摘　　要：根据《合同法》第114条的规定,违约金是指双方当事人事先约定,在一方违约时应当根据违约的情况向对方支付的一定数额的金钱。就其性质而言,是对特定违约形态下违约损害赔偿的预先约定。定金是指合同双方当事人约定为担保合同的成立、生效或者履行,而由一方预先向对方给付的一定数量的货币或其他代替物。违约金与定金从概念上看,它们既有明显的区别,又有一定的联系。本文试图通过对它们各自内容的阐述,以说明它们之间存有的密切关系。According to The Contract Law the provisions of Section 114, penalty is the parties prior agreement, one party default in the e vent of default should be according to the other party to pay a certain amount of money.
