| 单词 | Animal |
| 释义 | 動物 Generally, any living thing which is not a human being or a plant. It is defined differently in various statutes for different purposes. For example, it may include a dead animal: Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance (Cap 187) s 2(1); or exclude birds and fish: Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance (Cap 132) s 2(1); or non-vertebrates: Animals (Control of Experiments) Ordinance (Cap 340) s 2. Animals are classed under common law as either domestic (or tame) or wild. The term ‘wild’ (ferae naturae) applied to animals includes not only those animals which are savage by nature but also those of a more mild or timid nature which cannot be classed as domestic or tame animals: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 1, Animals [20.001]. Whether an animal is wild or domestic is a question of law, not of fact. See also Domestic animal; Wild animal. 一般來說，任何非人類或植物的生物。在不同法例中就不同目的有不同定義，舉例說，可包括一頭死去的動物：《動植物（瀕危物種保護）條例》（第187章）等2(1)條；或不包括禽鳥及魚類：《公共衛生及市政條例》（第132章）等2(1)條；或非脊椎動物：《動物（實驗管制）條例》（第340章）等2條。在普通法下，動物可分家養的及野生的。用於動物身上，「野生」一詞不單包括大自然的野獸，還包括比較溫馴但未被歸類為家養的動物：Halsbury’s Law of Hong Kong, 第1冊，動物，第[20.001]段。一頭動物是野生或是家養，則屬一個法律問題而非事實問題。另見 Domestic animal; Wild animal。n. |
