序言随着我国人世和改革开放程度不断加深，越来越多的外资进入中国市场，越来越多的中国企业走出国门寻找商机。无论是迎进来，还是走出去，这些企业所面临的一个共同问题就是法律问题，而这些法律问题中的大多数又都属于涉外法律的工作范畴。由于法律文化、法律条款的差异，中外双方在合作过程中不可避免的会出现许多矛盾分歧，减少、化解这些矛盾分歧需要沟通谈判，甚至需要通过法律手段来解决问题。所有这些工作都需要法律工作者通过专业外语完成。因此，在国际化趋势日见凸显的今天，掌握专业外语已经成为法律人必备的职业素质。
众所周知，美国法是英美法系的典型代表，其法律体系完整、内容丰富，既有传统的普通法，又有新兴的成文法；既有统一的联邦法，又有各州的法律。同时，美国法在世界范围内影响深远，学习研究美国法意义重大，这不仅表现为许多国家都在研究美国的法律规则，借鉴其成熟做法，还表现为许多国际公约也参照美国法的理念、原则、规则制定。
因此，本书作为学习法律英语的精读教材，主要介绍美国法，希望读者通过学习权威、实用的美国法律知识，掌握地道、纯正的法律英语。一般的语言教材都会系统的讲授语法知识，但本书的编写设想学生已经完成了从中学英语到大学一、二年级的基础英语学习，系统掌握了英语语法等基础知识并有不低于六千英语词汇量。本书具有以下特点：
首先，编者参考了大量的美国原版法学书籍，包括美国法学院教材及大量判例，力求实现教材内容的权威性和丰富性。
其次，本书引用了许多极具代表性的英文案例。英美法系是判例法系，无论是法官还是律师都特别注重对判例的研究，因此学习美国法不能绕过案例，通过研究案例更有利于掌握标准的法律英语，也更容易掌握美国法的精髓。本书选取了十几个经典案例，以期最大程度的展现美国法原貌。
再次，本书在每部分后面都附有相关的练习题，以期帮助读者检查自己学习掌握法律英语术语、基础美国法知识和逻辑推理知识的程度，查漏补缺。
本书共分十三部分。第一、二部分首先介绍了基本法律英语词汇的特点、美国的法律体系，这是学好法律英语的基础。
文摘The field of torts embraces a group of civil wrongs'other than breach of contract'that inter-fore with person，property，reputation，or may sometimes be both a crime punishable by the statein a criminal prosecution and also a tort actionable by the victim in a suit for damages.Thecriminal prosecution and the damage action are quite separate and unrelated proceedings.Theessential purpose of the law of torts is compensatory and，though punitive damages may occa.sionally be awarded'its essentially punitive and an injured party is not awarded compensation inthe criminal proceeding.

The emergence of Torts as an independent branch of tort law cflllle strikingly late in Ameri.can legal history.Although William Blackstone and his eighteenth-century contemporaries，intheir efforts to classify the law，identified a residual category of noncriminal wrongs not arisingout of contract，Torts was not considered a discrete branch of law until the late nineteenth cen.tury.The first American treatise on Torts appeared in 1 859；Torts was first taught as a separatelaw school subject in 1870；the first了orts casebook was published in 1874。 A standard explanation for the emergence of an independent identity for Torts late in the nineteenth century is the affinity of tort doctrines，especially negligence，to the problems produced by industrialization.The process by which Torts emerged as a discrete branch of law was more complex，however，and less dictated by the demands of industrial enterprise than the standard account suggests.Changes associated with industrial enterprise did provide many more cases involving strangers，a phenomenon that played a part in the emergence of Torts as all in.dependent branc
