第22解

bar

【英文】When I was first called to the bar，I received a very large certificate bearing the Governor’s signature evidencing my appointment as Attorney at Law and Solicitor in Chancery.

【译文】我第一次获得律师资格时，我得到一张很大的证书。证书上有州长的签名，证明我已被任命为律师和衡平法院法务官。

【解释】bar 作为动词时，在法律上的基本含义是“禁止”，本例中的bar为名词，指“法栏”，故called to the bar指“获得律师开业资格”。此外，该词还可以与其他词构成更多词组。

再如：

1.Last month he refused to be called within the bar.〔译文：上月他拒绝担任皇室律师。〕

2.Fisher was behind bars last night，charged with attempted murder.

〔译文：由于被指控犯有谋杀未遂罪，费希尔昨晚进了监狱。〕
