lawsuit
★★
🇺🇸 /lˈɔsˌut/
lawsuit 指为解决民事纠纷而向法院提起的诉讼；作动词时表示提起诉讼。
💡 记忆钩子
把争议带进法庭，请法院作出裁决，就是 lawsuit：它首先是“一场诉讼”，也可以表示“提起这场诉讼”。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把 lawsuit 理解成泛指任何法律问题；它通常指已经或将要由法院处理的民事案件。
- 先掌握名词用法，再记住动词用法；日常英语中名词用法更常见。

core 民事诉讼📖 当双方发生民事纠纷，其中一方把事情提交法院，请法院裁决时，这个案件就是 lawsuit。它强调的是正式进入法院程序的争议，而不只是私下争吵或一般法律咨询。💡 常用句型是 file a lawsuit against somebody 或 bring a lawsuit against somebody，表示“起诉某人”。也可以说 be involved in a lawsuit 或 settle a lawsuit；正式法律语境中常见，但普通新闻和日常谈话也会使用。The company filed a lawsuit against its former partner.这家公司起诉了它以前的合作伙伴。The lawsuit was settled before it went to trial.这宗诉讼在开庭审理前就和解了。

rare 提起诉讼📖 作动词时表示把某人告上法院，也就是把“诉讼”这个行动做出来；不过现代英语中通常不用这个动词，而用 sue。💡 理论上可用 lawsuit somebody 表示“起诉某人”，但这是罕见且不自然的用法。现代英语应优先使用 sue somebody 或 file a lawsuit against somebody；不要把 lawsuit 当作日常常用动词。
