摘要：
As any other legal language does,legal English features a wealth of complex legal concepts as well as plenty of highly and unique professional terms and complicated syntax.Proper translation of legal English texts into legal Chinese ones will throw a great social and economic impact on the society.Accordingly "accuracy" has always been regarded as the primary principle of legal English translation.However,as legal English falls within the ambit common law system and legal Chinese within the civil law system,to obtain real accuracy or even the effect of "equivalence" still remains an ideal pursuit of legal English translation standard.Having probed into Skopostheorie,which "boasts itself of one of the deconstructive translation studies"〔1〕 and focuses on the target-text’s function and practicability,the author of this article finds that as to legal English translation skopos theory,in terms of text typology,offers a reasonable elucidation for a couple of translation strategies adopted in the target text.
