传闻排除规则由三个部分组成,传闻的定义是其中最基础的组成部分。在美国证据法上存在着“陈述者中心”和“主张中心”两种不同的传闻定义。它们在历史形成过程、基本原理、对“暗示性”主张的态度等方面都存在着差异。两种传闻定义各有优劣,但是结合我国当前实际,笔者认为“主张中心”的传闻定义更符合我国诉讼制度的要求。 Rumor exclusion rules are made up of three parts, the rumor of which is the most basic part of the definition. There are two different definitions of rumors in the United States evidence law: the “statement center” and the “center of claim.” They are different in the history formation process, the basic principle, the attitude toward “suggestive ” assertion and so on. The two types of rumors have their own advantages and disadvantages, but according to the current situation in our country, the author believes that the righteousness definition of “proposition center” is more in line with the requirements of China’s litigation system.
