    词源词根法
    【结构分析】attorney=at(=ad,去)+torney(委托)→被委托人→代理人→律师或检察官=【词源解释】torney←古法语torner(指定、委托)=【背景知识】在英国法律中,private attorney(私人代理)是受人委托、替人办理经济或法律事务的人;而public attorney(公共代理)则是有执照的律师,负责为barrister(出庭律师、大律师)准备案件材料,而只有barrister才有资格出庭辩护。现在,public attorney这一角色已经与solicitor(事务律师)合并,在英国attorney只用来表示“代理人”,但在美国依然可以表示“律师”,尤其是有资格出庭辩护的律师。更重要的是,在美国attorney还可以表示“检察官”,因为检察官实际上就是受政府委托的律师。

    小知识

    An attorney is a lawyer. Attorneys sue people, defend people, and serve as experts on the law.

    When there's any kind of legal issue, attorneys will be involved. They're the legal experts with law degrees who are also known as “lawyers.” You'll often find them in court, defending clients or trying to put criminals in jail. Attorneys work for businesses, schools, the government, and individuals. So if you get arrested, need to write a will, or have to hash out a binding contract, an attorney is the person to call.
