第一篇：商務合同重要用詞對照翻譯

商務合同屬于法律性公文，所以英譯時，有些詞語要用公文語詞語、特別是酌情使用英語慣用的一套公文語副詞，就會起到使譯文結(jié)構(gòu)嚴謹、邏輯嚴密、言簡意賅的作用。

一.公文副詞

但是從一些合同的英文譯本中發(fā)現(xiàn)，這種公文語副同常被普通詞語所代替，從而影響到譯文的質(zhì)量。

實際上，這種公文語慣用副同為數(shù)并不多，而已構(gòu)詞簡單易記。常用的這類副詞是由 here、there、where 等副詞分別加上 after、by、in、of、on、to、under、upon、with 等副詞，構(gòu)成一體化形式的公文語副詞。例如：

從此以后、今后：hereafter；here after the contract

此后、以后：thereafter；there after the contract

在其上：thereon hereupon；thereon hereupon

在其下：thereunder；thereunder the contract

對于這個：hereto;hereto the contract

對于那個：whereto= to which

在上文：hereinabove hereinbefore；

在下文：hereinafter herein below；herein after the contract

在上文中、在上一部分中：thereinbefore；therein before the contract

在下文中、在下一部分中：thereinafter．Therein after the contract

現(xiàn)用兩個實例，說明在英譯合同中如何酌情使用上述副詞。

例 1：本合同自買方和建造方簽署之日生效。

This Contract shall come into force from the date of execution hereof by the Buyer and the Builder.例 2：下述簽署人同意在中國制造新產(chǎn)品，其品牌以此為合適。

The undersigned hereby agrees that the new products whereto this trade name is more appropriate are made in China.二、謹慎選用極易混淆的詞語

英譯商務合同時，常常由于選同不當而尋致詞不達意或者意思模棱兩可，有時甚至表達的是完全不同的含義。因此了解與掌握極易混淆的詞語的區(qū)別是極為重要的，是提高英譯質(zhì)量的關鍵因素之一，現(xiàn)把常用且易混淆的七對詞語，用典型實例論述如下。

2.1.shipping advice 與 shipping instructions

shipping advice 是“裝運通知”，是由出口商（賣主）發(fā)給進口商（買主）的。然而 shipping instructions 則是“裝運須知”，是進口商（買主）發(fā)給出口商（賣主）的。另外要注意區(qū)分 vendor（賣主）與 vendee（買主），consignor（發(fā)貨人）與 consignee（收貨人）。上述這三對詞語在英譯時、極易發(fā)生筆誤。

2.2.abide by 與 comply with

abide by 與 comply with 都有“遵守”的意思．

但是當主語是“人”時，英譯“遵守”須用 abide by。

當主語是非人稱時，則用 comply with 英譯“遵守”。

例 3：雙方都應遵守/雙方的一切活動都應遵守合同規(guī)定。

Both parties Shall abide by/All the activities of both parties shall comply with the contractual stipulations.2.3.change A to B 與 change A into B

英譯“把 A 改為 B”用“change A to B”，英譯“把 A 折合成/兌換成 B”用“change A into B”，兩者不可混淆。

例 4：交貨期改為 8 月并將美元折合成人民幣。

Both parties agree that change the time of shipment to August and change US dollar into Renminbi.2.4.ex 與 per

源自拉丁語的介詞 ex 與 per 有各自不同的含義。英譯由某輪船“運來”的貨物時用 ex，由某輪船“運走”的貨物用 Per，而由某輪船“承運”用 by。

例 5：由“維多利亞”輪運走/運來/承運的最后一批貨將于 10 月 1 日抵達倫敦。The last batch per/ex/by S.S.“Victoria” will arrive at London on October(S.S.= Steamship)

2.5.in 與 after

當英譯“多少天之后”的時間時，往往是指“多少天之后”的確切的一天，所以必須用介詞 in，而不能用 after，因為介詞 after 指的是“多少天之后”的不確切的任何一天。例 6：該貨于 11 月 10 日由“東風”輪運出，41 天后抵達鹿特丹港。

The good shall be shipped per M.V.“Dong Feng” on November 10 and are due to arrive at Rottedaml in 41 days.(M.V.= motor vessel

2.6.on/upon 與 after

當英譯“??到后，就??”時，用介詞 on/upon，而不用 after，因為 after 表示“之后”的時間不明確。

例 7：發(fā)票貨值須貨到付給。

The invoice value is to be paid on/upon arrival of the goods.2.7.by 與 before

當英譯終止時間時，比如“在某月某日之前”，如果包括所寫日期時，就用介詞 by；如果不包括所寫日期，即指到所寫日期的前一天為止，就要用介詞 before。

例 8：賣方須在 6 月 15 日前將貨交給買方。

The vendor shall deliver the goods to the vendee by June 15.(or: before June 16，說明含 6 月 15 日在內(nèi)。如果不含 6 月 15 日,就譯為 by June 14 或者 before June 15。)

三、慎重處理合同的關鍵細目

實踐證明，英譯合同中容易出現(xiàn)差錯的地方，一般來說，不是大的陳述性條款。而恰恰是一些關鍵的細目．比如：金錢、時間、數(shù)量等。為了避免出差錯，在英譯合同時，常常使用一些有限定作用的結(jié)構(gòu)來界定細目所指定的確切范圍。

3.1.限定責任

眾所周知，合同中要明確規(guī)定雙方的責任。為英譯出雙方責任的權限與范圍，常常使用連詞和介詞的固定結(jié)構(gòu)?，F(xiàn)把最常用的此類結(jié)構(gòu)舉例說明如下。

3.1.1 and/or

常用 and/or 英譯合同中“甲和乙+甲或乙”的內(nèi)容，這樣就可避免漏譯其中的一部分。例 9：如果上述貨物對船舶和（或）船上其它貨物造成任何損害，托運人應負全責。

The shipper shall be liable for all damage caused by such goods to the ship and/or cargo on buard.3.1.2 by and between

常用 by and between 強調(diào)合同是由“雙方”簽訂的，因此雙方必須嚴格履行合同所賦于的責任。

例 10：買賣雙方同意按下述條款購買出售下列商品并簽訂本合同。Whereby the contract This Contract is made by and between the Buyer and the Seller, whereby the Buyer agrees to buy and the Seller agrees to sell the undermentioned commodity subject to the terms and conditions stipulated below.3.2.限定時間

英譯與時間有關的文字，都應非常嚴格慎重地處理，因為合同對時間的要求是準確無誤。所以英譯起止時間時，常用以下結(jié)構(gòu)來限定準確的時間。

3.2.1 雙介詞

用雙介詞英譯含當天日期在內(nèi)的起止時間。

例 11；自 9 月 2O 日起，甲方已無權接受任何定單或收據(jù)。

Party A shall be unauthorized to accept any orders or to collect any account on and after September 20.例 12：我公司的條件是，3 個月內(nèi)，即不得晚于 5 月 1 日，支付現(xiàn)金。

Our terms are cash within three months, i.e.on or before May 1.3.2.2 not(no)later than

用“not(no)later than +日期”英譯“不遲于某月某日”。

例 13：本合同簽字之日一個月內(nèi)，即不遲于 12 月 15 日，你方須將貨物裝船。

Party B shall ship the goods within one month of the date of signing this Contract, i.e.not later than December 15.3.2.3 include 的相應形式

常用 include 的相應形式：inclusive、including 和 included，來限定含當日在內(nèi)的時間。例 14：本證在北京議付，有效期至 1 月 1 日。

This credit expires till January 1(inclusive)for negotiation in Beijing.(or:This credit expires till and including January 1 for negotiation in Beijing.)如果不包括 1 月 1 日在內(nèi)，英譯為 till and not including January 1。

3.3.限定金額

為避免金額數(shù)量的差漏、偽造或涂改，英譯時常用以下措施嚴格把關。

3.3.1.大寫文字重復金額

英譯金額須在小寫之后，在括號內(nèi)用大寫文字重復該金額，即使原文合同中沒有大寫，英譯時也有必要加上大寫。在大寫文字前加上“SAY”，意為“大寫”；在最后加上“ONLY”．意思為“整”。必須注意：小寫與大寫的金額數(shù)量要一致。

例 16：聘方須每月付給受聘方美元 500 元整。

Party A shall pay Party B a monthly salary of US $ 500(SAY FIVE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ONLY).3.3.2.正確使用貨幣符號

英譯金額必須注意區(qū)分和正確使用各種不同的貨幣名稱符號?！?”既可代表“美元”，又可代表其他某些地方的貨幣；而“￡”不僅代表“英鎊”，又可代表其他某些地方的貨幣。必須注意：當金額用數(shù)字書寫時，金額數(shù)字必須緊靠貨幣符號，例如：Can $891,568，不能寫成：Can $ 891,568。另外，翻譯的還要特別注意金額中是小數(shù)點(.)還是分節(jié)號(,)，因為這兩個符號極易引起筆誤，稍有疏忽，其后果是不堪設想的。

第五篇：商務合同翻譯

? Tranlation of Business Contract

一、商務合同概述

? A contract is an agreement, which legally binds the parties concerned.? 在由Steven H.Gifts編著的“Law Dictionary”中，contract被定義為 “a promise, or a set

of promises, for breach of which the law gives remedy, or the performance of the which the law in some way recognize as a duty.”

? 合同是一種承諾，違反承諾可以得到法律救助，在某種意義上，法律將履行該承諾

看作是一種補償。綜上可見，合同是平等主體之間設立的確定民事權利和義務的法律協(xié)議。

? 合同英語屬于莊重文體（the frozen style），是各種英語文體中正式程度最高的一種。

總體來說，這種正式性體現(xiàn)在內(nèi)容的專業(yè)性、語言的嚴謹性和結(jié)構(gòu)的完整性等方面。合同種類

注意may、shall、should、will、may not、shall not等詞語的法律內(nèi)涵

? May、shall、should、will、may not、shall not等詞的確很常見，但是在合同中這些

詞具有特殊的意義，所以翻譯起來要極其謹慎，避免引起糾紛。

a.May：在表示合同上的權利（Right）、權限（Power）或特權（Privilege）的場合中

使用。若表示某種權利在法律上具有強制性的時候，更多的是“be entitled”。

b.Shall：在合同中并不是單純的將來時，一般用它來表示法律上可以強制執(zhí)行的義務

（Obligation）。如未履行，即視為違約，并構(gòu)成某種賠償責任。所以，shall在譯文里，通常

表示“應該”或“必須”，當然，也有不翻譯的時候。例如：

? The quality and prices of the commodities to be exchanged between the ex-importers in

the two countries shall be acceptable to both sides.? 貨物的質(zhì)量和價格必須使進出口雙方都能接受。

? The formation of this contract, its validity, interpretation, execution and settlement of

the disputes shall be governed by related laws of the People’s Republic of China.? 本合同的訂立、效力、解釋、履行和爭議的解決均受中華人民共和國法律的管轄。

shall沒有譯出。

c.Should：在合同中通常只用來表示語氣較弱的假設，多翻譯成“萬一”或“如果”，極少譯成“應該”。

? The board meeting shall be convened and presided over by the Chairman.Should the

chairman be absent, the vice-Chairman shall, in principle, convene and preside over the

board meeting.? 董事會會議應由董事長召集、主持；若董事長缺席，原則上應由副董事長召集、主

持。

? The parties hereto shall, first of all, settle any dispute arising from or in connection with

the contract by friendly negotiations.Should such negotiations fail, such dispute may be

referred to the People's Court having jurisdiction on such dispute for settlement in the

absence of any arbitration clause in the disputed contract or in default of agreement

reached after such dispute occurs.? 雙方首先應通過友好協(xié)商，解決因合同而發(fā)生的或與合同有關的爭議。如果協(xié)商未

果，合同中又無仲裁條款約定或爭議發(fā)生后未就仲裁達成協(xié)議的，可將爭議提交有

管轄權的人民法院解決。

d.Will：一般使用在沒有法律強制的情況下，也用做表示承擔義務的聲明，但語氣和

強制力比Shall弱。

e.May not（或shall not）：用于禁止性義務，即“不得做什么”。

? 6.Terminology

?cause of action案由defendant 被告appeal 上訴

? damages損失，賠償金force majeure不可抗力 …

Indemnity n.a promise to protect someone from money lost or goods damaged;賠償?shù)谋ＷC

repayment for this；賠償金

An insurance contract that promises to pay for the replacement or repair of lost of

damaged goods賠償物

e.g.to arrange an ~ against loss辦理損失賠償

to demand an ~ for the delayed payment因延期付款要求賠償

Money demanded by a victorious nation at the end of awar as a condition of peace is an ~.戰(zhàn)爭結(jié)束時，戰(zhàn)勝國作為和平條件索取之款項稱為“賠款”。

Infringement: violation n.違反；違背；侵犯；侵害

Force majeure: an unexpected and unavoidable event that causes or allows a contract to

be changed or cancelled if it has a force majeure clause.e.g.As a result of force majeure the transaction was not completed.基于不可抗力的因素，交易未能完成。

Arbitration : the settling of a dispute by means of a neutral third party rather than by a

court of law.仲裁（通過中立的第三方不通過法庭解決糾紛）

e.g.They decided to settle the dispute by ~.他們決定通過仲裁解決爭議。

Translation requirements

?1.Adequate & precise

?Eg.Unless it is legally or physically impossible, the contractor shall execute and

complete the works and remedy the defects therein in strict accordance with the

contract to the satisfaction of the engineer.?除法律或條件不允許的情況之外，承包方應嚴格按合同施工和竣工，并改進工作中的任何缺陷，達到工程師滿意的程度。

?Party A shall send technicians atParty B’s expense to train Party B’s personnel withindays after signing the Contract.? 甲方應于簽約后三十天內(nèi)派遣技術員培訓乙方的人員，有關費用由乙方承擔。

?This Contract can only be altered, amended or supplemented in accordance with

documents signed and sealed by authorized representatives of both parties.?本合同的修改補充應有雙方授權代表簽名蓋章的文件，才能進行

?合營企業(yè)的一切活動應遵守中華人民共和國法律、法令和有關條例規(guī)定。

?A term of criminal detention shall not be less than 15 days and no more than 6 months.2、expressiveness & smoothness

?合同文本是一種法律文件，屬于莊嚴性文體。翻譯商務合同時還應該把規(guī)范通

順視為另一大原則。所謂“規(guī)范”，是指譯文必須符合法律語言的特點，盡量體現(xiàn)出

契約文體的特點。而所謂“通順”，是指譯文應當符合漢語的語法要求，使譯文清晰

易懂。

? During the period from the date of effectiveness to the termination of the Contract, the

two Parties shall hold a meeting very year to discuss problems arising form the execution

of the Contract.原譯：在合同生效之日起到合同終止之日的期間內(nèi)，雙方每年舉行一次會議，討論合同

發(fā)行中出現(xiàn)的問題。

? 原文在理解上沒有什么特別困難的地方，譯文意思也算正確，但只對原文逐字逐句

翻譯，顯得呆板，改譯為：

? 本合同有效期間，雙方應每年正式會晤一次，以討論本合同履行期間存在的問題。

? The date of Bill of Lading shall be taken as the conclusive proof of the date of shipment,six(6)days grace shall be allowed for shipment earlier or later than the time agreed

upon by the Parties.In the event of the goods for one order being shipped in more than

one lot, each lot shall be deemed to be a separate sale on Contract.? 原譯：提單的日期應為交貨日期的最后證明。雙方允許交貨比約定的時間早交或遲

交六天。一次訂貨多于一批裝運，那么，每批貨應被當作是合同的單獨買賣。

? 原譯文表達累贅，結(jié)構(gòu)松散，不合乎漢語契約文體的簡約風格。改譯為：

? 交貨日期以提單所載日期為準，雙方同意在合同約定的交貨期的基礎上，允許有前

后六天的裝運寬限期。若一次訂貨分批裝運，則每一批貨為合同項下的單獨 買賣。

? One-third of the total amount shall be paid with the order when the Contract is signed,one third by documentary bill when shipment is effected, and the balance by clean bills

when the goods have arrived.? 合同簽訂時先預付貨款總額的三分之一，裝船后憑跟單匯票再付三分之一，剩余的三分之一在貨物抵達時憑光票一次性付清。

? 譯文充分利用添加的橫線部分充分表明了原條款的三個付款階段：交貨前、交貨時、交貨后，使得層次清楚，表達通順。
