摘要：
In this article, I discuss similarities and differences between legal translators and legal interpreters. The discussion is centred around the impact that the choice of background assumptions as to meaning of linguistic items in legal texts has on the way lawyers and translators conceptualise their own work, respectively. The dispute between proponents of a strong and a weaker approach to legal meaning in legal interpretation is presented and the relations to legal translation is investigated. By way of conclusion I present some of the major consequences for legal translators of opting for the empirically more easily justifiable weaker approach. © 2002 Kluwer Law International.
