Bilateral is primarily used in diplomacy and law to describe agreements, negotiations, or relations between two countries or parties — 'bilateral trade agreement,' 'bilateral talks.' In medicine, it means affecting both sides of the body — 'bilateral knee replacement.' The word contrasts with 'unilateral' (one-sided) and 'multilateral' (involving many parties). It is standard in formal, particularly diplomatic and legal, writing.

bilateral 主要用于外交和法律领域，描述两国或两方之间的协议、谈判或关系——'bilateral trade agreement（双边贸易协定）''bilateral talks（双边会谈）'。在医学中，它指影响身体两侧的——'bilateral knee replacement（双侧膝关节置换）'。该词与'unilateral（单边的）'和'multilateral（多边的）'形成对比。它在正式写作中属于标准用语，尤其是外交和法律文本。

Bilateral se emplea principalmente en la diplomacia y el derecho para describir acuerdos, negociaciones o relaciones entre dos países o partes: 'bilateral trade agreement' (acuerdo comercial bilateral), 'bilateral talks' (conversaciones bilaterales). En medicina, significa que afecta a ambos lados del cuerpo: 'bilateral knee replacement' (reemplazo bilateral de rodilla). El término se opone a 'unilateral' (unilateral) y 'multilateral' (multilateral). Es habitual en la escritura formal, particularmente en textos diplomáticos y jurídicos.

bilateral は主に外交・法律分野で、二国間または二者間の合意・交渉・関係を表す――「bilateral trade agreement（二国間貿易協定）」「bilateral talks（二国間協議）」。医学では、身体の両側に影響するものを指す――「bilateral knee replacement（両側人工膝関節置換術）」。「unilateral（一方的な）」や「multilateral（多国間の）」と対をなす。フォーマルな文章、特に外交・法律文書で標準的に使用される。

bilateral은 주로 외교와 법률에서 두 국가 또는 당사자 간의 협정, 협상, 관계를 설명하는 데 사용된다 — 'bilateral trade agreement(양자 무역 협정)', 'bilateral talks(양자 회담)'. 의학에서는 신체의 양쪽에 영향을 미치는 것을 의미한다 — 'bilateral knee replacement(양측 무릎 인공 관절 치환)'. 이 단어는 'unilateral(일방적인)'과 'multilateral(다자간의)'과 대비된다. 공식적인, 특히 외교 및 법률 문서에서 표준적으로 사용된다.
