ordinary care 普通注意；一般注意

在法律上，它与应有注意〔due care〕、合理注意〔reasonable care〕、足够注意〔adequate care〕和适当注意〔proper care〕同义。此种注意的程度是指一个通常谨慎和有能力的人，在从事同样的事务或者努力时，在相同或类似的情况下注意的程度。这是判断是否犯有过失的一种标准。在履行其普通法的责任上，必须尽到注意义务，以防止对他人的人身或财产造成损害。它是一种相对的标准，一般注意应根据个案情况确定。

Due Care: Also referred to as ordinary care and reasonable care, is the standard of care where a reasonable person would exercise in the same situation or under similar circumstances. This standard of care is used in a tort action to determine whether a person was negligent. Due care can also refer to due diligence in the context of corporate law. 以下为相关例句，可供参考：

例句1

Ordinary care or reasonable care is what is expected of most people in most cases. The failure to exercise ordinary care may be negligence. This arises most often in the context of there being some duty owed, a breach of duty and resulting damage. It is the failure to exercise ordinary care that is negligence.

在大多数情况下，普通注意或合理注意是大多数人的期望。未能行使普通注意可能是疏忽。这种最常见的情况是，存在一些应尽的义务、违反义务以及由此造成的损害。疏忽就是没有行使普通注意。

例句2

In the discussion of ordinary care the most important concept is what is the source of that duty. In terms of a tort that source of duty cannot be a contract. If the source of the duty is a contract then what you have is a breach of contract claim. A tort claim is different. Tort damages likewise are different than contract damages. The duty to exercise ordinary care may arise from the rules of the road. In a slip and fall case the source of duty may be the state code known as the Property Maintenance Code. That Code may set standards as to how property is to be maintained. In the case of a medical procedure the source of the duty may be publications put out by professional groups that tell surgeons how procedures are to be done. Likewise in regard to products there may be industry standards as to how products are to be made.

在普通注意的讨论中，最重要的概念是这种责任的来源。就侵权行为而言，责任来源不能是合同。如果责任的来源是合同，那么你所拥有的就是违约索赔。侵权索赔是不同的。侵权损害赔偿同样不同于合同损害赔偿。行使普通注意的责任可能源于道路规则。在滑倒和跌倒的情况下，责任的来源可能是州行为准则，称为财产维护行为准则。该准则可能为如何维护财产制定标准。在医疗程序的情况下，责任的来源可能是专业团体发布的出版物，告诉外科医生如何进行程序。同样，对于产品，可能会有关于如何制造产品的行业标准。

例句3

Proof of what is ordinary care is only part of the battle in a tort claim. In addition there must be proof that the party charged with the fault violated that standard of ordinary care.

普通注意的证明只是侵权索赔的一部分。此外，必须有证据证明被控过错的一方违反了普通注意的标准。

例句4

In tort law, an ordinary care is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual, requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others. It is the first element that must be established to proceed with an action in negligence. The claimant must be able to show a duty of care imposed by law which the defendant has breached. In turn, breaching a duty may subject an individual to liability.

在侵权法中，普通注意是强加给个人的一项法律义务，要求在实施任何可预见的伤害他人的行为时遵守合理注意的标准。这是进行一项行动的疏忽必须成立的第一个要素。原告必须能够证明被告违反了法律规定的注意义务。反过来，违反义务可能使个人承担责任。
