摘　　要："应当"作为一种法律规范语词形式,在中国大陆立法中广泛使用且相当混乱,公法与私法法律规范不分,权利性法律规范与义务性法律规范不分,导致理解与适用上的歧义。"应当"在民事法律规范中是提倡性规范、非义务性规范,建议用"应该"取而代之,而现行语境下具有命令性规范意义的"应当"一词用"必须"取而代之。The use of the word ＂should＂ as a canonical form in law is very ruleless in China's Mainland legislation. No discriminations between using and understanding the word in public and private laws often bring ambiguities in the same situation in discretionary legal norm and obligatory legal norm. In this paper, we suggest replacing the word ＂should＂ with ＂shall＂ when we talk about optional rules and replacing ＂should＂ with ＂must＂ when we talk about compulsory rules.

关 键 词：应当 词义 私法 应该 提倡性规范
