訴狀
訴狀是當事人提出和表達訴訟請求，要求法院對案件行使管轄權并作出公正判決的重要法律文書，一般由當事人自己撰寫或請其他人或有關法律服務機構代書，提交法院作為訴訟材料。其英文格式很多，其名稱因管轄地或法院或訴訟種類的不同而相去很遠，如美國<民事訴訟法典)規定，其被稱為Complaint，而在英國或加拿大，其又被稱為statement of claim等，本書只能簡要地介紹其中一兩種格式。

Plaintiff，by his attorney，alleges as follows：
原告通過其律師聲明如下：
I．Plaintiff is informed and believes，and based upon such information and belief， alleges that each defendant designated herein as DOES was responsible， negligently or in some Other actionable manner，for the events and happenings referred to herein that proximately caused injury and damage to plaintiff as hereinafter alleged．
原告得知和確信，且在此基礎之上斷言，本起訴書中指控的每一位被告，不論是因過失或其他行為方式，均對本起訴書中列舉的且由此給原告造成傷害和損失的事件負有責任。
The petition of Chongqing Wanbao Company，a Chinese corporation，which has its registered office in Sha Ping Ba，Chongqing，P．R．China，respectfully shows：
重慶萬寶公司是一家在中國重慶沙坪壩登記注冊的中國公司，謹此提出如下申訴：
1．The defendants are John W．Smith(“Smith”)and Mary L．White (“White”)，each of whom is domiciled in this county．
1)被告人為約翰·W．史密斯(以下簡稱史密斯)和瑪麗·L．懷特(以下簡稱懷特)均為本縣居民。
2．Smith owes plaintiff five thousand and fifty dollars ( $ 5050.00)，with ten per cent (10%)annum interest from May 1，1995。
2)史密斯欠原告債務伍千零伍拾美金( $ 5050.00)，年利率為百分之壹拾(10%)，從1995年5月1日算起。
3．Plaintiff sold and delivered to Smith the merchandise described，on the dates and for the prices shown on the itemized statement of account attached as an exhibit．
3)原告曾將一批約定的貨物出售并提供給史密斯，其日期和價格見所附作為證據的明細賬目。
4．Smith has made only the payments shown，and on the dates indicated， on the attached statement and has failed to pay the balance due thereon．
4)史密斯僅在明細賬目所示的日期支付了部分價款，款額見明細賬目，而結欠價款至今未付。
5．Smith was engaged in the retail grocery business，under the trade name Wonder Trade，and he purchased the merchandise described above from plaintiff as part of his stock in trade．
5)史密斯從事雜貨零售業，其店名為萬德雜貨店，他從原告處購得的上述貨物是其店存的一部分。
6．On January l2，1996，Smith sold his entire business in bulk，and out of the ordinary course of trade，to White，for the sum of five hundred thousand dollars ($ 500,000.00)cash．This was the fair value of the assets sold．
6)1996年1月12日，史密斯違反貿易常規，將其商店以現金伍拾萬元整個賣給了懷特。這一價格為所出售資產的公平價格。
7．White paid the purchase price to Smith without paying or seeing to it that the purchase money was applied to the payment of the bona fide claims of Smith's creditors and without first having sent the notices of the transfer and the statement to creditors provided for in Art．21 of the (name of a statute)．
7)懷特向史密斯支付了買店費，然而卻沒有支付或保證將買店費用于支付史密斯債權人的正當索賠，也沒有按××法規第21條之規定，預先將轉讓通知和聲明送交債權人。
8．The transfer is therefore void as against the plaintiff and other creditors of the transferor and it should be invalidated．In addition White should be held liable to Smith's creditors for the fair value of the goods and merchandise he received from Smith，and ordered to account therefore to Smith's creditors．
8)因此，該轉讓違背了原告及轉讓人其他債權人的利益，屬于非法，應當作廢。此外，懷特因從史密斯處用公平價購買了貨物而應對史密斯的債權人負責，且應向史密斯的債權人說明貨物的情況。
WHEREFORE，plaintiff prays for judgement：
由此，原告懇請法院作出以下判決：
Ⅰ．Against John W．Smith for the sum of five thousand and fifty dollars ($ 50500.00)with ten percent(10%) interest per annum from May 1，1995．
(一)約翰·W．史密斯賠償五千零五十($ 5050.00)美元，加上年利率為10%的利息，從1995年5月1日算起。
Ⅱ．Against John W．Smith and Mary L．White，declaring invalid the transfer made between them on January 12，1996 of the assets of the grocery business conducted by Smith under the trade name Wonder Trade．
(二)由約翰·W．史密斯和瑪麗·L懷特宣布他們在1996年1月12日就史密斯雜貨店貨物資產所作的轉讓無效。
Ⅲ．Against Mary L．White，declaring her liable to all creditors of John W． Smith as receiver for the fair value of that property，the sum of eight hundred thousand dollars ($ 800，000.00)and ordering her to account to them for it．
(三)由瑪麗·L．懷特宣布，她應就貨物的公平價款八十萬(800，000.00)美元對約翰·W．史密斯的所有債權人負責，且應對他們說明該款項的用途。
