內容摘要：格式條款，又被稱為格式合同、附合合同、定型化合同等。格式條款是由合同當事人一方預先擬定的，具有定型化、附從性等的特點。雖然根據交易的具體情況不同，格式條款在提示方法上各不相同，但都必須以非口頭的方式表現出來。格式條款在給現代社會帶來便利和效率的同時，它的缺陷也不可忽視。格式條款的弊端正嚴重影響著普通消費者的合法權益。合同解釋的目的是確定合同條款的真實意思。合同解釋與法律解釋是明顯不同的，而格式條款的特殊性決定了它一方面應當適用普通合同解釋的方法予以解釋，另一方面也需要運用與其特點相符的特殊方法開展解釋作業。

Abstract: The standard term, with the characteristics of standardization and adhesion, which is also called the standard contract or the adhesion contract, is drafted by just one part of the consumer contract beforehand. Although the ways to point out the standard terms are different because of the diversity of the transactions, yet they have to be expressed out through all kinds of means except for verbal agreements. The standard terms are convenient and efficient to the modern society, but at the same time, we should never neglect the defects of them for they are affecting the lawful rights and interests of the consumers. The purpose of the interpretation of the contract is to find out the true meaning of the contract. The interpretations of the contract and the law are different from each other. On one hand, we have to interpret the standard terms through the way that used to explain the common contracts; on the other hand, we should also use the methods that conform to the characteristics because of the particularities of the standard terms.
