摘　　要：法律解释作为法学中最具争议的概念之一,通常被认为其争议性来自“解释”部分。如果忽视法律解释中的“法律”部分,就无法整体理解法律解释的争议性。由于法律解释通常是成文法解释的另一种称呼,因此法律解释的主要对象就是制定法,并且制定法的意义是由语言及其文义来决定的。通常认为法律解释的必要性来自语言上的问题,然而这会摧毁制定法的意义,因此必须重新思考法律解释的必要性,这源于两个方面:一是法律对官员和民众提供了不同的指引,另一个是法律的连续性和权威性之间如何保持一致。由于所有类型的法律都会面对这两个问题,因此法律解释同时也会涉及判例法和习惯法。Legal interpretation constitutes one of the most controversial concepts in jurispru-dence.The part of"interpretation"is often considered as what leads to a controversial""legal inter-pretation"However,if we ignore the"legal"part of a"legal interpretation",we cannot truly un-derstand the controversial nature of legal interpretations.Since a legal interpretation is usually an-other name for interpretation of statutory law,the main object of a legal interpretation is the statu-tory law and the meaning of the statutory law is determined by its due language and textual mean-ing.One would assume that the necessity of legal interpretation is associated with linguistic prob-lems,yet such assumption inevitably mars the significance of statutory law and we must rethink the necessity of legal interpretation.In fact,a law provides different kinds of guidance to officials and the public,and it is vital to maintain consistency between continuity and authority of the law.Since all types of laws are faced with the two issues,an legal interpretation is related with both case law and customary law.
