Abstract

In “General Provisions of Civil Law” of the People’s Republic of China, there are some important new terms such as “gongxuliangsu” (公序良俗, public policy and ethics), “bingchichengshi, keshouchengnuo” (秉持诚实，恪守承诺, uphold honesty and honor commitment) and “shanyixiangduiren” (善意相对人, the good-faith third party or the good-faith opposite party ). Although the concepts expressed are originated from the continental law system, they fit into China’s traditional legal culture and become legal terms with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Under the guidance of the concept of “term relevance”, this paper explains their meanings and origins from a multidisciplinary perspective. Based on self-constructed composite corpus, this paper makes data mining and corpus analysis, and offers constructive or deliberative translations of the new terms with cross validation.
