中

　　shall，在汉语中有很多种译法。通常被译成“须”、“应”，有时被译成“应当”，也有时译成“要”、“将”、“可”，还有被译成“必须”，甚至被完全忽略不译的。试看以下各例。

　　1.

In addition to the procedure prescribed in Articles 88 and 89 of this law, the appointment and removal of judges of the Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be made by the Chief Executive with the endorsement of the Legislative Council of the Region and reported to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for the record.

　　6.In the event the Buyers’ such appointment does not arrive in time, the Sellers’ system of inspection shall be final and binding upon the parties concerned.

　　万一买方对这种委托未能及时到达，卖方的检查制度将是决定性的并对有关各方有约束力。
