Negotiable 可转让的

The ability to be sold or transferred to another party as a form of payment. Something which is negotiable is transferrable by endorsement and delivery. A negotiable instrument could be a check made out to you, because you could endorse it for payment to you or transfer it to someone else as payment to them.

Legal right of the holder to demand and require payment from the drawer, maker, or endorser if the instrument( such as a check, draft, promissory note) is dishonored. Endorsement 背书

1. A legal term that refers to the signing of a document which allows for the

legal transfer of a negotiable from one party to another.

2.An attachment to a document that amends or adds to it. Typically, it is an added

provision to an insurance policy. Also referred to as a "rider".

When an employer signs a check, they are endorsing the transfer of money from the business accounts to the account of the employee.

If an insurance contract has a provision stating that in the event of the policy holder's death the family of the policy holder will continue to receive the policy holder's monthly income for a period of time, this is an example of an endorsement or a rider. Endorsements and riders cause the price of the premium to rise as they provide a positive benefit.

Right to recourse 追索权偿还请求权

Loan agreements: legal right of a lender to seek repayment of the loan from the borrower’s (and /or the guarantor’s) unpledged personal property, in addition to the property pledged to the lender as collateral.

Factoring 保理

Factoring is a financial transaction whereby a business job sells its accounts receivable, such as invoices, to a third party at a discount in exchange for immediate money with which to finance continued business.

First, the emphasis is on the value of the receivables. Secondly, factoring is not a

loan–it is the purchase of a financial asset (the receivable). Finally, a bank loan involves two parties whereas factoring involves three.

Liability 责任,义务

A liability is defined as an obligation of an entity arising from past transactions or events, the settlement of which may result in the transfer or use of assets, provision of services or other yielding of economic benefits in the future. A liability is defined by the following characteristics:

?Any type of borrowing from persons or banks for improving a business or personal income that is payable during short or long time;

? A duty or responsibility to others that entails settlement by future transfer or use of assets, provision of services, or other transaction yielding an economic

benefit, at a specified or determinable date, on occurrence of a specified event, or on demand;

? A duty or responsibility that obligates the entity to another, leaving it little or no discretion to avoid settlement; and,

? A transaction or event obligating the entity that has already occurred.

商务英文合同的词汇特征及其翻译

【摘要】商务合同是商业法人之间为实现一定的经济目的、明确相互权利义务的一种文体。商务合同英语属半法律性语言,用词准确、正式、严谨,具有鲜明文体意义。本文基于典型实例分析,探讨了商务英文合同的词汇特征及翻译方法。 【关键词】商务英文合同词汇特征翻译 商务合同是商品经济的产物,它随着商品经济的产生而产生,也随着商品经济的发展而发展,是商品交换关系在法律上的体现,受到国家法律的承认和保护。在世界经济全球化和一体化的今天,国际商务活动日益频繁,贸易国法人之间为实现一定的经济利益而签订的明确规定了贸易双方的权利和义务,具有法律效力的文件——国际商务合同的重要性也越来越突出。商务合同英语既具有商务英语的特点,同时也具有法律英语的特点。本文拟从庄重正式、准确严谨和简洁明了三个角度阐述分析商务英文合同的词汇特征及其翻译方法。 一、庄重正式 Martin Joos按照语言使用的正式程度提出了英语的五种变体,即庄重文体(frozen style),正式文体(formal style),商议文体(consultative style),随便文体(casual style)和亲密文体(intimate style)。一般认为商务合同英语属庄重文体,即五种变体英语中正式程度最高的一种。商务英文合同的庄重正式的词汇特征体现在专业术语和外来词古体词的使用上。 1.商务专业术语 专业术语(technical term留学生论文网http://biz.doczj.com/doc/4c4016712.html, s)具有鲜明的文体特色。其意义精确、单一、无歧义,且不带有个人感情色彩。为了准确描述商务活动中的各个交易环节以及与此相关的各类单据,商务合同英语文体中使用了大量表意清楚的商务专业术语。例如,policy(保险单),negotiable(可转让的),liability(责任、义务),right of recourse (追索权),factoring(保理)等。这些专业术语可避免冗长的解释,简化交易过程,提高工作效率。 2.法律专业术语 为了准确描述商务活动中交易双方各自的权利与义务,商务合同英语中也使用了较多的法律专业的术语。狭义的法律术语指仅出现在或大多数情况下出现在法律文件中的法律科学的特有术语,此意义上的法律术语在商务合同文体中的数量不多,如:imputed negligence (转嫁的过失责任)特指可向与行为人有利害关系的人或有合同关系的另一方追究责任的过失。商务合同中这类狭义的法律专业术语不以大众是否理解或接受为转移,它是商务合同语言准确表达的保障,是其独有的现象。而广义的法律术语则包括在法律文体中被赋予特定法律意义的常用词语,如action(诉讼),party(当事人),financial responsibility(经济责任,指违约责任,具体可指“赔偿损失”、“支付违约金”和“支付迟延支付金额的利息”)。这类词语把握不准确的话很容易导致翻译和理解当中的模糊性,因此要格外留意。如,“The contract is concluded in case of acceptance of the offer.”很容易译为“提议一旦接受,合同随即订立。”而实际上,“acceptance”与“offer”是合同法中两个重要的法律术语,其规范的译文分别为“承诺”、“要约”,前者是指受要约人对要约内容表同意,而后者则指一方希望与另一方订立合同。 3.外来词和古体词 商务合同英语中使用的商务类专业术语有不少源于拉丁语或法语,有些则是由其词根派生或合成,许多术语都有相同的前缀或后缀。它们的意义比较稳定,利于精确地表达概念,例如:ad valorem duty (拉丁语)从价(关)税,bona fide holder (拉丁语)汇票的善意持票人,pro rata tax rate比例税率(拉丁语,即proportional tax rate),insurance premium per capita (拉丁语)人均保险费,force majeure(法语)不可抗力,pro forma (拉丁语)估算表。

商务合同的严谨:英译需注意问题 [ 2006-3-22 11:36:00 | By: dushun1982 ] 前言 英译商务合同貌似简单,实则不然。商务合同是一种特殊的应用文体,重在记实,用词行文的一大特点就是准确与严谨。 本文拟运用翻译教学中所积累的英译商务合同的实例,从三个方面论述如何从大处着眼、小处着手、力求准确严谨英译商务合同。 一、酌情使用公文语惯用副词 商务合同属于法律性公文,所以英译时,有些词语要用公文语词语、特别是酌情使用英语惯用的一套公文语副词,就会起到使译文结构严谨、逻辑严密、言简意赅的作用。但是从一些合同的英文译本中发现,这种公文语副同常被普通词语所代替,从而影响到译文的质量。 实际上,这种公文语惯用副同为数并不多,而已构词简单易记。常用的这类副词是由 here、there、w here 等副词分别加上 after、by、in、of、on、to、under、upon、with 等副词,构成一体化形式的公文语副词。例如: 从此以后、今后:hereafter; 此后、以后:thereafter; 在其上:thereonthereupon; 在其下:thereunder; 对于这个:hereto; 对于那个:whereto; 在上文:hereinabovehereinbefore; 在下文:hereinafterhereinbelow; 在上文中、在上一部分中:thereinbefore; 在下文中、在下一部分中:thereinafter. 现用两个实例,说明在英译合同中如何酌情使用上述副词。 例 1:本合同自买方和建造方签署之日生效。 This Contract shall come into force from the date of execution hereof by the Buyer and the B uilder. 例 2:下述签署人同意在中国制造新产品,其品牌以此为合适。 The undersigned hereby agrees that the new products whereto this trade name is more appropri ate are made in China. 二、谨慎选用极易混淆的词语 英译商务合同时,常常由于选同不当而寻致词不达意或者意思模棱两可,有时甚至表达的是完全不同的含义。因此了解与掌握极易混淆的词语的区别是极为重要的,是提高英译质量的关键因素之一,现把常用且易混淆的七对词语,用典型实例论述如下。 2.1 shipping advice 与 shipping instructions shipping advice 是“装运通知”,是由出口商(卖主)发给进口商(买主)的。然而 shipping

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:
