通常来说,词汇的翻译要看具体语境。Good一词,在法律英语中含义十分丰富,《元照英美法词典》给出的含义如下:
有效的;法律上有充分理由的;奏效的;不可反驳的;可靠的;信誉良好的;有偿还能力的;能支付原定数额的;价格与价值相当的;到期会付款的
翻译时,要根据上下文判断合适的译法。常见的搭配有:
Good faith 诚信/善意
Good cause 充足理由
Good consideration 有效对价
Good and valid 充分有效的
Good and sufficient 充分有效的
具体使用也可参考如下双语例句:
The carrier is not entitled to invoke subparagraph 1 ( c ) of this article against a third party that has acquired a negotiable transport document or a negotiable electronic transport record in good faith, unless the contract particulars state that the goods may be carried on deck.
第三方已善意取得可转让运输单证或可转让电子运输记录的,承运人无权对其援用本条第一款第三项的规定,除非合同事项载明可以在舱面上载运货物。
