商務英語合同常用特殊用語

一、WHEREAS 鑑於

正式而重要的合同,尤其是英美法系的合同,多用它在前文中引出簽約背景和目的`,起連詞作用:

WHEREAS the Employer is desirous that manpower can be rendered available for the construction of High-Rise Residential Complex in Baghdad, Iraq;

鑑於僱主欲請勞動力建造伊拉克巴格達的高層住宅綜合大樓;

WHEREAS the Contractor is desirous to provide the manpower for the Works;

鑑於承包人想爲此工程提供勞動力;

二、WITNESS 證明

在合同前文中常用作首句的謂語動詞:

This Agreement, made by

WITNESSES

WHEREAS……, it is agreed as follows:

本協議由……簽訂證明:鑑於……特此達成協議如下:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF 作爲所協議事項的證據,該短語常用於合同的結尾條款:

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Contract in duplicate by their duly authorized representatives on the date first above written.

作爲所協議事項的證據,雙方授權代表於上面首次寫明的日期正式簽訂本協議一式兩份。

三、IN CONSIDERATION OF 以……爲約因/報酬

約因是英美法系的合同有效成立要件之一,沒有則合同不能依法強制履行。但是,大陸法系的合同則無此規定。

Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein, contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

茲以上述各點和契約所載條款爲約因,訂約雙方協議如下:

In consideration of the payment to be made by Party A to Party B, Party B hereby covenants with Party A to complete the building in conformity with the provisions of the Contract.

四、NOW,THEREFORE 茲特

此短語用於WHEREAS條款之後引出具體協議事項的常用開頭語,並與其後hereby的結合。如果無HEREAS條款,則本短語可省略:

NOW, THEREFORE, it’s hereby agreed and understood as follows;

茲特協議和諒解如下:

NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS 茲特立約爲據,本句話也是用於WHEREAS條款之後引出具體協議事項。

五、PRESENTS = the present writings 是主語,WITNESS是謂語:

NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS that it is hereby agreed between the parties hereto as follows:茲特立約爲據,並由訂約雙方協議如下:

六、IN THE PRESENCE OF 見證人

本短語只在有見證人時使用—在訂約雙方當事人簽名的下方由見證人簽名作證,一般是相關的律師(Attorney)或公證處(Notary Public):

IN THE PRESENCE OF the parties hereto have hereunder set their respective hands and seals:

作爲協議事項的證據,訂約雙方各自簽名蓋章如下:
