1、合同英译中容易混淆的词语 英译商务合同时,经常由于选同不当而寻致词不达意或者意思模棱两可,有时甚至表达的是完全不同的含义。接下来,我给大家打算了合同英译中简单混淆的词语,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。 合同英译中简单混淆的词语 因此了解与驾驭极易混淆的词语的区分是极为重要的,是提高英译质量的关键因素之一,现把常用且易混淆的七对词语,用典型实例论述如下: shipping1 advice 与 shipping instructions shipping advice 是“装运通知”,是由出口商(卖主)发给进口商(买主)的。 然而 shipping instructions 则是“装运须知”,是进口商(买主
2、)发给出口商(卖主)的。另外要留意区分 vendor2(卖主)与 vendee(买主),consignor(发货人)与 consignee3(收货人)。上述这三对词语在英译时、极易发生笔误。 abide4 by 与 comply with abide by 与 comply with 都有“遵守”的意思.但是当主语是“人”时,英译“遵守”须用 abide by。当主语是非人称时,则用 comply with 。 例 3:双方都应遵守/双方的一切活动都应遵守合同规定。 Both parties Shall abide by/All the activities of both parties s
3、hall comply with the contractual stipulations. change A to B 与 change A into B 英译“把 A 改为 B”用change A to B,英译“把 A 折合成/兑换成 B”用change A into B,两者不行混淆。 例 4:交货期改为 8 月并将美元折合成人民币。 Both parties agree that change the time of shipment to August and change US dollar into Renminbi. ex 与 per 源自拉丁语的介词 ex 与 per 有各
4、自不同的含义。英译由某轮船“运来”的货物时用 ex,由某轮船“运走”的货物用 per,而由某轮船“承运”用 by。 例 5:由“维多利亚”货轮运走/运来/承运的最终一批货将于 10 月 1 日抵达伦敦。 The last batch5 per/ex/by S.S. "Victoria" will arrive at London on October (S.S. = Steamship) in 与 after 当英译“多少天之后”的时间时,往往是指“多少天之后”的准确的一天,所以必需用介词 in,而不能用 after,因为介词 after 指的是“多少天之后”的不准确的任何
5、一天。 例 6:该货于 11 月 10 日由“东风”轮运出,140 天后抵达鹿特丹港。 The good shall be shipped per M.V. "Dong Feng" on November 10 and are due to arrive at Rottedaml in 140 days. (M.V.= motor vessel) on/upon 与 after 当英译“……到后,就……”时,用介词 on/upon,而不用 after,因为 after 表示“之后”的时间不明确。 例 7:发票货值须货到
6、支付。 The invoice6 value is to be paid on/upon arrival of the goods. by 与 before 当英译终止时间时,比如“在某月某日之前”,假如包括所写日期时,就用介词 by;假如不包括所写日期,即指到所写日期的前一天为止,就要用介词 before。 例 8:卖方须在 6 月 15 日前将货交给买方。 The vendor shall deliver the goods to the vendee by June 15.(or: before June 16,说明含 6 月 15 日在内。假如不含 6 月 15 日,就译为 by Ju
7、ne 14 或者 before June 15。) 扩展:职场上如何Say Good-Bye 会话篇 Section A Steven: Well. I have an appointment now. Lily: Im in quite a hurry too. Steven: Good to see you. Goodbye. Lily: Goodbye.
