Comment: "Thanks, pkchan, for explaining "所為".
Hewhew, "manifestation of intent" is indeed a valid legal term, but I believe in my case, it is only "expression" instead of "manifestation". Hence, I will go with "expression of intent"."

Denyce Seow: 意思表示 = expression of intention? - If yes, what is "所為"?
所为, ,动词,就是进行意思表示的行为,这是一个法律上,特别是合同法上的词, 特别是谛约过程中,一方提出要约,就是一种意思表示行为,另一方承诺和拒绝,也是一种意思表示.
不过,每个人在翻译上,根据具体词境上,可以有自己的用法. 翻译本身就是一种非常灵活的事情.只要在语句通顺的情况下,表达原文的意思就可以了.
