composition

释义:composition在普通英语中的常见意思为作文,结构,在法律英语中的意思为和解协议,指指债务人与全部或至少相当一部分债权人达成的此类协议。如In case a settlement agreement is reached through conciliation between the debtor and creditors, the court shall make a decision in accordance with the contents of the composition reached by and between both the parties.经债务人和债权人经调解达成和解协议的案件,法院应当根据双方当事人和解协议的内容,作出判决。

concession

释义:concession指(政府授予的)特许权,特许经营权,如BOT project concession period consists two parts: concession period limit and concession period length. BOT项目特许权转让协议中有关特许期的约定涉及两部分内容,包括特许期限定和特许期长度。

confidential

释义:confidential是法律英语中的常用词汇,意思是保密的,机密的,相当于secret,但一般不能用secret替换。如Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information at all times and in the same manner as each protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential materials.各方同意,在任何时候都以保护自身专有资料和机密资料相同的方式保护另一方的机密信息。

consideration

释义:consideration在法律英语中的含义是对价,即为换取另一个人做某事的允诺,某人付出的不一定是金钱的代价。如Party A agrees to pay RMB 5000yuan in consideration for the service rendered by Party B.甲方同意支付5000元人民币作为乙方提供服务的对价。

consolidation

释义:consolidation也是法律英语中的一个重要词组,意思是合并,兼并,即若各干企业合并成一个新企业,原企业解散,亦即新设合并,如Neither Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s prior written consent, expect to any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving the assigning Party.任何一方未经另一方事先书面同意,不得转让本协议的全部或部分,除非转让给涉及转让方的因兼并、合并或其他重组而产生的任何公司。

construe

释义:construe是法律英语中的重要单词,意思是解释,即对法律、合同等法律文件的内容作出解释,与interpret意思相同。如A waiver by one of the parties at any time of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement committed by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver by such party of any subsequent breach to be committed by the other party.一方在任何时候放弃追究另一方违反本协议任何条款或规定的行为,不应被视为该一方放弃追究另一方以后的违约行为。

construction

释义:construction在普通英语中的最常见含义是“建设,构建”,“construction of the

country”(国家建设)。在法律英语中,construction也有一个常见含义,即“解释”通常指对法律、条例、判决或其他法律规范的含义和适用所作的说明,相当于interpretation。如construction of the contract in accordance with the law(根据法律规定解释合同),strict construction of the law(对法律的严格解释)等。我们在使用时要注意区分,不能看到construction就当做“建设”理解。

contribution

释义:contribution是公司法中常用的一个单词,意思是出资,不同于其在普通英语中的意思(贡献、投稿、捐赠),如When a Party (the “Disposing Party”) wishes to transfer all or part of its registered capital contribution to a third party, it shall provide a written notice (the “Notice”) to the other Party (the “Non-Disposing Party”).一方(“转让方”)欲将其全部或部分注册资本出资额转让给第三方时,应向另一方(“非转让方”)提供书面通知(“通知”)。

creation

释义:creation有两个意思,一个创造,通常出现在有关知识产权的法律中,如invention and creation发明创造。另一个意思是创设,通常指权利的设定,如The effect of all this is that, on the creation and sale of the Bankers’ Acceptance, the Borrower receives a sum of money and, on the later maturity date, the Borrower pays back a slightly higher sum of money. 全部这种做法的效果在于,在设立和售出银行承兑时,借方收到一笔钱款,而在以后的到期日,借方付还一笔略高的钱款。

customs

释义:很多人望文生义,看到这个单词,直接把它理解成为“风俗,惯例”,而忽略了其形式是复数。Custom在法律英语中有“惯例、惯例法”的意思,如custom and usage(惯例、习惯法)。但Customs用作复数时,在法律英语中指海关,如customs declaration(报关),customs duty (关税,有时候也可以直接用customs表示关税),customs officer(海关官员等)

damages

释义:damages在法律英语中表示损害赔偿金,要注意用的是复数形式,如果用单数,则表示损害。如incidental damages 附带损害consequential damages 间接损害claim damages for the breach of contract.因违约要损害赔偿金等。
