合同翻译要点
1) 措词应正式规范、严谨准确。 2) 准确理解贸易和法律术语是译好商 务合同的前提。 3) 译文应符合译入语的习惯。英语合 同中大量的定语从句和状语从句，以 及各种分词结构等，翻译时应按汉语 表达习惯正确译出原句的意思。
2) 准确理解贸易和法律术语是译好 商务合同的前提。
The Seller shall effect insurance against all risks, war risk and on deck risk if applicable, with a first class insurance company covering 110% of the invoice value of the Contract Equipment with the Buyer as the beneficiary. The insurance has to be covered in the Contract Currency showing claims payable in China and with no deductible clause.
不可抗力：由于在制造、装载和运输 过程中发生的不可抗力而导致卖方延 期交货或不能交货，卖方可免除责任。 但卖方须立即告知买方并在14天内以 空邮方式向买方提供事故发生的证明 文件。在上述情况下，卖方仍须采取 措施尽快发货。
条件状语从句
商务合同需规定在何种条件下， 双方应承担什么义务，享受什么 权利。因此，表示条件、目的、 方式和地点的状语从句屡见不鲜。 这些从句往往用if、in case 来引导， 或将should放在句首来表示。
This contract shall come into force from the date of execution hereof by the Buyer and the Builder. 本合同自买方和建造方签署之 日生效。
使用成对意义相近或相对的词
在合同中常常出现成对用的同义词，之间用and 或or 连接。如： If the Contractor shall duly perform and observe all the terms, provisions, conditions and stipulations of the said Contract, this obligation shall be null and void but otherwise shall be and remain in full force and effect. 如果承包人切实履行并遵守上述合同的所有条 款、条件及规定，本义务即告无效，否则应保 持完全有效。
使用书面用语
合同用语不能使用一般的口语，必 须选用正式、庄重的词汇。 At the request of Party B, Party A agrees to send technicians to assist Party B to install the equipment. “assist”较“help”正式。
