话说有没有人和我一样看不懂教材。。。

如题，目前在ANU读了JD两个月了，也考过一些试，目前拿的全是Pass，这个分真心低得一点底气都没有。目前讲到duty of care，里面什么intermediate examination什么proximity什么remoteness都不太懂，虽然知道这些单词的意思，不过看教材犹如文言文一般，晕晕乎乎，简直醉到不行。求解，像我这样如何是好？

我觉得你中文的用法也不好

要厚道

法律用词有专有意思，可以参考Black's Law Dictionary，万事开头难，自己多下些功夫，慢慢就适应了。

1 看看revision guide 之类的书，把复杂问题会化简，虽然也不准确了。
2 求助自己的辅导老师／academic advisor之类的。

proximity 和 remoteness 本身就是policy driven的用法，实际很模糊，全是学者，法官在辩论。只能尽力跟上他们思想的步伐了。

如果是iphone，可以下载“元照英美法词典”APP，贵是贵一点，但是以楼主现在的情况，绝对物超所值。

个人觉得是个量变到质变的过程，除非英语基础特别好，两个月还属于合理的过渡期间~

保持耐心，坚持阅读，慢慢学习不要每读一词一句就在脑子里翻译成中文，读多了突然有一天你就会发现基本啥都可以读懂~

个人意见，尽量先理出一个大概的outline,比如duty of care, breach of duty, causation，这样会比较容易follow。

实在不行你就看下wikipedia吧.....有些释义也是蛮清晰的.......

举例“duty of care" ,其释义为：

In tort law, a duty of care is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others. It is the first element that must be established to proceed with an action in negligence. The claimant must be able to show a duty of care imposed by law which the defendant has breached. In turn, breaching a duty may subject an individual to liability. The duty of care may be imposed by operation of law between individuals with no current direct relationship (familial or contractual or otherwise), but eventually become related in some manner, as defined by common law (meaning case law).

Duty of care may be considered a formalization of the social contract, the implicit responsibilities held by individuals towards others within society. It is not a requirement that a duty of care be defined by law, though it will often develop through the jurisprudence of common law.

应该算是比较能理解的了吧.......
