8、主）發(fā)給進(jìn)口商（買(mǎi)主）的。shipping instructions “裝運(yùn)須知”，是進(jìn)口商（買(mǎi)主）發(fā)給出口商（賣(mài)主）的。abide by 與 comply withabide by 與 comply with 都有“遵守”的意思。當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是“人”時(shí)，英譯“遵守”須用 abide by。當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是非人稱(chēng)時(shí)，則用 comply with。 如： 1）合營(yíng)公司全體員工都應(yīng)遵守項(xiàng)目所在國(guó)的法律、法令和有關(guān)條例規(guī)定。All the personnel of the Joint Venture Company shall abide by the laws, decrees and relevant reg

9、ulations of the project country.2）雙方的一切活動(dòng)都應(yīng)遵守項(xiàng)目所在國(guó)的法律、法令和有關(guān)條例規(guī)定。All the activities of both parties shall comply with the laws, decrees and relevant regulations of the project country.ex 與 per 源自拉丁語(yǔ)的介詞 ex 與 per 有各自不同的含義。英譯:由某輪船“運(yùn)來(lái)”的貨物,用 ex由某輪船“運(yùn)走”的貨物,用 per而由某輪船“承運(yùn)”用 by 例：由“維多利亞”輪運(yùn)走/運(yùn)來(lái)/承運(yùn)的最后一批貨將于 10 月

10、 1 日抵達(dá)倫敦The last batch per/ex/by S.S. "Victoria" will arrive at London on October 1. in 與 after當(dāng)英譯“多少天之后”的時(shí)間時(shí)，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?yàn)榻樵~ after 指的是“多少天之后”的不確切的任何一天。 "after ten month"指過(guò)了10個(gè)月后的任意一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)例：該貨于 11 月 10 日由“東風(fēng)”輪運(yùn)出，40天后抵達(dá)鹿特丹港。The goods shall be shipped per

11、 M.V. "Dong Feng" on November 10 and are due to arrive at Rotterdam in 40 days. by 與 before當(dāng)英譯終止時(shí)間時(shí)，比如“在某月某日之前”，如果包括所寫(xiě)日期時(shí)，用介詞 by；如果不包括所寫(xiě)日期，用介詞 before。 例：賣(mài)方須在 6 月 15 日前將貨交給買(mǎi)方。(含 6 月 15 日)The seller shall deliver the goods to the buyer by June 15 (.before June 16). 如果不含 6 月 15 日呢？譯為 by June

12、14 或者 before June 15 三、慎重處理合同的關(guān)鍵細(xì)目 1.限定責(zé)任 合同中要明確規(guī)定雙方的責(zé)任。為英譯出雙方責(zé)任的權(quán)限與范圍，常常使用連詞和介詞的固定結(jié)構(gòu)。用and/or 英譯合同中“甲和乙+甲或乙”的內(nèi)容，可避免漏譯其中的一部分。 例：如果上述貨物對(duì)船舶和（或）船上其它貨物造成任何損害，托運(yùn)人應(yīng)負(fù)全責(zé)。The shipper shall be liable for all damage caused by such goods to the ship and/or cargo on board. by and between常用 by and between 強(qiáng)調(diào)合同是由“雙

13、方”簽訂的，因此雙方必須嚴(yán)格履行合同所賦予的責(zé)任。 例：買(mǎi)賣(mài)雙方同意按下述條款購(gòu)買(mǎi)出售下列商品并簽訂本合同。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 under-mentioned commodity subject to the terms and conditions stipulated below. 限定時(shí)間英譯與時(shí)間有關(guān)的文字，都應(yīng)非常嚴(yán)格慎重地處理，因?yàn)楹贤瑢?duì)時(shí)間的要求

14、是準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤。所以英譯起止時(shí)間時(shí)，常用以下結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)限定準(zhǔn)確的時(shí)間。 雙介詞用雙介詞英譯含當(dāng)天日期在內(nèi)的起止時(shí)間。 自9月20日起，甲方已無(wú)權(quán)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.我公司的條件是，3個(gè)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. not(no)later than用“not (no

15、) later than +日期”英譯“不遲于某月某日”。 本合同簽字之日一個(gè)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. include 的相應(yīng)形式常用 include 的相應(yīng)形式：inclusive、including 和 included，來(lái)限定含當(dāng)日在內(nèi)的時(shí)間。 本證在北京議付，有效期至 1 月 1 日。This credit expires ti

16、ll January 1 (inclusive) for negotiation in Beijing. 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.限定金額為避免金額數(shù)量的差錯(cuò)、偽造或涂改，英譯時(shí)常用大寫(xiě)文字重復(fù)金額、正確使用貨幣符號(hào) 。英譯金額須在小寫(xiě)之后，在括號(hào)內(nèi)用大寫(xiě)文字重復(fù)該金額，即使原文合同中沒(méi)有大寫(xiě)，英譯時(shí)也有必要加上大寫(xiě)。在大寫(xiě)文字前加上“SAY”，意為“大寫(xiě)”

17、；在最后加上“ONLY”意思為“整”。必須注意：小寫(xiě)與大寫(xiě)的金額數(shù)量要一致 合同總值為14,550英鎊。The total contract value is GBP14,550 (Say Pounds Sterling Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Only). 正確使用貨幣符號(hào)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(chēng)符號(hào)?！?”既可代表“美元”，又可代表其它某些地方的貨幣；而“”不僅代表“英鎊”，又可代表其它某些地方的貨幣。 N 注意：當(dāng)金額用數(shù)字書(shū)寫(xiě)時(shí)，金額數(shù)字必須緊靠貨幣符號(hào)，例如：Can$891,568.00，不能寫(xiě)成：Ca

18、n$ 891,568NOTES法律文書(shū)的語(yǔ)言特色一、多用正式或法律上的用詞；二、多用shall代替will或should加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣和強(qiáng) 制力三、用語(yǔ)力求嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，明白無(wú)誤；四、多用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，少用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)；五、多用現(xiàn)在時(shí)，少用將來(lái)時(shí)，盡管很多條 款規(guī)定的是合同簽訂以后的事項(xiàng)一、多用正式或法律上的用詞例如： At the request of Party B, Party A agrees to send technicians to assist Party B to install the equipment.應(yīng)乙方要求，甲方同意派遣技術(shù)人員幫助乙方安裝設(shè)備。assist 較 help 正式This

20、詞assign 較 transfer 正式二、多用shall代替will或should加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣和強(qiáng)制力合同中，shall并非單純表示將來(lái)時(shí)，而常用來(lái)表示法律上可強(qiáng)制執(zhí)行的義務(wù)，具有約束力，宜譯為“應(yīng)”、“應(yīng)該”、“必須”； will無(wú)論語(yǔ)氣還是強(qiáng)制力要比shall弱，宜譯為“將”、“原”、“要”；should通常只用來(lái)表示語(yǔ)氣較強(qiáng)的假設(shè)、比如“萬(wàn)一”。 例This Contract shall become effective upon and from the date on which it is signed.本合同簽字生效。This Contract shall be written
