án)利持有者專有的一系列合法權(quán)利被稱作“私有財產(chǎn)”。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Ownershipofprivatepropertydefinesagroupofrightswithregardtothesubjectofproperty;e.g.,aplotoflandoranautomobile.withregardto關(guān)于私有財產(chǎn)所有者還具有一些與相關(guān)財產(chǎn)有關(guān)的權(quán)利，如一塊土地或一部汽車。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Thesepropertyrightsgenerallyincludetherighttopossessthesubject,useit,disposeofit,andprohibitanyoneelsefrominterferingwithitforanindefiniteperiodoftime.這些財產(chǎn)權(quán)通常包括占有、使用、轉(zhuǎn)讓相關(guān)財產(chǎn)，以及禁止其他任何人不定期的干擾。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Publicrightsareheldincommonbyadefinablegroupofpeople.incommon共有公共權(quán)利被某一確定群體共同擁有。TherightsguaranteedbytheUnitedStatesConstitutionaretheheritageofallAmericancitizens.被聯(lián)邦憲法保障的權(quán)利是所有美國公民享有的遺產(chǎn)。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Eachmemberoftheclassofrightholdersmayassertapublicrightindividually,eventhoughtherightiscommontoall.權(quán)利持有者群體的每一個成員可以獨立地堅持某個公共權(quán)利，盡管這個權(quán)利是所有成員共有的。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Thus,eachAmericancitizenhaslegalauthorizationtosueagovernmentalunitifitfrustrateshisexerciseofafundamentalrightsuchasfreedomofspeech.這樣，每一個美國公民都有合法的權(quán)利起訴政府，如果政府剝奪了他的基本權(quán)利，如言論自由。,Professional-relatedEngineering,OneofthethorniestproblemsperplexingtheAmericanlegalsystemis:Atwhatpointdoesagovernmentalregulationtoprotectthepublichealth,safety,andwelfare（不定式短語做目的狀語）becamea“regulatorytaking”ofprivatepropertyforwhichjustcompensationmustbepaid?一直令美國立法困惑的最棘手的問題之一是：為了保護公眾健康、安全和福利，政府機構(gòu)只支付一定的補償，可以在何種程度上“調(diào)整性占有”私人財產(chǎn)？,Professional-relatedEngineering,Waterquantityrightsmaybesubjecttoreasonablepublicregulationsuchasrulesgoverningregistrationorforfeiturefornonuse.besubjectto應(yīng)服從.，受制于用水量權(quán)應(yīng)服從合理的公眾規(guī)范，如注冊登記制度或不使用時收回的政策。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Butawaterquantityrightisprivatepropertyandgovernmentcannotusurpawaterquantityrightwithoutpayingfairmarketvalueforit.topayforsth.為某事（物）支付但水量權(quán)是私人財產(chǎn)，政府不支付公平的市場價格就不能侵占水量權(quán)。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Inanumberofwesternstates,water-shortmunicipalitiesarestatutorilyauthorizedtotakeoversenioragriculturaldiversionrights,butonlyafterpaymentofjustcompensationtofarmersandranchers.takeover占有，接任在西部許多州，缺水的市政當(dāng)局只支付農(nóng)民和農(nóng)場主一些補償后，就被準(zhǔn)許占有長期以來一直為農(nóng)業(yè)使用的水權(quán)。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Thepublichasarighttorecreationalopportunities,butthisdosenotjustifyzoningprivatelakefrontpropertyasapublicwaterfrontpark.Thepublic公眾，民眾公眾有休閑娛樂的權(quán)利，但將私人湖區(qū)周邊財產(chǎn)作為公共的水邊公園是不公正的。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Ifgovernmentwantstocreateaparkonthatsite,itmustpurchasethelandorpublicaccessrightsfromtheowner.如果政府想要在這個位置建設(shè)一個公園，它不許從業(yè)主那兒購買土地或公眾出入的權(quán)利。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Arighttoaparticularquantityofwaterisprivatepropertybecauseitisuniquetotherightholder,butitisadifferentmodeofpropertythaninaplotoflandoranautomobile.享有一定的水量權(quán)是私人財產(chǎn)，因為它對于權(quán)利擁有者是唯一的，但與一塊土地或一輛汽車相比它又是另外不同形式的財產(chǎn)。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Waterinanaturalwaterbodyissoimportanttosocietythatitcannotbeprivatelyowned.Itisownedbyeachstateastrusteeforitscitizens.sothat如此以致于天然水體中的水對于社會如此重要，以致于不能夠被私人占有。每個州為了它的市民作為它的監(jiān)管人而擁有它。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Inotherwords,waterinnaturalwaterbodiesis“publicproperty”;itbelongstoallcitizensofthestate.Inotherwords換句話說waterbody水體belongto屬于自然水體中的水是公共財產(chǎn)，它屬于這個州所有的市民。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Aprivatecitizencanonlyowntherighttousesuchwater.個人只擁有使用這類水的權(quán)利Thisiswhatlawyerscalla“usufructuaryright”.這就是律師講的所謂的“使用權(quán)”。,Professional-relatedEngineering,It（形式主語）isnotmeaninglesssemanticstosay（真正主語）thatthesubjectofaprivatepropertyrightinwaterquantityisnotthewateritselfbuttheuseofwater,eventhoughinmanyAmericanstateswaterrightscanbeboughtandsold.isnotbut不是而是盡管在美國的許多州水權(quán)可以買賣，但對水量這個私有財產(chǎn)權(quán)不是指水本身而是水的使用權(quán)。這種說明并不是無意義的文字游戲。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Foronething,thedistinctionsupportsextraordinarystatepowerstoregulatewateruse,powerswhichastatecanassertagainstthefederalgovernmentaswellasitsowncitizens.foronething首先首先，這種差別支持有突出能力的州執(zhí)政者控制管理水的使用，并與聯(lián)邦政府和它自己的市民進行抗?fàn)帯?Professional-relatedEngineering,Afterall,astrueownerofthewaterinnaturalwaterbodieswithinitsboundaries,astateshouldpossessgreaterauthoritytoregulatewaterusethantoregulatelandorautomobileuse.afterall雖然，盡管雖然，作為境內(nèi)天然水體中水的真正所有者，一個州對水的用途管理方面擁有的權(quán)利比對土地和汽車的管理要更大。,Professional-relatedEngineering,Butifgovernmentgoestoofarinprotectingpublicrightsattheexpenseofprivaterights,itsactionsmaybedeclared“takings”requiringthepaymentofcompensation.但如果政府以犧牲個人權(quán)利來過度保護公眾權(quán)利，它的行為被稱作需要支付補償費的“收入”。,
