注意may、shall、should、will、may not、shall not等詞語的法律內涵

? 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行的義務

（Obligation）。如未履行，即視為違約，并構成某種賠償責任。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商，解決因合同而發生的或與合同有關的爭議。如果協商未

果，合同中又無仲裁條款約定或爭議發生后未就仲裁達成協議的，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;賠償的保證

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 ~.戰爭結束時，戰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、法令和有關條例規定。

?All the activities of the joint venture, shall comply with the provision of the laws,decrees and pertinent regulations of the Republic of China.? 拘役的期限，為十五日以上六個月以下。

?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范通

順視為另一大原則。所謂“規范”，是指譯文必須符合法律語言的特點，盡量體現出

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，雙方每年舉行一次會議，討論合同

發行中出現的問題。

? 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，結構松散，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

第四篇：商務合同的翻譯

商務合同的翻譯

一、定義

商務合同是指平等的民事主體之間關于建立、變更和終止民事權利和義務，形成具有法律效力且受法律保護的協議。英語國際商務合同屬于公文文體中的法律文書范疇，都是書面語，其特點是嚴肅、正規，行文一般以明確為第一旨，力戒含混隱晦。

二、詞匯特征

1.正式詞匯的使用

由于商務合同屬于法律公文，為了顯示其規范性、約束力和莊嚴性，商務合同經常選用正式、嚴肅的詞或詞組。例如，商務合同經常使用“expire”而非“end”表示“期滿”；用“commence”而非“begin”表示“開始”；用“pertaining to”而非“about”表示“關于/涉及”；用“prior to”而非“before”表示“在…之前”；用“In the event that/in case”而不用“if”表示“如果”等。在翻譯商務合同時，必須盡量選擇正式、嚴肅的中文詞匯以使譯文和原文在用詞方面做到功能對等。

2.專業術語的使用

專業術語一般都是名詞或名詞性詞組。由于英文商務合同涉及各行各業，因此經常使用大量的專業術語。例如，法律專業術語：arbitration(仲裁)，litigation practice(訴訟業務)，bill of complaint(訴狀)，without recourse(無追索權)等。財經類專業術語如：financial statement(財務報表)，factoring(保理)，auditing(審計)，acceptance(承兌)，collection(托收)等。為了準確地翻譯出專業術語，譯員不僅要有翻譯專業術語的基本技巧，還要有必備的工具書和扎實的學科專業基礎知識。像上述“acceptance”和“collection”這兩個詞，在專業語境中如翻譯成“接受”和“收集”，將是十分粗心和不負責任的。因此，在翻譯專業術語時，譯員必須做到專業術語學科信息對等并使譯文符合行規。

3.由here／there／where+介詞構成的詞的使用

商務合同往往大量使用由here／there／where+介詞構成的英語。為了使文體功能對等，譯員必須盡量把這類法律文書文體譯成漢語的法律公文體。例如，“hereafter”譯為“自此、今后”，“hereby”譯為“特此、茲”，“herein”譯為“此中，于此”，“hereinafter”譯為“在下文中”，“ hereof”譯為“在本文中、關于這點”，“ hereto”譯為“在此、于此”，“thereto”譯為“另外、隨附”“whereas”譯為“鑒于”，“whereof”譯為“茲特”等等。

4.縮略語的使用

在英文商務合同中，縮略詞的出現頻率相當高。這些縮略詞通常都是由幾個單詞的首字母構成，其意義單一固定，一般都用于國際貿易場合。使用縮略詞的優點在于，往往一個簡單的縮略詞就能對貿易過程中的各項要求進行清楚的說明，大大地提高了工作的效率。縮略詞一般根據國際商會的《國際貿易術語解釋通則2000》進行解釋。

三、句法特征

1.陳述句的使用

陳述句主要用于闡述、說明、解釋客觀事實。商務合同主要陳述和規定合同雙方的利益和義務以及涉及運輸、保險、付款方式等各方面的規定，因此一般都使用客觀平實的陳述句。在翻譯此類句型時，譯員必須采取相應的中文陳述句，使譯文和原文風格一致。

2.被動句的使用

由于商務合同是規定各方權利與義務的文書，文字敘述客觀公正，措辭嚴謹莊重，因而英文商務合同中較多地使用被動句，以體現合同文體的嚴謹性。英文商務合同中有關包裝、運輸、保險、付款方式、檢驗、爭議解決等條款大多采用被動句結構。在處理此類被動句時，可將其翻譯為主動句，以符合中文的行文習慣。

3.長句的使用

為了確定合同雙方的權利與義務，避免曲解、誤解或歧義，英文商務合同往往采取結構復雜的長句。在英文合同中，往往出現多個狀語從句和/或定義從句，或其它修飾成分，對主句的意義進行解釋或補充。鑒于英漢兩種語言的表達方式不同，在翻譯此類長句時，譯員不可直接翻譯成類似的漢語句型，而是適當切分句子，充分理解句子的意思，理清句子的層次和邏輯關系，找出句子的主干成分，然后再采取拆句、分譯、調整語序等翻譯方法對原句進行處理。例如：

“Vendor” shall mean the person to whom the Purchase Order is issued, who shall be deemed as an independent contractor and shall supply the Materials and/or perform the Works at its sole risk and account, and include its legal successors and/or assigns.在翻譯此句之前，首先要分析其句子結構。本句共有兩個定語，用于修飾“the person”，第一個為“to whom …issued”，第二個為“who shall be…assigns”，在第二個從句中，“who”作為主語擁有三個并列的謂語動詞分別為“shall be deemed”、“shall supply”和“include”，因此在翻譯時必須拆分句子，并適當添加主語。

譯文：“銷售商”系指采購訂單的接受人。銷售商必須被視作獨立的承包商，必須獨立承擔提供材料和/或實施工程的風險和費用。銷售商包括其合法接任者和/或代理人。

四、翻譯要點

1.通讀合同全文，把握合同主旨。

商務合同的種類繁多，包括貨物銷售合同、補償貿易、國際租賃合同、技術轉讓合同、商業用房租賃合同等。譯者在翻譯前應該徹底弄清合同表達的中心意思，是關于貨物銷售的、專利轉讓的、技術合作的，還是勞務合同的等。然后要全面掌握該方面的知識，把合同的每個條款的內涵摸清楚，找出條款間的聯系，由淺入深，仔細研讀。如最常用的Sales Contract（國際貨物銷售合同）肯定會包括Article No（貨號）、Description＆Specification（品名及規格）、Quantity（數量）、Unit Price（單價）、Terms of Payment（付款條件）等項條款。

2.規范用語，考慮措詞。

合同的翻譯不同于文學文體，它不講究文采，不要求修飾詞的渲染。它要求的是把“忠實嚴格”放在首位。商務合同屬于法律性公文，所以翻譯時，要慎重選詞，可以參考上下文及其合同性質，用專業術語，或約定俗成的規范用語，同一詞語如有多個意思，翻譯時在上下文中譯文要保持一致，以免發生歧義。

例如“The undersigned hereby agrees that the new products whereto this trade name is more appropriate are made in China”，句中The undersigned要譯為“下述簽署人”，全句譯文為：下述簽署人同意在中國制造新產品，其品牌以此為合適。

3.調整句子結構，合理組詞成句。

因為中英語言習慣的不同，直譯有時會讓上下文之間的關系不夠明確，語氣不太連貫，意思也不很清楚。遇到這種情況，可以分析一下原文，根據需要轉換主語、賓語、定語等各種句子成分，也可以通過上下文的照應把某些詞省略、補充或換序。

“The product fair will be held at the Standard Electrical Co.，New York，America with the Buyer’s representatives.”

譯文：買方代表將參加在美國紐約標準電氣公司舉行的產品博覽會。

五、實例分析

1.The Contract Products are, in their usual manner, used in buildings.XX shall therefore be liable for defects in the Contract Products for a period of 66(sixty-six)months with effect from the date of delivery and shall reimburse AAAA for all costs incurred related to this.譯文：合同產品是以常規方式用于建筑之中。在交貨之日起六十六個月內，如合同產品存在缺陷，XX方對其承擔責任，并應當賠償AAAA方所有與此相關發生的費用。

2.As regards technology, quality, price and delivery, the Contract Products must be at least equivalent to comparable products of competitors.Such a comparative product must meet AAAA’s requirements.譯文：至于技術、質量、價格和交貨等方面，合同產品必須至少與競爭對手的同類產品相當。這種同類產品必須滿足AAAA方的要求。

3.Given AAAA’s agreement, XX may propose products as an alternative which are comparable in technology, quality and price, taking account of the release

requirements.The costs of any renewed release which may be necessary shall be borne by XX.譯文：在得到AAAA方同意的前提下，考慮到發布要求，XX方可以提出在技術、質量和價格上相當的替代產品。任何必要的重新發布的費用由XX方承擔。

4.Alterations and supplements to this Corporate Agreement(including this

Section 23.1)must be made in writing.譯文：對于本公司協議的修改和補充（包括本節23.1）必須以書面形式進行。

5.This Corporate Agreement and all agreements under this Corporate Agreement and any disputes arising herefrom are subject to the laws of the People’s Republic of China excluding the conflict of laws provisions and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods(CISG).譯文：本公司協議及其項下的所有協議和由此產生的任何爭議，均受中華人共和國法律（沖突的法律條款除外）和《聯合國國際貨物銷售合同公約（CISG)》的管轄。

6.The assignment of rights and the transfer of duties under this Corporate

Agreement requires the prior written consent of the other party.譯文：本公司協議項下權利的轉讓和義務的轉移，需要得到另一方事先的書面同意。

7.The Chinese version of this Agreement shall be for convenience purposes only.In case of any inconsistencies, the English version shall prevail.譯文：本協議的中文版本僅為供方便。如有不一致，以英文版本為準。
