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
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https://www.360docs.net/doc/f45309188.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。

商务合同英文翻译注意事项(实例讲解)
商务合同英译的注意事项(实例版) 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、where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 Builder. 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 appropriate 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 instruction sshipping advice是“装运通知”，是由出口商(卖主)发给进口商(买主)的。然而shipping instructions则是“装运须知”，是进口商(买主)发给出口商(卖主)的。另外要注意区分 vendor(卖主)与vendee(买主)，consignor(发货人)与consignee(收货人)。上述这三对词语在英译时、极易发生笔误。 2.2abide by与comply with

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.

合同翻译(一)
合同翻译（一） 英文合同翻译的用词特点：合同英语的用词极其考究，具有特定性。要求选词专业化（professional）、正式（formal）、准确（accurate）。具体体现在下列方面： 1．使用情态动词： 在合同中使用may，shall，must，may not (或shall not) 时要极其谨慎。 权利义务的约定部分构成了合同的主体，这几个词如选用不当，可能会引起纠纷。 may旨在约定当事人的权利（可以做什么），shall 约定当事人的义务（应当做什么时候），must用于强制性义务（必须做什么），may not (或shall not)用于禁止性义务（不得做什么）。
may do不能说成can do，shall do不能说成should do或ought to do，may not do，在美国一些法律文件里可以用shall not，但绝不能用can not do或must not。 例如，在约定解决争议的途径时，可以说： 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.

China and India's State-Owned Reinsurers Adopt Divergent Strategies February 12, 2012 The state-owned reinsurers of China and India have traveled different paths to expansion. With its recent investment in a Lloyd's syndicate, China Reinsurance Group is mapping an international course that leads to Europe, the Americas and Africa. In the year ahead, market observers expect the Chinese reinsurer to be more competitive and to "look outward" more than its Indian counterpart, with sufficient capital reserves and regulatory supports following its first overseas strategic partnership. China Reinsurance (Group) Corp. started operating a special-purpose Lloyd's syndicate this year by forming a strategic partnership with U.K.-based Catlin Group Ltd. to write reinsurance cover for an existing Catlin syndicate. The Chinese state-owned reinsurer earlier said it and Catlin would provide capital for Syndicate 2088, which will have a stamp capacity of about 50 million pounds (US$78.7 million). "As the biggest reinsurance company in China, China Re's strategy is to grow both in the home market and abroad, and to have a greater involvement in international markets," said Chairman Peiyu Li. Setting up Syndicate 2088 and the alliance with Catlin will be a "milestone" in China Re's international strategy, while the new venture will help the reinsurer to gain a better knowledge of Lloyd's and benefit from its worldwide network (Best's News Service, Nov. 8, 2011). It will also increase the company's experience of international reinsurance operations and management and help build a foundation for China Re to grow into an important player in the world reinsurance market, said Li. The company intends to continue its "internationalization" growth strategy by gradually setting up overseas representative offices and branches, and seeks to become a medium-size international reinsurer by 2015 (Best's News Service, Aug. 9, 2011). China Re's plan is to "focus on Asian market growth, with steady business participation in Europe and America, while gradually developing emerging markets like Latin America and Africa by leveraging on its strong capital base and positive international credit ratings," Li said. Currently, about two-thirds of China Re's international business is generated from traditional Asian markets, while the remaining one-third comes from mature markets like Europe and America. This compares with other regional reinsurers, such as Korean Re's business ratios of 43% from Asia and 23% from Europe and America; as well as Japan-based Toa Re's 24% from Asia and 74% from Europe and America, noted the Chinese reinsurer.
