第27解

commission broker

【英文】In the USA，a commission broke is a stock-exchange dealer who executes order to buy or sell securities on payment of a fee or a commission based on the value of the deal.

【译文】在美国，证劵经纪人就是执行（他人）买卖证劵命令并依据其交易价值获取酬金或佣金的证券交易商。

【解释】commission broker为（美国的）“证券经纪人”，其职能在本例解释性原文中已经非常明白。可是，人们容易把它与commission agent（贸易代理人）相混淆。

再如：

The commission agent accepts or sells goods for the account of his principal，but in his own name.He is independent of his principal，has a claim for his commission，and，except in France，has the right when dealing with certain goods to conduct the transaction as he sees fit.〔译文：（贸易代理人）以自己的名义替其委托人承接和销售商品，他独立于其委托人并因其行为要求委托人支付佣金。除在法国外，贸易代理人在处置某些商品时有权按自己认为适合的方式进行交易。〕
