公司之间做生意时不可避免地会遇到一些法律问题,尤其在与海外的公司做生意时还需要用英语进行交涉。在本篇文章中,安格英语老师将以法律为话题,通过模拟商务场景教大家如何用英语讨论法律问题。
a: i can’t believe it! hancock marketing’s lawyer just served us with *****s.
they are suing us for breach of contract on the anderson account.
b: did you get it to our legal counsel, mr. d**is? he knows about this, right?
a: yes, as soon as i got notice, i contacted him right away. he is supposed to be coming in to the office now.
b: when is the hearing scheduled?
a: in two weeks’ time. i hope that mr. d**is has time to make a good defense.
b: perhaps it won’t even make it to trail. if we’re lucky, the judge will dismiss the case in the preliminary hearing.
that would s**e us a fortune in legal fees.
a: if it does go to trail, i’m afraid the prosecution will h**e a heyday mucking our company through the press. there could be a lot at stake.
where is mr. d**is?
b: i’m sure he’s on his way… maybe he’s rounding up some witness for us now.
在上面的对话中,我们可以学习到一些与法律有关的表达:我们经常说的起诉在英语中可以用sue来表达,而我们小学时就学会的hear加上ing后则可以翻译为听证会(hearing)。除此之外,还有legal counsel(法律顾问)、breach of contract(违反合同)、make a defense(辩护)、dismiss the case(驳回案子),如果案子在预备听证会上被驳回的话,那么公司就可以s**e a fortune(节省一大笔钱)啦!
