.S. Supreme Court held that the defendant\’s rights had been violated.

　　Correct: The United States Supreme Court held that the defendant\’s rights had been violated.

　　Incorrect: Professor Jonas mentioned several cities that have domestic-partnership ordinances, e.g., New York and San Francisco.

　　Correct: Professor Jonas mentioned several cities that have domestic-partnership ordinances, including New York and San Francisco.

　　Incorrect: The Court announced its decision in the case on Oct. 12, 1994.

　　Correct: The Court announced its decision in the case on October 12, 1994.

　　規(guī)則2、

　　如果一個(gè)縮寫(xiě)的應(yīng)用已經(jīng)非常普遍，在一般用法中已經(jīng)取代了全稱，則可以使用縮寫(xiě)；但使用此縮寫(xiě)時(shí)不應(yīng)該使用表示縮寫(xiě)的英文句號(hào)（.）。

　　When an abbreviation has become so common that it has supplanted the full name in common usage, one may use the abbreviation; however, one should do so without the use of periods.

　　例如：

　　Incorrect: The N.A.A.C.P. was the subject of a profile on C.B.S. last week.

　　Correct: The NAACP was the subject of a profile on CBS last week.

　�。ㄗⅲ� NAACP abbr.National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (美國(guó))全國(guó)有色人種協(xié)進(jìn)會(huì)，CBS abbr. （美國(guó)）哥倫比亞廣播公司(Columbia Broadcasting System)）

　　However: The defendant in the case is R.J. Reynolds Industries, Inc.

　　請(qǐng)注意，在上面的例子中，字母R和J后面的句號(hào)（.）應(yīng)當(dāng)保留，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)縮寫(xiě)所代表的含義并非廣為人知。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，這樣的縮寫(xiě)應(yīng)當(dāng)使用全稱；但是在上面的例子中不能用全稱，因?yàn)榭s寫(xiě)R.J.是公司注冊(cè)名稱中使用的。

　　Notice that in the preceding example, the points after \"R\" and \"J\" should be left in, because the meaning of the abbreviation is not sufficiently well known to most readers. Ordinarily, one would replace such an abbreviation with the full terms; however, one can not do so in this case because the legal corporate name involved includes the abbreviation.

　　規(guī)則3、

　　當(dāng)使用legal citation時(shí)，一定要按照Bluebook（見(jiàn)譯注）的要求來(lái)縮寫(xiě)。但在行文中提及法院時(shí)，不應(yīng)用縮寫(xiě)。

　　When writing legal citations, always use the abbreviations required by the Bluebook. However, when referring to a court in text, do not abbreviate. For example:

　　例如：

　　Incorrect: The Ill. Supreme Court required the return of the child to his birth mother. Smithson v. Bettaglia, 59 Illinois 2d 73, 180 Northeast Reporter 2d 754 (1994).

　　Correct: The Illinois Supreme Court required the return of the child to his birth mother. Smithson v. Bettaglia, 59 Ill. 2d 73, 180 N.E.2d 754 (1994).

　　規(guī)則4、

　　當(dāng)行文中涉及的公司在其注冊(cè)名稱中含有一個(gè)或多個(gè)縮寫(xiě)時(shí)，如 R.J. Reynolds Industries, Inc.，應(yīng)當(dāng)保留縮寫(xiě)；不要把縮寫(xiě)所代表的全稱全部拼出，除非公司的注冊(cè)名稱中已經(jīng)全部拼出，如Eon Shipping Company。這條規(guī)則適用于所有的公司名稱中，包括Co.， Corp.， Inc.和 Ltd.。

　　When referring to a corporate entity that has one or more abbreviations as part of its legal name, such as R.J. Reynolds Industries, Inc., leave the abbreviations in the name. Do not spell out the abbreviation unless the corporation itself spells it out, which some do (for example, Eon Shipping Company). This rule applies to all of the various forms of corporate designations, including Co., Corp., Inc., and Ltd.

　　例如：

　　Incorrect: McDermott International, Incorporated

　　Correct: McDermott International, Inc.

　　二、縮略符

　　當(dāng)一個(gè)學(xué)生向教授提交書(shū)面作業(yè)或向律師事務(wù)所提交書(shū)面資料時(shí)， 沒(méi)有什么比錯(cuò)誤的使用或不使用縮略符造成的負(fù)面印象更嚴(yán)重了。因此，掌握這些簡(jiǎn)單，卻常常容易混淆的規(guī)則非常重要。

　　在四種情形下使用或不使用縮略符容易引起混淆，分別是（1）復(fù)數(shù)詞（2）單數(shù)所有格（3）復(fù)數(shù)所有格和（4）it\’s和its的縮寫(xiě)形式（Contractions，see cross reference hereunder）與所有格。是否使用所有格，要先問(wèn)問(wèn)自己是否涉及領(lǐng)有關(guān)系。如果是領(lǐng)有關(guān)系，名詞或帶詞就要采取所有格。

　　規(guī)則1、Plain plural words do not require the use of an apostrophe. For example:

　　Incorrect: The lawyer\’s could generally be found after hours at the Hanover Street Bar and Grill. (The apostrophe here incorrectly indicates a singular possessive.)

　　Incorrect: The lawyers\’ could generally be found after hours at the Hanover Street Bar and Grill. (The apostrophe here incorrectly indicates a plural possessive.)

　　Correct: The lawyers could generally be found after hours at the Hanover Street Bar and Grill. (The lack of an apostrophe here correctly indicates a plural, nonpossessive term.)

　　規(guī)則2、In singular possessive terms, place the apostrophe before the \"s.\" This will indicate ownership by one person or thing. For example:

　　Incorrect: Our schools collection included an original set of Blackstone\’s Commentaries.

　　Incorrect: Our schools\’ collection included an original set of Blackstone\’s Commentaries.
