外贸英语合同中频繁使用的特殊用语
外贸英语中有一些使用十分频繁的词汇很容易被误译,原因是商务英语中相同的单词在不同情况下具有不同的含义。下面和小编一起看一下商务英语合同中频繁使用的特殊用语吧!
一、whereas 鉴于
正式而重要的合同,尤其是英美法系的合同,多用它在前文中引出签约背景和目的,起连词作用:
whereas the employer is desirous that manpower can be rendered available for the construction of high-rise residential complex in baghdad, iraq;
鉴于雇主欲请劳动力建造伊拉克巴格达的高层住宅综合大楼;
whereas the contractor is desirous to provide the manpower for the works;
鉴于承包人想为此工程提供劳动力;
二、witness 证明
在合同前文中常用作首句的谓语动词:
this agreement, made by
witnesses
whereas……, it is agreed as follows:
本协议由……签订证明:鉴于……特此达成协议如下:
in witness whereof 作为所协议事项的证据,该短语常用于合同的结尾条款:
in witness whereof, the parties have executed this contract in duplicate by their duly authorized representatives on the date first above written.
作为所协议事项的证据,双方授权代表于上面首次写明的日期正式签订本协议一式两份。
三、in consideration of 以……为约因
/报酬
约因是英美法系的合同有效成立要件之一,没有则合同不能依法强制履行。但是,大陆法系的合同则无此规定。
now therefore, in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein, contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
兹以上述各点和契约所载条款为约因,订约双方协议如下:
in consideration of the payment to be made by party a to party b, party b hereby covenants with party a to complete the building in conformity with the provisions of the contract.
乙方特此立约向甲方保证按合同规定完成工程建设,以取得甲方所付的报酬。
四、now,therefore 兹特
此短语用于whereas条款之后引出具体协议事项的常用开头语,并与其后hereby的结合。如果无hereas条款,则本短语可省略:
now, therefore, it’s hereby agreed and understood as follows;
兹特协议和谅解如下:
now these presents witness 兹特立约为据,本句话也是用于whereas条款之后引出具体协议事项。
五、presents = the present writings 是主语,witness是谓语:
now these presents witness that it is hereby agreed between the parties hereto as follows:兹特立约为据,并由订约双方协议如下:
六、in the presence of 见证人
本短语只在有见证人时使用—在订约双方当事人签名的下方由见证人签名作证,一般是相关的律师(attorney)或公证处(notary public):
in the presence of the parties hereto have hereunder set their respective hands and seals:
作为协议事项的证据,订约双方各自签名盖章如下:
其他短语
for and on behalf the first party(甲方代表):
the employer (雇主)
capacity (职位)
in the presence of (见证人)
capacity (职位)
address (地址)
for and on behalf of the second party(乙方代表):
the contractor (承包人)
capacity (职位)
in the presence of (见证人)
capacity (职位)
address (地址)
