例句：In Testimony Whereof we have hereto signed this Document on _____ (date) accepted on _____

第二条第二款规定，如果上述第二条第一款规定的先决条件在合同期满日之前既未实现又未放弃，
合同各方亦可根据具体情况，约定合理延长合同的期满日。
4． As 合同英语中 as 出现的频率极高，而且用法灵活多变，是典型的自由人。在某种意义上讲，
as 使用的熟练程度可以衡量合同英语的造诣。具体用法和含义见以下实例：
As 放在代表规定的 provide，stipulate，set forth，prescribe 等词的过去分词前，含义为“依照某某
25
规定”。
例1：For purpose of this, Capital Account shall be adjusted hypothetically as provided for in Section 4.6
herein.基于此，应依照本合同第四条第六款调整资金账户。
例 2：based on their respective Venture interests as set forth in Section 5.2 hereof. 基于本合同第五条第

deemed received 8 days after they have been sent and notices or demands sent by telex shall be deemed
received at the time of the dispatch thereof.除非本合同另有规定，所有通知和请求以航空挂号信寄出则
发出后 8 日应视为送达收悉，以电传方式发出则在发送时视为收悉。
As 构成 as the case may be（视具体情况而定）， as the case may require（视具体要求而定）和 as the
Venture
rs may determine 等短语。
例句：The Venture may relocate its office from time to time or have additional offices as the Venturers may
determine.该
合资公司视投资者决策，可随时迁址或增添营业场所。
As 构成 as of the date of ____ (date) 短语是英语合同中表示“自某年某月某日起”最正式的表达。
例句：In witness whereof, the parties have caused this instrument to be duly executed as of the day and
year first above written. 合同双方签订本文件，该文件自以上书就日期即时生效，特此为证。
As 还用在 as soon as practical 短语中，意义用法相当于 as soon as possible.
例句：During the Employment Period, the Company agrees that it shall recommend to the Board the
election of the Employee as a Director of the Company on the Commencement Date or as soon as practical
thereafter. 本公司同意在聘用期间，应自本协议开始或其后尽早的时间向董事会推选受聘方为本公
司董事。
As 与 such 连用是英文合同中一大特色，参看本书第二章第三节部分，在此不在赘述。
5. foregoing, aforesaid, the said, aforementioned, above-mentioned, in question
Foregoing, aforesaid, the said, aforementioned, above-mentioned 一族，一般放在名词前作限定，意为“前
述的”或“上述的”，为避免重复已经提到的姓名或名称。
例 1：The Bank shall give prompt written or telex notice to the Borrower of the Interest Rate in effect from
time to time in accordance with the foregoing sentence.本银行将根据前述的句子以书面或电传形式随
时及时通知借款方生效的利率。
例 2：The contract shall be written in Chinese and in ____________. Both language versions are equally
authentic. In the event of any discrepancy between the two aforementioned versions, the Chinese version
26
shall prevail.本合同应以中文和_文书就，具同等法律效力。前述两种文本如有歧异，以中文文本为
准。
In question: under consideration; being talk about. 通常表示“在考虑或讨论中的”某件事或某个问题，
可译为“这”或“该”问题。
例句：All prices to be paid by the Buyer under its obligations of
the buyback/counter-purchase Contract
shall be the world market prices taking into account the other delivery terms for the goods in question.买
方根据返销或回购货物合同的义务所支付的价格应为世界市场价格，结合考虑该货物的其他交货条
件。
6. follows, as below, the following
这一族都表示“下列”，一般放在动词后，而 the following 作为“下列”在英文合同中用的较少。这
样的例子俯手皆是，恐怕每个英文合同都少不了的。
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows; 为此，双方达成契约，
约定如下：
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as below.
为此，双方约定如下：

中英文合同中常用词词义的选择 英文合同中的词语是构成合同文本最基本的单位。对合同文本中的一些单词词义的正确选择，是翻译合同文书的前提和基础。如果选择的词义不确切，整篇译文就难以理解。在翻译合同文件时，会涉及到经济、法律、贸易、金融、技术等领域的专业词汇，这些词汇在不同的合同条款和上下文中的表达和词义有很大区别。即使在同一专业中的词义都有很大区别，因此我们必须仔细推敲，选择最确切的词义。例如：cover一词，作为动词讲一般都理解为“包括”，例如：The prices quoted in the brochure cover packing and are subject to 35％trade discount，可译为：“小册子所报的价格包括包装费在内，可有35％的商业折扣。”但以下的含有cover的句子，就不能将cover译成“包括”： (1) No doubt there must have been some reason for the delay in shipment. To cover this contingency we cabled you On Mar．29 that we were extending the letter of credit for two weeks．句中的cover应理解为“应付”，全句可译成： 无疑，一定有某种致使装船延误的原因。为应付这一意外事件，我方已于3月29日电告你方，将信用证延期两周。 (2) If Party A insists on ifs original quotation. Party B will have to cover its requirements elsewhere 句中的cover指“购进货物”，全句可译成： 如果甲方坚持原报价，则乙方只能从其他方面购进其需要的货物。 (3) In order to cover our order, we have arranged with the Bank of China, Dalian Branch, a credit for USD 55，000． 句中的cover在这里表示“偿付”，全句可译成： 为支付我方订货，我方已联系中国银行大连分行开立55，000美元的信用证。 (4) Party B shall cover the goods with particular average． 句中的cover在这里的含义为：to insure sth against loss，全句可译成： 乙方将对该货物投保水渍险。 英译汉是如此，汉译英时也应该注意同类的问题。请看下面的句子： 如在解释上有分歧，应以英文本为准。 该句中的“解释”在汉英词典上可以有多种选择，如：explanation，construe，exposition，interpretation，但该句中的“解释”是对依法成立的合同条款的正式性解释，应选择interpretation，全句可译成： In case Of any divergence Of interpretations, the English text shall prevail。 以上例子仅是选择词义的一个方面。本章将就合同翻译时经常碰到的词义处理问题，归纳为三个方面：同义词的选择，一词多义的问题，容易混淆的词的处理。现分述如下： 1. Choice of Synonyms同义词的选择 同义词在英语中为数不少，在合同英语中也时常出现，翻译时必须作出正确选择。否则，如
XIAOLING TRADE CO.,LTD NO.11 ZHONGSHAN STREET XIAMEN FUJIAN CHINA SALES CONFIRMATION Dear Sirs, [打印预览][保存][退出]
销货合同(Sales Confirmation) 国际货物买卖合同一般金额大，内容繁杂，有效期长，因此许多国家的法律要求采用书面形式。书面合同主要有两种形式，即正式合同（CONTRACT）和合同确认书（CONFIRMATION），虽然其繁简不同，但具有同等法律效力，对买卖双方均有约束力。大宗商品或成交额较大的交易，多采用正式合同；而金额不大，批数较多的小土特产品或轻工产品，或者已订立代理、包销等长期协议的交易多采用合同确认书（亦称简式合同）。 无论采哪种形式，合同抬头应醒目注明SALES CONTRACT或SALES CONFIRMATION（对销售合同或确认书而言）等字样。一般来说出口合同的格式都是由我方（出口公司）事先印制好的，因此有时在SALES CONFIRMATION之前加上出口公司名称或是公司的标志等（我外贸公司进口时也习惯由我方印制进口合同）。交易成立后，寄交买方签署（countersign），作为交易成立的书面凭据。 在SimTrade中，买卖双方都可以起草合同，填写时只需将名称、地址等内容作相应变化既可。如合同由买方起草时，上方空白栏则填入进口商公司名称及地址，以此类推。 报表上方两行空白栏 为出口商公司抬头，须分别填写出口商的英文名称及地址。 如：GRAND WESTERN FOODS CORP. Room2501, Jiafa Mansion, Beijing West road, Nanjing 210005, P. R. China Messrs 详细填列交易对象（即进口商）的名称及地址。 在SimTrade中，进口商的详细资料请在“淘金网”的公司库里查询。 如：Dynasty Furniture Manufacturing Ltd. 3344-54th Avenue S. E. Calgary, Alberta T2C OAS Canada No. 销货合同编号，由卖方自行编设，以便存储归档管理之用。 在SimTrade中，该编号已由卖方在起草合同时填入，单据中不能再更改。 Date 填写销货合同制作日期。 如：2005年2月18日，可以有以下几种日期格式填法： 1. 2005-02-18或02-18-2005 2. 2005/02/18或02/18/2005 3. 050218（信用证电文上的日期格式） 4. February 18, 2005或Feb 18, 2005 Product No. 填写货号，销货合同上应记明各种货物编号，以求联系沟通方便。 在SimTrade中，货号必须选择“淘金网”的“产品展示”里已有的商品编号。 Description
英文合同常用词、短语和句型 1.订立、变更合同 动词 Make a contract / Enter into / form / create / conclude / execute /covenant 名词 the making of / the conclusion of a contract / the entry into contract / the formation of / the creation of / the conclusion of / the execution of a contract / covenant This agreement/contract is made and entered into 8th of August, 2008 by and between Party A and Party B. 2.合同的终止、解除、撤销 terminate a contract 通常指合同在约定期满前终止履行，可双方同意而作出，也指一方因另一方违约而行使的一种救济权。美国“终止”指合同各方未违反合同约定而依法终止合同。 cancel a contact 因另一方违约而解除合同，其效力基本等同于terminate，不同是撤销方仍有权对整个合同或中未履行部分主张救济。 discharge a contract 合同当事人的合同关系已终止。 rescind a contract 免除当事人之间的合同义务，将当事人各自地位恢复到合同订立之前状态。 revoke a contract 即以取消或撤回的方式废止或宣布无效。出于行为人的意愿，即主动发出的行为。
英文合同常用词汇和句型 1、开场白（合同的当事人背景介绍） 2、过渡条款 Now therefore, in consideration of the premises and covenants described herein-after, Party A and Party B agree as follows: 参考译文：因此，双方基于各自提供之对价订立本合同，并做如下约定： 注释和说明:”in consideration of premises and covenants”表示“在当事人提供的对价基础上”而非仅指“考虑到…”。读者应重点理解“premise”这个词。在一般场合下它是指与房屋相关的基础不动产或处所，但是在英文合同里边它却变成了“前提条件”。 3、结尾条款： IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by duly authorized representatives of both parties on the date and year first written above. 参考译文：本合同由被正当授权之人，于本协议于上述记载之日期代表双方当事人订立，特此证明。 注释和说明： （1）“in witness whereof”的含义类似于中文合同中常见的“口说无凭，立此为证”。 （2）“execute”在英文合同中常解为“签署”，而非“执行”。 4、favor, “in favor of somebody”= ”in one’s favor”的意思主要有两种： 以某人为受益人、有利于某人 5、subject to sth. 1) 遵从、遵守： This letter of Credit is subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1983 Revision), international Chamber of commerce, Publication No.400. 2) 根据（法律、法规、合同） 3) 作动词用，意思是“服从于…”，“率属于…”，“使经受…” 4) 办理、存在。 5、Without prejudice to “在不损坏……”。 6、Any person who does... shall …表示任何做某人之人应。 7、For the purpose of “就……而言”。 8、Provided that 但是 9、Notwithstanding “即使，表示一种让步”。 10、in question “表示该” 11、including but not limited to “包括但不限于” 12、常理解为“有权利做某事” 1）have the right to do 2）be entitled to do 3）do sth. at one’s option or/ and discretion 4）have the authority to do 13、合同英语中“因为”的表达方法 1）owing to 2）attributable to 3）due to 4）in view of 5）by virtue of 14、notify sb. Of sth. in writing: 书面通知某人某事 15、in lieu of: 替代 16、关联企业： 1）affiliate: 广义上的具有法人人格的子公司，只要有参股关系即可，常翻译为“关联公司”

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

商务英语口语900句：合同专用词汇及短语详解 一．理解法律文件中的专门用语 英语中某些副词如“here”及“where”在法律文件中往往当作前缀，与另一个词构成法律词汇中的专门用语。在法律文件中用这些词，能够避免重复，避免误解，避免歧义，使行文准确、简洁。以这种方 法构成的词主要有： hereafter, hereby, herein, hereof, hereto hereunder, hereupon, herewith, hereinbefore, hereinafter; thereafter, thereby, therein, thereinafter, thereinbefore, thereon, thereof, thereunder, thereupon, therewith; whereas, whereby, wherein, whereof, whereon, etc。 这些词各有各的含义，作者只能捡其中几个细说： 比如： 1. Hereby： by means of; by reason of this 之意，即特此， 所以，兹等意。常用于法律文件、合同协议的正式文件的开头语，在 条款中需要强调时也可用。 举原文说明，如： The Employer hereby covenants to pay the Contractor in consideration of the execution and completion of the Works and the remedying of defects therein the Contract Price or such other sum as may become payable under the provisions of the Contract at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Contract. 文中：
