商務(wù)合同翻譯1

商務(wù)合同翻譯目錄一、實際討論二、譯例分析三、佳譯欣賞四、翻譯實際一、實際討論廣義的合同，泛指一切確立權(quán)益義務(wù)關(guān)系的協(xié)議。它幾乎在各部門法中都有表現(xiàn)，如行政法律、法規(guī)、規(guī)章中就規(guī)定了一些行政合同。Generalizedcontract,referstoalltherightsandobligationsestablishedintheagreement.Itisalmostinallbranchesoflawinbothperformance,suchasadministrativelaw,regulationsandprovisionsinrespectofsomeadministrativecontract.狹義的合同那么僅指民法上的合同，又稱民事合同。合同法規(guī)定：“合同是平等主體的自然人、法人、其它組織之間設(shè)立、變卦、終止民事權(quán)益義務(wù)關(guān)系的協(xié)議。〞按照該條規(guī)定，凡民事主體之間設(shè)立、變卦、終止民事權(quán)益義務(wù)關(guān)系的協(xié)議都是合同。合同是一種協(xié)議，但合同不同于協(xié)議書。協(xié)議書能夠只是一種意向書，并不涉及雙方的詳細(xì)權(quán)益義務(wù)。Narrowsenserefersonlytocivillawcontractisacontract,alsoknownasacivilcontract.ContractLawstipulates:"thecontractisthesubjectofequalityofnaturalpersons,legalpersonsorotherorganizationstoestablish,changeorterminatecivilrightsandobligationsoftheagreement."Accordingtothissection,whereacivilentitiesestablish,changeorterminatecivilrightsandobligationsoftheagreementallcontract.Contractisanagreement,butthecontractisdifferentfromtheagreement.Agreementmaybejustaletterofintentdoesnotinvolvethespecificrightsandobligationsofbothparties.合同是平等主體的自然人、法人及其他組織之間設(shè)立、變卦、終止民事權(quán)益義務(wù)的意思表示一致的協(xié)議，是反映買賣的法律方式。Contractisthesubjectofequalitynaturalpersons,legalpersonsandotherorganizationstoestablish,changeorterminatecivilrightsandobligationsofthemeaningofthatunanimousagreementisareflectionofthelegalform.商務(wù)合同是指有關(guān)各方之間在進(jìn)展某種商務(wù)協(xié)作時，為了確定各自的權(quán)益和義務(wù)，而正式依法訂立的、并且經(jīng)過公證的、必需共同遵守的協(xié)議條文。OfCommercecontractbetweenthepartiesconcernedisperformingsomekindofbusinesscooperation,inordertodeterminetherespectiverightsandobligations,andenteredintoaformallaw,andnotarized,mustabidebytheprovisionsoftheagreement.商務(wù)合同作為現(xiàn)代文化的交流與經(jīng)濟協(xié)作的主要工具，運用與國際貿(mào)易和營銷等商務(wù)活動中為國際貿(mào)易提供書面記錄和根據(jù)的一種特殊英語文體，BusinesscontractsasamodernculturalexchangeandeconomiccooperationthemaintoolusedininternationaltradeandmarketingandotherbusinessactivitiesprovideawrittenrecordforinternationaltradeandisbasedonaspecialEnglishstyle。翻譯方法1.商務(wù)合同屬于法律性公文，所以英譯時，有些詞語要用公文語詞語、特別是酌情運用英語慣用的一套公文語副詞，就會起到使譯文構(gòu)造嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、邏輯嚴(yán)密、言簡意賅的作用。2.英文合同的翻譯要求的是忠實(Faithfulness)、準(zhǔn)確(Accuracy〕、完好〔Completeness〕、規(guī)范〔Expressiveness〕。思索到英文合同規(guī)范單一的篇章構(gòu)造，它的翻譯過程也和文學(xué)以及其他文體的翻譯過程不盡一樣，可以將其概括為：分析→了解→表達(dá)→校正。3.謹(jǐn)慎選用極易混淆的詞語

英譯商務(wù)合同時，經(jīng)常由于選同不當(dāng)而尋致詞不達(dá)意或者意思模棱兩可，有時甚至表達(dá)的是完全不同的含義。因此了解與掌握極易混淆的詞語的區(qū)別是極為重要的。如：

shippingadvice與shippinginstructions

shippingadvice。shippingadvice是“裝運通知〞，是由出口商〔賣主〕發(fā)給進(jìn)口商〔買主〕的。然而shippinginstructions那么是“裝運須知〞，是進(jìn)口商〔買主〕發(fā)給出口商〔賣主〕的慎重處置合同的關(guān)鍵細(xì)目

實際證明，英譯合同中容易出現(xiàn)過失的地方，普通來說，不是大的陳說性條款。而恰恰是一些關(guān)鍵的細(xì)目．比如：金錢、時間、數(shù)量等。為了防止出過失，在英譯合同時，經(jīng)常運用一些有限定作用的構(gòu)造來界定細(xì)目所指定確實切范圍。如：

byandbetween

常用byandbetween強調(diào)合同是由“雙方〞簽署的，因此雙方必需嚴(yán)厲履行合同所賦于的責(zé)任。

買賣雙方贊同按下述條款購買出賣以下商品并簽署本合同。
