法律翻译是翻译中的高端服务，它主要服务律师，外资企业，进出口公司等社会上层群体，质量要求和技术难度都相当高。作为法律语言学主要研究内容之一，包括口译和笔译，在国内、国际社会生活中将起日益重要的作用。法律翻译工作除了对译员及相关的条件提出较高的要求外，还受制于法律语言本身的特点。因此，翻译时往往会出现许多问题。下面，北京翻译公司为各位罗列出常见的七大问题！

causal (原因的，有关因果的)
casual(偶然的，临时的，随便的)
例句：在被告过失与原告所受伤害之间，肯定有一个因果关系。

译文：If the place of performance is unclear, and the payment is money, the performance shall be effected at the place of residence of the party receiving the payment; if the payment is other than money, the performance shall be effected at the place of residence of the party fulfilling the obligation.
二、语法错误
当地警方证实，2012年6月4日，涉嫌在加拿大蒙特利尔杀害并肢解一名中国留学生的一名29岁加拿大色情男演员在柏林被捕。
On June 4, 2012, a 29-year-old Canadian porn actor suspected with killing and dismembering (肢解) a Chinese student in Montreal, Canada, was arrested in Berlin, local police authorities confirmed.
修改要点：with→of
suspect sb. of doing sth.怀疑某人做人事。

三、术语错误
对当事人双方的诉讼标的，第三人认为有独立请求权的，有权提起诉讼。

bring a prosecution (刑事诉讼；控诉方，公诉方)→ initiate an action。
