漢語立法中的一大特點就是用“的”字表示條件。國內(nèi)立法英譯中，可以看到對這一結(jié)構(gòu)的處理方式，除其他外，包括以下幾種：

Anyone who 式：Anyone who meets one of the following conditions...

Those who 式：Those who meet one of the following conditions...

Any person 式：Any person who meets one of the following conditions...

No one who式:有下列情形之一的，不予注冊no one who is found in one of the following cases may be registered...

If 式: if a person meets the one of the following conditions... 

Where 式：where one of the following conditions is met...
