mutatis mutandis /mjuːˌtɑː.tɪs mjuːˈtæn.dɪs/〈拉〉已作必要的修正(用作状语)

mutatis mutandis is a Medieval Latin phrase meaning "the necessary changes having been made" or "once the necessary changes have been made". It remains unnaturalized and is therefore usually italicized. It is used in English and other European languages to acknowledge that a comparison being made requires certain obvious alterations, which are left unstated.

It is not to be confused with the similar ceteris paribus, which excludes any changes other than those explicitly mentioned. Mutatis mutandis is increasingly replaced by non-Latin equivalents, but is still used in law, economics, mathematics, linguistics, and philosophy. In particular, in logic, it is encountered when discussing counterfactuals, as a shorthand for all the initial and derived changes which have been previously discussed.

ceteris paribus  /ˌket.ə.rɪs ˈpær.ɪ.bʊs/〈拉〉(如)其他条件[情况]均同;别无其他情形

Ceteris paribus or caeteris paribus is a Latin phrase meaning "with other things the same" or "all or other things being equal or held constant" or "all other things being equal" or "all else being equal" with English translations of the phrase enjoying wide use equaling or exceeding its italicized Latin equivalent. A prediction or a statement about a causal, empirical, or logical relation between two states of affairs is ceteris paribus if it is acknowledged that the prediction, although usually accurate in expected conditions, can fail or the relation can be abolished by intervening factors.
