摘　　要：不论是大陆法系还是英美法系,都将要约与承诺作为描述合同缔结过程的专门术语。通过历史梳理,本文展示了这一对术语并未直接在罗马法当中出现,而是在汲取罗马法、教会法等诸种养分之后,经波蒂埃等人的推动才形成了跨越法系的影响力。本文的历史考察意在说明,要约承诺虽然是唯一呈现在法典中的缔约流程,但缔约是不是只能通过要约承诺这一种方式,却值得推敲。这一思考对正在制定民法典的中国,更有意义。Offer and Acceptance are legal terminologies used in the course of concluding a contract both in Common Law and Civil Law. From a historical perspective, this paper presents that Offer and Acceptance are not terminologies appearing in Roman Law directly, but the terminologies evolved through the promotion of Pothier based on the relevant materials in Roman Law and Canon Law. A his- torical study of this thesis aims to demonstrate that whether the exchange of an offer and an acceptance is the only possible mode of concluding a contract, although it is nevertheless the only one described by legal statutes. The above discussion appears to be more relevant to China since china is in the process of elabo- rating a Civil Code
