单词 | misfeasance |
释义 | misfeasance n. 作為不當 O. ~ and nonfeasance 作為不當與不當不作為 Com.: misfeasance,nonfeasance 和 malfeasance 均有類似瀆職的含義,三個單詞的界定經常容易被混淆。misfeasance 為“作為不當”,指不當履行某人本應合法行使的行為(the improper performance of some act which one may lawfully do),如在履行合同時犯有過失,其有主動不當行為導致他人損害的含義(active misconduct working positive injury to others);而nonfeasance 為“不當不作為”,指對某人本應履行的職責采取不作為的態度(the omission of an act which one ought to do),為消極或未采取對他人的保護(passive inaction or a failure to take steps to protect others from harm);相比之下,malfeasance 則為“不當作為”,指行使了某人本完全不應當行使的行為(the doing of an act which one ought not to do at all) |
