National lawmakers on Wednesday started to deliberate draft general provisions of civil law, which, if adopted, will bring the country one step closer to a long-absent civil code.
全國(guó)人大代表8日開(kāi)始審議民法總則草案，該草案如果通過(guò)，我國(guó)將離長(zhǎng)期缺席的民法典又近了一步。

After the adoption of the general provisions, lawmakers will step up work on compiling individual books on property, contract and marriage, among others, which will be integrated into a unified code.
民法總則出臺(tái)以后，全國(guó)人大將加緊財(cái)產(chǎn)、合同、婚姻等民事單行法律，之后匯編成為統(tǒng)一的民法典。

全國(guó)人大常委會(huì)委員長(zhǎng)張德江在關(guān)于全國(guó)人民代表大會(huì)常務(wù)委員會(huì)的工作報(bào)告指出，民法總則（the general provisions of civil law）規(guī)定民法的基本原則（basic principles）和一般規(guī)則（general rules），在民法典（civil code）中起統(tǒng)率性、綱領(lǐng)性作用。

此前，民法總則草案已經(jīng)先后3次提請(qǐng)審議，并通過(guò)中國(guó)人大網(wǎng)向社會(huì)公開(kāi)征求意見(jiàn)。此次審議如若通過(guò)，我國(guó)將朝著民法典的出臺(tái)又邁進(jìn)一步。
