词林漫步 | 美国人心里的dragon 和tofu

在我国的跨文化交际课堂上，师生经常念叨的话题是中国的“龙”和西方的dragon之间存在的差异。中国的“龙”地位高，有“龙子”“龙孙”之类的表达，而且龙还是中国人的图腾，中国人还是“龙的传人”，而西方的dragon却是“孽龙”，算是妖孽的一种吧，毫无褒义可言。但美国人说到dragon时最先想到的是哪里的龙呢？美国人想到的却是中国的龙，因为流行的范围更广，虽然他们有时也会想到爱尔兰的龙，或神话里圣乔治

法律英语 | 《统一商法典》对“格式之战”的规范

“格式之战”（Battle of the Forms）是商事合同订立领域一项特殊的议题，很多人在学习美国合同法的过程中，对“格式之战”有很多疑惑。那什么是“格式之战”？在商品买卖中，许多企业，尤其是小型企业，习惯使用形式固定的订货单或确认书来销售或购买货物。这些形式固定的表单的背面印有小字条款，即格式条款。格式条款是当事人预先制定的、未与对方协商的条款，其罗列的内容一般更有利于己方。通常情况下
