As合同英语中as出现的频率极高,而且用法灵活多变,是典型的自由人。在某种意义上讲,as使用的熟练程度可以衡量合同英语的造诣。具体用法和含义见以下实例:l As 放在代表规定的provide,stipulate,set forth,prescribe等词的过去分词前,含义为“依照某某规定”。例1:For purpose of this, Capital Account shall be adjusted hypothetically as provided for in Section 4.6 herein.基于此,应依照本合同第四条第六款调整资金账户。例2:based on their respective Venture interests as set forth in Section 5.2 hereof. 基于本合同第五条第二款规定的各方在合资公司中的权益。l 另有Except as otherwise provided结构,表示“除非本文/某条款另有规定”。例句:Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices or demands sent by registered airmail shall be deemed received 8 days after they have been sent and notices or demands sent by telex shall be deemed received at the time of the dispatch thereof.除非本合同另有规定,所有通知和请求以航空挂号信寄出则发出后8日应视为送达收悉,以电传方式发出则在发送时视为收悉。来源:(http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_516690e9010091ky.html) - 英文合同解读(五)_kevin_新浪博客 l As构成as the case may be(视具体情况而定), as the case may require(视具体要求而定)和 as the Venturers may determine等短语。例句:The Venture may relocate its office from time to time or have additional offices as the Venturers may determine.该合资公司视投资者决策,可随时迁址或增添营业场所。l As构成as of the date of ____ (date) 短语是英语合同中表示“自某年某月某日起”最正式的表达。例句:In witness whereof, the parties have caused this instrument to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written. 合同双方签订本文件,该文件自以上书就日期即时生效,特此为证。l As还用在as soon as practical短语中,意义用法相当于as soon as possible.例句:During the Employment Period, the Company agrees that it shall recommend to the Board the election of the Employee as a Director of the Company on the Commencement Date or as soon as practical thereafter. 本公司同意在聘用期间,应自本协议开始或其后尽早的时间向董事会推选受聘方为本公司董事。As与 such连用是英文合同中一大特色,参看本书第二章第三节部分,在此不在赘述。5. foregoing, aforesaid, the said, aforementioned, above-mentioned, in questionl Foregoing, aforesaid, the said, aforementioned, above-mentioned一族,一般放在名词前作限定,意为“前述的”或“上述的”,为避免重复已经提到的姓名或名称。例1:The Bank shall give prompt written or telex notice to the Borrower of the Interest Rate in effect from time to time in accordance with the foregoing sentence.本银行将根据前述的句子以书面或电传形式随时及时通知借款方生效的利率。例2:The contract shall be written in Chinese and in ____________. Both language versions are equally authentic. In the event of any discrepancy between the two aforementioned versions, the Chinese version shall prevail.本合同应以中文和_文书就,具同等法律效力。前述两种文本如有歧异,以中文文本为准。l In question: under consideration; being talk about.通常表示“在考虑或讨论中的”某件事或某个问题,可译为“这”或“该”问题。例句:All prices to be paid by the Buyer under its obligations of the buyback/counter-purchase Contract shall be the world market prices taking into account the other delivery terms for the goods in question.买方根据返销或回购货物合同的义务所支付的价格应为世界市场价格,结合考虑该货物的其他交货条件。6. follows, as below, the following这一族都表示“下列”,一般放在动词后,而the following作为“下列”在英文合同中用的较少。这样的例子俯手皆是,恐怕每个英文合同都少不了的。NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows;为此,双方达成契约,约定如下:NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as below.为此,双方约定如下:Now therefore, in consideration of the premises and covenants described hereinafter, Party A and Party B 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: 7. according to, under, subject to, in accordance with, as per, as provided in, pursuant to, in compliance with这一族都表示“依照,根据”合同的约定或者法律的规定。其中尤以“according to”最不正式,自然用的最少了,而“in accordance with”最为常见。例如:In case no settlement can be reached, the case may then be submitted for arbitration to China International Economic And Trade Arbitration Commission in accordance with the provisional Rules of Procedures promulgated by the said Arbitration Commission.如未能达成和解,该案件可提交中国国际贸易仲裁委员会根据该仲裁委员会颁布的仲裁程序暂行规定进行仲裁。又如:A Photostat copy of the Acceptance Certificate of the Contract Plant signed by the representatives of both parties as per Chapter 9 of the present Contract.该合同设备的验收证书的影印副本由双方代表按照该合同第九章签收。再如:Both Parties shall each contribute their paid in capital in compliance with the items specified in the appendix to the Contract.合同双方应按照本合同附件中载明的项目进行出资。8. Including but not limited to与including, without limitation以及including by way of illustration but not limitation英文合同表达“包括但不限于”时,就会用到这几个短语。例如:The time for the performance of the Seller’s obligations set forth in this Contract shall be automatically extended for a period equal to the duration of any nonperformance arising directly or indirectly from Force Majeure events including but not limited to fire, flood, earthquake, typhoon, natural catastrophe, and all other contingencies and circumstances whatsoever beyond the Seller’s reasonable control preventing, hindering or interfering with the performance thereof.本合同规定卖方履行义务的时间应自动延长等同于由于直接或间接由于不可抗力事件导致的不能履行的期间。不可抗力事件包括但不限于火灾、洪水、地震、台风、自然灾害和卖方无论怎样也无法合理控制的阻止、妨碍、干扰本合同履行的其他风险和情形。9. prior to, no later than, on or before,on and afterprior to, on or before,no later than, on or after常用在英文合同中限定日期,prior to表示“某日之前,提前多少日”。on or before, no(not) later than,表示“不迟于”,On and after表示“从某日起”。例如:Party A shall be unauthorized to accept any order sort to collect any account on and after September 20. 自9月2O日起,甲方已无权接受任何定单或收据。例如:Our terms are cash within three months, i.e. on or before May 1.我公司的条件是,3个月内,即不得晚于5月1日,支付现金。例如: Party B shall ship the goods within one month of the date of signing this Contract, i.e. not later than December.本合同签字之日一个月内,即不迟于12月15日,你方须将货物装船。例如:10-15 days prior to the date of shipment, the Buyer shall inform the Seller by cable or telex of the contract number, name of vessel, ETA of vessel, quantity to be loaded and the name of shipping agent, so as to enable the Seller to contact the shipping agent direct and arrange the shipment of the goods.装运前10天到15天,买方应以电报或电传方式通知卖方合同编号、装运船名,预计到达时间,装载数量和承运代理商名称,以便能使卖方直接联系承运代理商安排货物装运。此外,为限定时间更为明确,还常用inclusive、including和included,来限定含当日在内的时间。例如: This credit expires till January1 (inclusive) for negotiation in Beijing. (or:This credit expires till and including January1 for negotiation in Beijing.) 本证在北京议付,有效期至1月1日。如果不包括1月1日在内,则为till and not including January 1。10.Without prejudice toWithout prejudice to,常用于英文合同中,表示在“不损害某规定/情况下”。例如:The Buyer shall nevertheless have the right to cancel in part or in whole of the contract without prejudice to the Buyer’s right to claim compensations.不妨害买方索赔权,买方仍有权取消合同的部分或全部。11.Attributable to, due to, owing to, by virtue of, in view of, because of, on account of,considering, in consideration of这一组短语出现在英文合同中都表示“因为”,其中due to,owing to,because of较不正式,很少使用。
第四章 英语合同的常用句型(Sentence Patterns) 一、in the event that(短语为in the event of), in case(短语为in case of), providing(that), provided(that), on the conditions that, if(if and whenever), where, in so far as(insofar as), should, suppose/supposing(that)在英文合同中,以上这些词常用来引导条件从句表示“如果、假如”等情形,至于基础英语中常用的“as long as”在英文合同非常鲜见。如:In the event that the Contract Price or any other terms of the Contract changes after the issuance of the Letter of Credit (or Letter of Guarantee) the Owner shall arrange for such Letter to be amended accordingly as soon as possible after any such changes.如果在信用证(或保函)开出后,合同总价或合同其他条款发生变化,业主应尽快安排对信用证(或保函)进行相应的修改。如:In case part of or all know-how of the above-mentioned technical contents have been published by Party B or Third Parties A obtains evidence of such publication, then Party A shall no longer be responsible for keeping secret and confidential the part already published.如上述专有技术的一部分或全部已由第三方公布,而甲方也掌握了已公布的证据,则甲方不再承担保密义务。如:15% of the above contract price, e.g. US $ 21, 000. 00 shall be paid by Party A to Party B by M/T within 30 days after Party A has received from Party B the following technical documentations and documents and providing that they are in conformity with the contract:甲方从乙方处收到以下技术资料和文件后30天内应信汇乙方上述合同总价的百分之十五,也就是两万一千美元,但该技术资料和文件应符合本合同要求。如:Either party may at anytime replace the chairman, deputy chairman or director(s) it has appointed, provided that it gives written notice to the Joint Venture Company and the other party.任何一方可随时更换自己委派的董事长、副董事长或董事,但必须书面通知合资公司和合资的另一方。需要注意的是,provided that通常语气上有转折的含义,不宜翻译为“假如,如果”,译为“但是”,则译文过渡自然,符合汉语表达的规范。Should the seller make delivery on time as stipulated in the Contract with the exception of Force Majeure specified in Clause18 to this contract, the Buyer shall agree to postpone the delivery on condition that the Seller agree to pay a penalty which shall be deducted by the paying bank from the payment under negotiation.如果卖方并非因本合同第18条规定的不可抗力事件而未按合同规定的期限交货,那么,只要卖方同意支付罚金,并由付款行从议付款中扣除,买方便同意卖方延期交货。句中出现两处条件从句,should引导的从句属于非真实条件句,即虚拟语气,表示该条件发生的可能性很小,也就是说是当事人不希望出现的不利情况。而on condition that引导的条件从句,往往表示只要某情况出现,就如何如何。Notwithstanding the completion of the sale and purchase of the __ ordinary shares in the Company, the terms and conditions of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect as between the parties hereto in so far as the same are not fulfilled.即使买卖公司*股普通股已经结束,只要该行为尚未履行完毕,本协议条款对双方仍然完全有效。In all cases where Licensee desires artwork involving articles which are the subject of this license to be executed, the cost of such artwork and the time for the production thereof shall be borne by Licensee.如果被许可方需要的工艺品涉及本许可将履行的标的,则该工艺品的费用和生产该工艺品的时耗应由被许可方承担。As an example, suppose that Stamps.com has a partnership agreement with a company called "Internet Marketing". In this example, "Partner Name" would be "InternetMarketing".试举一例,如果Stamp.com公司与一家名叫Internet Marketing的公司有一合伙协议。本例中,该“合伙名称就是“InternetMaketing”。If and whenever the attorney at law designated by Party B comes to work with Party A, Party A shall offer all sufficient and necessary facilities, arrange the said legal counsel with an office, appoint a company officer to assist legal counsel with his function, provide relevant information and writ and print legal draft for such legal counsel.乙方律师到甲方工作时,甲方应充分给予安排,安排法律顾问办公场所,选派干部协助律师工作,提供有关情况,缮写打印稿件等。相关链接:in no case, in no event, in the case of,in any case等。in no case和in no event表示“决不”即无论怎样都不行。例如:Vessel over 20 years of age shall in no event be acceptable to the Buyer.船龄超过20年的买方概不接受。In the case of 就什么来说,关于,in any case 无论如何例如:In the case of dangerous and/or poisonous cargo (es), the Seller is obliged to take care to ensure that the nature and the generally adopted symbol shall be marked conspicuously on each package.关于危险或有毒货物,卖方有义务照管确保其属性安全且应在每一包装上标注通常采用的标识。
