今天,是余生的第一天。

查阅布莱克法律词典可知,在法律语境下,game有两种基本含义:

其一,就是我们熟悉的“游戏、竞赛” 。布莱克词典中给出如下释义:

1,“A contest, for amusement or for a prize, whose outcome depends on the skill, strength, or luck of the players. ”

例如:

机会游戏——game of chance

A game whose outcome is determined by luck rather than skill. 

结果取决于运气而不是技巧的游戏。


其二,是指“狩猎”。布莱克词典中给出如下释义:

2. “Wild animals and birds considered as objects of pursuit, for food or sport; esp.,

animals for which one must have a license to hunt. ”


game 表示“狩猎”在法律条文中相当常见,例如:

狩猎法——GAME LAW

game law.

A federal or state law that regulates the hunting of game, esp. one that forbids the capturing or killing of specified game either entirely or seasonally, describes the means for killing or capturing game in season, or restricts the number and type of game animals that may be killed or captured in season. 16 USCA §§ 661–667; 18 USCA §§ 41–47. [Cases: Game 4.]
