reasonable在形容人时,一般指的是有理智的;明智的。“a reasonable person”是法律英语,Black’s Law Dictionary 对此的解释是:A hypothetical person used as a legal standard, especially to determine whether whether some one acted with negligence; the reasonable person acts sensibly, does things without serious delay, and takes proper but not excessive precaution。

也就是说,a reasonable person在法律中一般被视为“理性人”,指的是法律所拟制的、具有正常精神状态、普通知识与经验及审慎处事能力的想象中的人。理性人,并非确有其人,法律只是把它作为抽象的、客观的标准,以确定注意的程度。该词常用于侵权行为法(Tort Law)和刑法(Criminal Law)中。

例句:

“Proprietary Information” means any trade secrets and confidential information of a party, including: (i) all technical and non-technical information that relates to the business of Publisher or Service Provider that is marked, identified, or communicated prior to or at the time of disclosure as confidential or proprietary or that would under the circumstances appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary。

“专有信息”指一方的任何商业秘密和保密信息,包括:(i)与发行方或服务供应商业务有关的、在披露前或披露时被标记、确定或告知为机密或专有的信息或在此种情况下对于任何理性的人而言应为保密或专有的所有技术和非技术信息。

此外,reasonable在形容除人以外的其他事物时,一般被译为“合理”或“适当”,如协议中经常会出现的reasonable care 即为合理注意;reasonable time for delivery 合理交货时间;普通法中的reasonable use doctrine合理使用原则(所有权人应当合理行使权利,不得损害他人的合法权利);reasonable notice 适当的通知。
