duel
duel n. 决斗 两人或多人之间在事先约定的时间和地点，按照事先约定的条件和规则，使用致命武器进行的争斗，作为司法裁决的替代形式。中世纪初在欧洲广为采用司法决斗形式审理案件。司法决斗的程序规定得很详细，并要求有法官、法庭人员及宗教高职人员在场。司法决斗在11世纪由威廉传入英国。约从15世纪开始，出现名誉决斗。但英国直到16世纪后期才开始有决斗，18世纪最为普遍。19世纪法国有政治决斗。法国大学中有学生决斗。从法律的观点看，决斗或许是一种犯罪行为。19世纪经常有决斗者被审判，甚至被判处死刑。现代英国法律没有明确规定决斗是犯罪，但是挑战决斗是一种犯罪，使用武器主动争斗构成互殴罪。在公共场所决斗更是一项罪行。如果在决斗中杀伤他人，则定以谋杀、杀人未遂或非法伤害罪。
