内容摘要：格式条款，又被称为格式合同、附合合同、定型化合同等。格式条款是由合同当事人一方预先拟定的，具有定型化、附从性等的特点。虽然根据交易的具体情况不同，格式条款在提示方法上各不相同，但都必须以非口头的方式表现出来。格式条款在给现代社会带来便利和效率的同时，它的缺陷也不可忽视。格式条款的弊端正严重影响着普通消费者的合法权益。合同解释的目的是确定合同条款的真实意思。合同解释与法律解释是明显不同的，而格式条款的特殊性决定了它一方面应当适用普通合同解释的方法予以解释，另一方面也需要运用与其特点相符的特殊方法开展解释作业。

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.
Key words: Standard Term, Interpretation of Contract, Interpretation Procedure
