既然在中文法律文书行文中，开场白的上述内容是必不可少的，翻译起来，也有一些比较固定的译法，不妨一记。 “ 所称 ”……“ 是指 ” ，有几种常见的译法。一是如上面的译文所示 “mentioned……refers to ” ，也可以翻译成 “be referred……shall be” ； “ 必须遵守本规定 ” 或者 “ 适用本规定 ” ，可以一律翻译成 “apply to” ，似没不要把前者翻译成 “must abide¹ by” 。。

再看一下 “ 结束语 ” 的翻译。结束语首先要说，本条例从何时起生效，有的时候还要说明以前制定的某某条例同时废止。请看上述有关市容条例的结束语以及译文：

第五十九条 本条例自公布之日起施行。 1998 年 2 月 25 目天津市第十二届人民代表大会常务委员会第四十次会议通过的《天津市环境卫生管理条例》同时废止。

Article .59 These Regulations shall become effective as from the date of promulgation². The Regulations of Tianjin Municipality on Environmental Sanitation³ that was adopted at the 40th Session of the Standing⁴ Committee of the Twelfth Tianjin Municipal People’s Congress on February 25, 1998 shall be abrogated⁵ simultaneously⁶.

“ 生效 ” 译法不一而足。经常选用的有： take effect ， come into effect ， become effective 等等。 如果原文是从某日起实施，要用 as of 这个词组，比如从 2003 年 12 月 20 日起实施，要说 These Regulations shall take effect as of December 20 ， 2003 ，而不要说成 as from December 20 ， 2003 。 “ 同时废止 ” 则比较简单，译成 be abrogated simultaneously 即可。

三部曲的第三部是 “ 规定与罚则 ” 。这两部分是孪生兄弟，相辅相成。一般情况下，翻译罚则只要在规定前边加一个 “ 不 ” 字即可。在数码时代，更是不费吹灰之力，将规定中的有关内容复制，粘贴过来，先行否定，然后再稍加整理即可。请看《天津市收购废旧金属和信托寄卖业治安管理办法》里的例子：

第三条 经营收购生产性废旧金属的单位，须经经营所在地的公安分局、县公安局审查，符合规定的，由市公安局核发特种行业许可证。
