法律术语中的同义词和多义词及其在双语和双语翻译中的应用本文着重研究英语国家法律语言中的同义词和多义词。引言部分简要概述了法律翻译的过程，并阐述了两法翻译的特殊性。然后，回顾了对术语的传统理解及其在法律术语中的应用；概述了法律文本中使用的三种不同层次的词汇，并解释了它们与双法翻译的相关性。其次，从内涵和分布两个方面分析了法律语言中的同义词，并举例说明，在法律翻译中，一般语言中大多数可互换的同义词或短语都应谨慎对待。最后，讨论了法律术语中的多义词，并举例说明了译者可能会遇到的问题。
Synonymy and Polysemy in Legal Terminology and Their Applications to Bilingual and Bijural Translation The paper focuses on synonymy and polysemy in the language of law in English-speaking countries. The introductory part briefly outlines the process of legal translation and tackle the specificity of bijural translation. Then, traditional understanding of what a term is and its application to legal terminology is considered; three different levels of vocabulary used in legal texts are outlined and their relevance to bijural translation explained. Next, synonyms in the language of law are considered with respect to their intension and distribution, and examples are given to show that most expressions or phrases which are interchangeable synonyms in the general language should be treated carefully in legal translation. Finally, polysemes in legal terminology are discussed and examples given to illustrate problems potentially encountered by translators.
