英文合同常用词汇与句型
初步学习了英文合同的整体结构后，读者可能仍然觉得一头雾水，感觉不到对本合同结构从何处下手进行具体的解读。没有关系，读者只需要与大家一起继续阅读就会发现那些固定在英文合同结构中的术语原来都是如此的简单和易于理解。为什么呢？因为整个英文合同结构不过是一个个英文条款组成的而已，同时，其中还有大量的定型化的有很强规律可循的常用条款（即前文提到的通用条款“General Provision以及其他常见“Useful Provision ）。而且，构成这些条款的词汇、短语和句型也存在着很强的重复性。所以说掌握这些条款以及组成这些条款的常见句式和词汇，就成为攻克合同英语阅读的关键。如果读者把合同的结构比作人体的骨骼，那么这些通用及常用条款就是这些骨骼组合在一起的穴位与脉络。事实上，研究由这些条款组成的合同结构不但对高效阅读英文合同有帮助，而且对于英文合同起草能力的培养也是大有裨益的，因为这可以帮助读者在起草合同时达到结构的完整和健全，从而有效地避免合同漏洞。读者在掌握普通英语（比如通过大学英语四级考试）后进入到专业英语学习阶段时，首先遇到的障碍就是这些由平时不太熟悉的词汇与句型表达的专业含义。如果可以把英文合同结构比作“森林”，那么英文合同中常用的词汇与句型便是其中一类重要的“树木”。所以，重点研究这类专业表达的规律，是掌握英文合同阅读的一个重要技巧。本章中，读者将用两节内容训练读者对合同词汇和句型的掌握。第一节着重讲解，第二节着重练习。
第一节英文合同词汇与句型解析
法律英语难学，基本上是当代中国法律人的一个共识。难在何处呢？可能法律英语词汇的掌握就是第一只拦路虎。当我们打开英文合同时，经常会发现非常难以理解，即使是常用的合同条款中也充斥着大量的难以理解的词汇。例如下面这句话（在下文中将进一步解析）
“Limits on Indemnification. No indemnification is required under Section [insert the number of the Section in which Party B agrees to indemnify Party A] until the aggregate amount of Losses [plus Litigation Expenses] exceeds [$500,000], and then only for the amount by which the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses exceeds [$500,000]. 学”过法律英语的人都知道，这个句子实际上在法律英语句子中是比较短小和简单的一句，语法问题难不倒我们，难的是里面的几个关键的词汇，比如indemnification、indemnify 、Indemnifiable 、aggregate、Litigation 以及exceed如果我们知晓上面的列举的几个所谓法律英语词汇的含义分别是：补偿（名词）、补偿（动词）、补偿（形容词）、总计、诉讼、超出，那么本句就很容易理解。它的含义实际上就是指：
“补偿限额。只有损失总额（加上诉讼费用）超过（$500,000）时，才能根据第（插入乙方同意补偿甲方的条款编号）条要求补偿，此时也只对可补偿费用中超过（$500, 000）的部分进行补偿。”
除了生僻的词汇以外，我们还要注意大量的我们平时熟悉但不能按照普通英语含义理解的词汇。这样的词，我们称之为“熟词生义”。这些词汇的存在也是我们必须解决的一个
问题。比如，“abando这个词汇。大家都知道它的含义是放弃”，但在法律英语里它的常见含义却变成了“弃权”和“委付”，即：在一般的民事法律关系中，其可以被理解为“弃权”，在商事保险法律关系中，其可以理解为“委付（保险标的物发生推定全损时，由被保险人把保险标的物的所有权转让给保险人，并向保险人请求赔偿全部保险金）”。再比如“service，”大家对这个词非常熟悉，都知道它是“服务”的意思，但在法律英语中它的含义却被特定地引申成了送达”经常被用在与法律诉讼程序相关的表达上，比如“accept servicof the writ 即”可以理解为“对令状送达的接受”。
除了以上我们遇到的两类词汇外，还有一类法律英语专用词汇。它们基本上之出现在法律英语中，在其他地方根本见不到它们的身影。比如在法律文件中我们前文已经提到的大量像therein （在其中）、thereinafter （在下文中）、thereof
（其）、thereto （附随）、herewith （与此一道）、whereas （鉴于）、the nee （从那里）、aforesaid上述的）等词汇中，由here/there/where等表示方位的副词与
in/after/in/of/with 等介词连在一起构成的古旧英语。此外也会见到一些英语的外来词，比如拉丁词汇。我们知道在英国的法制史上，法律曾有一段是用拉丁文写就的。所以，不可避免的在当代英美法律文件中仍可以见到一些拉丁文身影。
具体到如何学习和记忆英文合同中的这些词汇和短语，笔者认为通过对英文合同中的短语和句子的理解和记忆是读者掌握战胜这只拦路虎的好方法。以下内容是笔者在实际工作中积累的一些最常见的合同英语表达，认真研究学习它们相信对读者会有帮助。1.开场白（合同的当事人背景介绍）
英文合同合同常用词
英文合同合同常用词 第一节合同常用词(Usual Wording)(1) 当大量接触英文合同，就会发现英文合同中有些词或短语出现的频率非常高，往往影响或决定了对 合同的准确理解，下面就分门别类从常见实词和常见虚词两个方面进行具体介绍： 一、英文合同常用虚词（Usual Function Words） 1．Here/there/where+介词构成的古体词 基本规则：Here 代表this，there 代表that，where 代表which 或what 即here/there/where+介词=介词 +this/that/which or what Hereby: by means of; by reason of this.特此，由此，兹等意。 例句：The Buyer hereby orders from the Seller the undermentioned goods
subject to the following conditions:买方向卖方订购下列商品，条件如下： Herein：in this。此中，于此。 例句：The minimum royalty herein specified shall be paid by Party B to Party A. 在此规定的最低特许权 使用费应由乙方付给甲方。 Hereinafter: later in the same Contract. 以下，在下文。通常与to be referred to as, referred as, called 连 用。 例句：This Agreement is made and concluded on ______, (date)____(year), by and between _____(hereinafter called Party A) on the one hand and _____(hereinafter called Party B) on the other hand. 本协议书于____年___月___日由_____（以下简称甲方）为一方，与_____(以下简称乙方)为另一方 签订。
中英文合同中常用词词义的选择
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

Most students admit to having learned in junior high school or in high school about writing business letters and about conventional formats1 for them．When it comes down to writing them，however，all too many students seem not to know how and to be unwilling2 to look up the forms （or perhaps they don't have a reference about using English）．This web page was prepared so that you would have an easily obtained description of what to do．When a business that has letterhead stationery3 writes a business letter，the first page of the letter uses paper with the printed letterhead and succeeding pages，if any，use matching quality and color sheets without the letterhead．A business with very good quality printing might generate the letterhead graphic4 with an image embedded5 in a word processor document．An individual normally won't use letterhead stationery and won't attempt to fake it．An attempt at letterhead that produces a tacky result or that conveys pompousness6 produces effects that you want to avoid．In a business letter，everything that you "type" should be in the same typeface and in the same font size．You should use "formal English" and you should very carefully check your grammar and spelling．You should arrange things neatly8．You should consider the appearance of the letter "at arm's length" as well as close up －－use white space to produce an attractive sheet．In a conventional business letter you should see these parts，in order top to bottom： A return addressThis item is the postal9 address of the author of the letter．Each line of it is left justified10－－either at a tab stop that puts the information toward the right side of the page or at the left margin11．Normally the return address is at the top of the page，but you can move it down a little to improve over－all appearance．Do not put email addresses here －－if you need to convey an email address，do it in the body of the letter．The dateThis item is the date of the letter．It is aligned12 with the return address．Formerly13 there was never whitespace （blank lines）between the return address and the date，but some current styles allow blank lines．An inside addressThis item duplicates what goes on the envelope．It has the formal name of the intended recipient14 of the letter and that person's postal address．Each line of the inside address is left justified at the left margin．No email addresses appear here．You can put blank lines between the date and the inside address to fill the page better and to improve the "arm's length" appearance．A salutationThis item formally addresses the recipient．If the addressee is not a friend，you should write "Dear Mr．Brown：" or "Dear Mrs．Smith：" or "Dear Ms．Jones：" or "Dear Dr．Greene：" or the like．A letter to a close associate might say "Dear Mike：" or "Dear Sally："．There is at least one line of white space between the inside address and the salutation．You can put a little more to improve the over－all appearance．Before the days of political correctness a letter to an organization would begin "Dear Sir：" or "Dear Sirs：" or "Gentlemen：" －－for example，if the envelope were addressed "Personnel Director，XYZ Company，City，State" you might do this．These days you should probably make an effort to get a name，but．．．The body of
