         英英释义:Real estate is a term that refers to the physical land, structures, and resources attached to it.

 

real property指的是“不动产”,包含范围较广

英英释义:Real property includes the physical property of the real estate, but it expands its definition to include a bundle of ownership and usage rights.

辨析| asset property

asset/ property

二者都可以作为资产、财产理解,都可以包括动产、不动产,有形资产和无形资产。

 

区别:

asset主要侧重于可以动用的资源;

property则侧重于表达对财产的所有和支配的权利。

 

因此,在选词时,如果着重表达可以用资产支付或者购买,则用asset,且通常为复数形式;如果这种表达对财产的占有、转让、租赁、抵押等权利,则用property。另外,动产和不动产通常为personal property real property,或movable and immovable property,无形资产和有形资产为tangible and intangible property

 

The Directors believe that an ability to repurchase the Shares subject to the Repurchase Mandate would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

【参考译文】融资租约于租赁开始时按租赁物业之公平价值及最低租赁付款之现值两者中之较低者入账。

 

总体来说,property可以分为real property(不动产)和personal property(动产)两大类。real property是指不能移动或一经移动就会 损害其经济效益或价值的财产,如土地、建筑物、树木、桥梁等。personal property则指能移动且移动后不会损害其经济效益或价值的财产。
