Although attorneys still do not pay very well in China, someone with a law degree and a good command of English, French and Italian must be in high demand. Forget about translation business, and look for a position in a multinational corporation instead! At least you can get a good position in an export oriented big company.

德文和阿拉伯文不懂，楼上翻译的英文仍然很糟糕

再推荐一本法律英语教材：刑法（Criminal Law），麦克米伦法学精要丛书·影印版，法律出版社。

诸位看完再翻译不迟。

提醒诸位，法律翻译注重的是专业术语和风格的准确性和正确性，最忌生搬硬套，法律英语中是没有“防卫制度”这个说法的，Defense system指的是国防系统，比如导弹防御系统，星球大战之类。

对应的“防卫制度”可以译为defences，即defence的复数。

我从上述《刑法》一书有关正当防卫的章节中摘录几句，供大家参考：

There are four main requirements that need to be proved if either defence is to be available:

-The defendant must respond to an unjustified threat to the defendant or her property or someone else

-The force used by the defendant was necessary to avoid the threat

-The force used by the defendant was proportionate

-The defendant acted in order to defend herself or someone else and not for some other reason.

Consideration is a central concept in the common law of contracts. Under classical contract theory, consideration is required for a contract to be enforceable.

Anything of value given by one party to induce another to enter into a contract. It may be money, personal services or even "love and affection."

A legal right or promise exchanged for the act, promise, or property of another person. For example, in a contract for the purchase of a piece of property, the property itself and the money paid (or promised to be paid) are the considerations made by the property seller and the new property owner, respectively.

The required element in all contracts by which a legal right or promise is exchanged for the act or promise of another person.

One of the elements that make up an insurance contract, consideration is the offer made by the insurance company to the insured for payment of the premium and the statements made by the prospective policyholder on their application.

Anything of value given to induce another to enter into a contract. Earnest money deposit on a sales contract is consideration.

The price or subject matter, which induces a contract; may be in money, commodity, exchange, or a transfer of personal effort.

The value, asset, service, information etc. which is offered to another party in a contract in exchange for that party's agreeing to enter the contract. A contract is not binding if each party does not offer at least some consideration to the other party(ies).

The 'price' in a contract for the other party's promise. The 'price' may be a promise or an act (eg promise of payment). A party can only sue on a promise if he has given consideration (something) in return for the promise.

Consideration is anything of value that changes hands between the two parties of contract. Although we usually think of consideration as an exchange of money and goods (or services), consideration may take other forms as well. For example, the waiver of a legal right has been found to be adequate consideration.

Something of value given by a promisee to a promisor to make the promise binding.

A legal right or promise exchanged for the act, promise, or property of another person. For example, in a contract for the purchase of a piece of property, the property itself and the money paid (or promised to be paid) are the considerations made by the property seller and the new property owner, respectively.

I can see message 24 indeed used very authentic English legal vocabulary (other than the keywords). It also spelt "defense" correctly! There are quite a few grammatical problems, and numerous careless mistakes. Also, keywords must be nouns, not verbs or adjectives. Typically, the publisher or the professional organization maintains a list of acceptable keywords. On the other hand, this appears to be submitted to a Chinese journal that requires an English abstract, and they are probably not too picky about keywords. Anyway, a little bit of additional work can turn this piece into a good translation.
