引子:鑒于現(xiàn)在對(duì)外交流事例逐漸增多,英文合同特別是經(jīng)濟(jì)合同的翻譯愈顯重要,若譯文不準(zhǔn)確或不嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),勢(shì)必會(huì)引起不必要的經(jīng)濟(jì)糾紛.故今以一英文(經(jīng)濟(jì))合同寫作書籍為藍(lán)本,錄入一些有益文字,希望大家共同提高英文(經(jīng)濟(jì))合同的翻譯和寫作。

合同文件是合同雙方簽訂并必須遵守的法律文件,因此合同中的語(yǔ)言應(yīng)體現(xiàn)其權(quán)威性.英文合同用語(yǔ)的特點(diǎn)之一就表現(xiàn)在用詞上,即選擇那些法律用詞,以及正式用詞,使合同表達(dá)的意思準(zhǔn)確無誤,達(dá)到雙方對(duì)合同中使用的詞無可爭(zhēng)議的程度。

一.hereby
英文釋義:by means of , by reason of this
中文譯詞:特此,因此,茲
用法:常用于法律文件、合同、協(xié)議書等正式文件的開頭語(yǔ)；在條款中需要強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)也可用。
語(yǔ)法：一般置于主語(yǔ)后,緊鄰主語(yǔ).
