摘要： 侵权法在两大法系中所采路径截然不同、风格各异，这一特点与具体规则模式和一般原则模式之间的现代法律理论的区别是相伴而生的。比较侵权法的焦点主要不是实体问题，而是侵权法的基本结构和模式问题。在侵权法的诸多具体制度上，两大法系远比普遍认为的那样更为相近，二者之间并没有不可逾越的障碍和差别。

Abstract: The two contrasting approaches of tort law, in civil law tradition and common law tradition, parallel the dis-tinction in modern legal theory between rule-based and principle-based models of law. The focus of interest is noton substantive issues, but rather on the basic structure and style of tort law. The Continental law of delict andEnglish tort law are really much closer together than is commonly thought; there is no question of unbridgeablegaps and differences．
