这个我7256说过一下。又仔细看了一下webster.上面又比较细得解释。 我的感觉是:lawful就是合乎法理,和有很极强得条理得事物。 legal强调不和法律抵触,就是不惹事得意思。legitimate强调权威性。 licit强调依法行事。 下面是w-m得摘录: LAWFUL: implies law of any kind and often comes close to PERMISSIBLE *a lawful king* *a lawful husband* *found that there is nothing fortuitous about color mixtures but, on the contrary, that they are entirely regular and lawful in operatio F.A.Geldard* *the behavior of organisms is plainly lawful, the business of science is still to determine how they arriveH.J.M
