Features: In 1775, a milestone in the history of English as a written language was reached. That year, the British Department's A Dictionary of the English Language was published. Its author was the renowned British writer and lexicographer Samuel Johnson. In the preface to this dictionary, he wrote the following: "The great pest of speech is frequency of translation... this is the most mischievous and comprehensive innovation (language great pest is frequent translation... this is the most mischievous and comprehensive innovation (remanufacturing in a harmful and comprehensive sense). The original text sparkles with the simple yet dynamic light of the work itself, while the authentic language conveys the unique personalized color of the British 'legal jargon.' Chinese students who rarely get the chance to read original Anglo-American legal texts will see from this series what true English legal texts look like. Here, there are rigorous and typical Anglo-American legal academic essays, courtroom trial transcripts filled with sharp exchanges, and the world-famous Anglo-American legal 'case study.' This collection of 'authentic legal flavor' legal English readers since the 1990s brings you the following reading experience—we believe it will be: 100 points in language, no compromise in thought."
