一、如何理解题目
一提起法律,许多考生第1感觉就是类似宪法、劳动法、刑法等很庄严、范围很广的法律。假如按这种思路准备考试的话,的确会受到自身知识和专业词汇不足的限制。
实际上law到底是什么?高级英语字典的解释如下:
Thewholesystemorsetofrulesmadebythegovernmentofatown,state,country,etc!
Aparticularkindoflaw.
Arulemadebythegovenmentofatown,state,country,etc!
根据上面的定义,alaw可以是一系列或单个的法律,法规,可以是国家、洲甚至城市制定的。因此,考生可参照的范围扩大了,既可以是宪法这样的大法律,也可以是合同法、移民法、专利法等比较个别的法律,更可以是地方政府制定的某些政策和法规,如独生子女政策、房屋限购政策、限制环境污染政策等等。
