<注释>Why do we call a single buildingthe premises ô To answer this question,we must go back to the Middle Ages.But first, let it be noted thatpremises comes from the past participle praemissa, which is both a feminine singular and a neuter plural form of the Latin verbpraemittere, .to send in advance, utter by way of preface, place in front, prefix.. In Medieval Latin the feminine formpraemissa was used as a term in logic, for which we still use the termpremise descended from the Medieval Latin word (first recorded in a work composed before 380).Medieval Latinpraemissa in the plural meant .things mentioned before. and was used in legal documents, almost always in the plural,a use that was followed in Old French and Middle English, both of which borrowed the word from Latin.A more specific legal sense in Middle English,.that property, collectively, which is specified in the beginning of a legal document and which is conveyed, as by grant,.was also always in the plural in Middle English and later Modern English.And so it remained when this sense was extended to mean .a house or building with its grounds or appurtenances,.a usage first recorded before 730.
为什么我们把单独的一幢建筑称为the premises ？ 为了回答这个问题，我们必须回到中世纪。但首先必须注意的是premises 是从过去式 praemissa 而来的， 这是意思为.预先发送,以前言的方式说出，放在前边，前缀.的拉丁动词praemittere 的阴性单数形式及中性复数形式。 在中世纪拉丁语中，praemissa 作为阴性形式被用作逻辑状语， 因此我们仍然使用这个来源于中世纪拉丁语的术语premise （第一次记载于380年前编纂的作品中）。中世纪拉丁语praemissa 的复数形式意为.前面提到的事物.， 用于法律文件并总是以复数形式出现，古法语和中古英语中都从拉丁语中借用了这个词及其用法。中古英语中有一种更特殊的法律方面的意义，.法律文件开头指明并根据转让的财产，如通过赠送.,在中世纪英语和后来的现代英语中也是以复数形式使用。因此当它的意思被扩展为.连同其土地及设施一所房子或一幢建筑.时仍保留这一用法，该用法最初记载于730年前。
