单词 | vested interest |
释义 | vested interest vested interest1. In law, an interest in property that is certain to come about rather than one dependent upon some event that may not happen. For example, a gift to ‘A for life and then to B’ means that A’s interest is vested in possession, because A has the property now. B’s gift is also vested (but not in possession) because A will certainly die sometime and then B (or B’s estate if B is dead) will inherit the property. A gift to C ‘if C reaches the age of 30’ is not vested, because C may die before reaching that age. An interest that is not vested is known as a contingent interest. vestibule training A form of training in which new employees learn the job in a setting that approximates as closely as is practicable to the actual working environment. An example is the training of airline pilots in a simulated cockpit. This type of training is generally used when the use of actual equipment by untrained employees would be too risky or when the actual work setting would be unconducive to learning (e.g. because of noise levels). |
