Lawful tends to be used in technical or literary contexts. The same is true of the opposites, unlawful and illegal, but illegal is used especially about criminal activities. Legal also means 'connected with the law'. * legal和lawful都可表示“法律允許的”,可以說by legal/lawful means(以法律的手段)。lawful往往用於專門術語或文學語境,這兩個詞的反義詞unlawful和illegal也是如此,但illegal尤指犯罪活動。legal還表示“與法律有關的”◆the US legal system美國的法律體系■constitutionalˌkɒnstɪˈtjuːʃənl; NAmEˌkɑːnstəˈtuːʃənlconnected with, allowed or limited by the constitution of a country or organization憲法的;章程的;憲法(或章程)允許的;受憲法(或章程)限制的ⓘ The constitution is the system of laws and basic principles that a state, country or organization is governed by. * constitution指一個國家的基本法律體系或一個機構的基本章程◆She had long advocated constitutional reform.她長期以來一直支持修改憲法。◆They can't pass this law.
