法律英語證書考試試題 2
一、英譯漢
1、general jurisdiction 一般管轄
2、bar examination 律師考試
3、ripeness 案件成熟度
4、substantive law 實(shí)體法
5、no contest pleas 不辯護(hù)也不認(rèn)罪的答辯
二、漢譯英
1、巡回法院circuit courts
2、模擬法庭moot court
3、案件決議度mootness
4、起訴書complaint
5、被上訴人appellee
三、翻譯短文
1、No two legal systems,then,are exactly alike、Each is specific to its country or its jurisdiction、This does not mean,of course,that every legal system is entirely different from every other legal system、Not at all、When two countries are similar in culture and tradition,their legal systems are likely to be similar as well、No doubt the law of E1Salvador is very much like the Law of Honduras、The laws of Australia and New Zealand are not that far apart、
沒有兩個(gè)法系就是恰好相似的。每一種法系對(duì)于它的國家與它的管轄范圍就是特定的。當(dāng)然,這并不意味著每一種法系就是完全不同于其它任何一種法系。當(dāng)兩個(gè)國家在文化與傳統(tǒng)上相似的時(shí)候,她們的法系也很可能相似。難怪薩爾瓦多的法律與洪都拉斯的法律異常相似。澳大利亞的法律與新西蘭的法律也不就是相差甚遠(yuǎn)。
2、In many jurisdictions in the United States,felonies are crimes punishable by death or imprisonment in a state prison or penitentiary and misdemeanors are those punishable by fine of imprisonment in a local jail、(The term jurisdiction refers to the authority of a political entity,such as a state or a county ,or the territory over which that authority is exercised、)In other jurisdictions,crimes punishable by fine or imprisonment in a local jail、(The term jurisdiction regers to the authority of a political entity,such as a state or a county,or the territory over which that authority is exercised、)In other jurisdictions,crimes punishable by imprisonment for one yeat or more are folonies,and those punishable by fine or imprisonment for less than one year are misdemeanors、Since each jurisdiction determines the penalties for offenses it defines,a misdemeanor in one jurisdiction may constitute a felony in another、Some jurisdictions have an additional classification for petty offenses,also called infractions,which are usyally punishable by a small fine、
在美國的許多地區(qū),重罪就是被處以死刑或者在州監(jiān)獄里終身監(jiān)禁的犯罪,而輕罪就是被處以罰款或者就是在當(dāng)?shù)乇O(jiān)獄監(jiān)禁的犯罪。(這個(gè)管轄術(shù)語涉及政治性實(shí)體的權(quán)威,例如一個(gè)州或者一個(gè)國家,或者一個(gè)培訓(xùn)權(quán)威的領(lǐng)地。)在其她地區(qū),被處以監(jiān)禁一年或一年以上的就是重罪,被處以罰款或監(jiān)禁少于一年的就是輕罪。因?yàn)槊總(gè)地區(qū)各自定義決定罪犯的刑罰,在一個(gè)地區(qū)的輕罪可能在別的地區(qū)就是重罪。一些地區(qū)對(duì)輕微違法有另外的分類,稱作侵害,通常被處以數(shù)量不大的罰款。
3、The system of criminal procedure in the United States is both adversarial and accusatorial、The adversatial aspects are as follows:the parties themselves develop and present the evidence before a passive and impartial decisionmaker,with the judge acting only as necessary to assure overall fairness of the contest between the sides、Accusatorial principles are not the same as adversarial principles,but they complement each other、Accusatorial principles require the “government in its contest with the individual to shoulder the entire load,”while adversarial principles require that the prosecutor,as the governmen t′s representative,present the case against the defendant、Thus,the prosecutor must bear the entire burden of proving the defendan t′s guilt on every element of the crime without the compelled assistance of the accused、The U、S、system allows for exceptions to the accusatorial principle,just as it contemplates exceptions to the asversatial principle,but it remains primarily accusatorial and adversarial、
在美國,刑事訴訟體系包括對(duì)抗式(當(dāng)事人主義)與控告式(職權(quán)主義)。當(dāng)事人主義包括以下幾個(gè)方面:當(dāng)事人自己在一個(gè)消極的公正的決策者之前收集與呈現(xiàn)證據(jù),而法官僅扮演一個(gè)能夠保證爭(zhēng)議雙方公正的必要角色。職權(quán)主義原則與當(dāng)事人原則不同,但雙方就是互補(bǔ)的。職權(quán)主義原則要求政府在個(gè)別爭(zhēng)議中承擔(dān)全部責(zé)任。然而當(dāng)事人主義原則要求政府代表的檢察官呈現(xiàn)針對(duì)被告的案件。因此,公訴人必須承擔(dān)證明被告有罪的'全部責(zé)任, 并且在每一個(gè)犯罪要素上排除被告被強(qiáng)迫的幫助。美國體系容許排除職權(quán)主義原則,正如她沉思排除當(dāng)事人主義原則,但它仍保持著主要的職權(quán)主義原則與當(dāng)時(shí)人原則。
4、Direct Examination and Cross Examination
The plaintiff′s lawyer calls her or his witness and question the witness、This is know as direct examination、When the plaintif f′s lawyer has finished,the defendan t′s lawyer may cross-examine the plaintif f′s witness 、On cross-examination ,the defendan t′s lawyer is free either to limit his questions to topics raised by the plaintif f′s lawyer or to limit his questions to topics raised by the plaintif f′s lawyer of to open a new line of questioning、When the defendant`s lawyer has finished,the plaintiff`s lawyer may redirect,or ask assitional questions of the same witness、On redirect examination,however,the plaintiff`s lawyer may ask only questions raised by the defendant`s lawyer on cross-examination;she or he may not open a new line of questioning、Upon completion of redirect,the defendant`s lawyer may recross-examination;she or he may not open a new line of questioning、Upon completion of redirect,the defendant`s lawyer may recross-examine but also is limited to questions raised on redirect、When both lawyers have asked all of their questions,the witness is excused、
原告律師可以直接要求她或者她的證人出庭與詢問證人。這就就是為人所知的直接詢問。當(dāng)原告律師完成詢問后,被告律師可交叉質(zhì)詢?cè)孀C人。在交叉質(zhì)詢中,被告律師可以把話題限制在原告律師提前的話題上,也可以開始新一輪的提問。當(dāng)被告律師結(jié)束后,原告律師可以再次直接地詢問或?qū)ν蛔C人問其她問題。在再次直接詢問中,原告律師僅可以就被告律師在交叉詢問中提出的問題進(jìn)行詢問。她(或她)不可以再次提出新問題,當(dāng)完成再次直接詢問后,被告律師可再次交叉詢問。但同時(shí)也受再次質(zhì)詢中所提問題的限制。當(dāng)雙方律師問完(證人)所以問題后,證人可退庭。
