As opposed to the greater wrong of conversion, trespass to chattels is only actionable if actual damagecan be shown.

3.uty of care (注意义务): In tort law, a duty of care is a legal obligation imposed on an ndividual requiring that he adheres to a standard of reasonablecare while performing any cts that could foreseeably harm others.

One party, for examplea corporate trust company or the trust department of a bank, holds a fiduciary relation or acts in a fiduciary capacity to another, such as one whose funds are entrusted to it for investment. In a fiduciary relation one person, in a position of vulnerability, justifiably reposes confidence, good faith, reliance and trust in another whose aid, advice or protection is sought in some matter. In such a relation good conscience requires oneto act at all times for thesolebenefit and interests of another, with loyalty to those interests.

6.roduct liability (产品责任): Product liability is the area of law in which manufacturers, istributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public are held responsible for the injuries those products cause. In the United States, the claims most commonly associated with product liability are negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, and various consumer protection claims.

Each typeof product liability claim requires different elements to be proven to present a successful claim.

Economic torts protect people from( 1)with their tradeor business. Thearea includes the doctrine of restraint of trade and has largely been ( 2)in the 20th century by statutory interventions on collective labor law and modern antitrust or competition law. The“absence of any ( 3)principle drawing together the different heads of economic tort ( 4)”has often been remarked upon.

Two cases demonstrated economic tort s ( 5)to competition and labor law. In Mogul Steamship Co. Ltd. the ( 6)argued he had been driven from the Chinese tea market by competitors at a“shipping conference”thathad acted together to underprice his company. But this cartel was ruled lawful and“nothing more than a war of competition waged in the ( 7)of their own trade”. Nowadays, this would be considered a( 8)cartel.

III Paragraph translation from English into Chinese.

As a rule no distinction is made between thosetorts which would ordinarily beclassified as intentional and those which would ordinarily be classified as negligent, nor do the courts discuss the effect of different kinds of insanity or of varying degrees of capacity as bearing upon the ability of the defendant to understand that particular act in question or to make a reasoned decision with respect to it, although it is sometimes said thatan insaneperson is not liable for torts requiring malice of which he is incapable.

IV Paragraph translation from Chinese into English.

每个人都要对其侵权行为负责,在有限的情况下儿童亦然(但是,父母仅当其作为该儿童的代理人或未能按照其监护义务行事时才负此责) ,但国家不在此列,除非法律明文规定取消了国家豁免权。
