合同中常用词语解释

(Explanations to Commonly-used words and Expressions in Contracts)

不少人在阅读FIDIC合同条款时感到很吃力，其中一个重要原因是词语障碍。为了帮助读者解决这一困难，我们特意从红皮书中选择了一些这类的词汇和短语，对他们进行较为详细的讲解，以供参考。

1.“here+介词”所构成的合成词，如：hereafter（此后），hereby（特此，兹），

herein（此中，于此），hereinafter（在下文中），hereof（关于这一点，在本文中），hereto （于此，至此），heretofore（在此之前，前此），hereupon（就在此刻），herewith（于此一道，随函附上）等。在这类合成词中，here相当于this，因此，hereafter = after this，hereto = to this，herewith = with this，余类推。请看下面例句：

a)Example forms for the letter of Invitation and Instructions to Tenderers are reproduced

hereafter, for use with any of the three Books.

下文复制了邀请函和投标人须知范例格式，供三本合同条件中的任何一本使

用。

b)Whereas Party B and Party A have entered into this Contract for the installation of Party

A’s air-conditioning equipment, the Parties here to do hereby agree as follows. 鉴于乙

方与甲方订立合同，为甲方安装空调设备，双方达成如下协议。the Parties here to =

the Parties to this contract:合同双方。

c)We enclose herewith a soft copy of this document.

随信附上本文件的软拷贝。Herewith = with this letter:随本信

2.“there+介词”所构成的合成词，如：thereafter（此后，其后，据此），thereby

（因此，从而，由此；借此；在那附近），therefor（为此，因此，因之），therefrom（从哪里，从哪一点，从其中，从此），therein（在其中；在那件事情上，在哪一点上），thereinafter（在下文中，一下），thereof（其，其中；它的），thereon（在其上，就此），thereto（加于[协议]等之上，随附），thereunder（在其下；依照），thereupon（因此，关于此事；随即，随后），therewith（以此，与此；立刻，随即；同时，又）等。在这类合成词中，there相当于that，因此，thereafter = after that，thereto = to that，therewith = with that，余类推。请看下面例句：

a)The Drawings shall remain in the sole custody of Engineer, but two copies there of shall

be provided to the Contractor free of charge.

图纸应由工程师单独保管，但应免费为承包商提供两套图纸的复印件。Two

copies thereof = two copies of the Drawings.

b)The several documents forming the Contractor are to be taken as mutually explanatory

of one another, but in case of ambiguities or discrepancies the same shall be explained

and adjusted by the Engineer who shall thereupon issue to the Contractor
