法律翻译同时涉足三个领域，即法律学界、语言学界和翻译界。因此，法律翻译对译者要求十分苛刻。例如，在英汉、汉英翻译中，译者除了要掌握一定程度的中国法律以及普通法知识之外，还要擅长法律英语这一特殊用途英语（ESP）。与所有的翻译一样，法律翻译的译文要忠实原文的实质内容，还要尽量流畅通顺。法律翻译通常包括的内容很多，如立法性文件的翻译，合同翻译，诉讼类文书翻译，法庭口译，法学论文翻译，涉外公证文书翻译，判例翻译等等。
法律翻译者在翻译立法条文、法学论文、法院判决等法律文件时，常常会碰到诸如“条”、“款”、“项”、“目”等词的翻译，参阅国内一些法律翻译（英汉、汉英）工具书，我们发现，各工具书对上述四个词的翻译或者没有涉及，或者十分混乱。这些翻译之中，不乏十分正确的翻译，但是有些翻译则值得商榷。本文作者旨在探讨这一组词的译法，为法律英语词典编纂及法律条文的翻译提供借鉴。本文从英译汉、汉译英两个方面来说明这一问题。

People want to know under what circumstances and how far they will run the risk of coming against what is so much stronger than themselves, and hence it becomes a business to find out when this danger is to be feared. The object of our study, then, is prediction, the prediction of the incidence of the public force through the instrumentality of the courts.
