描述商务英语的合同语言

商务英语 一、力求严谨，明白无误： 1 、 The following documents shall be deemed to form and be read and construed as an integral part of this Contract. 下列文件应被认为、读作、解释为本合同的组成部分; 2、This Contract can only be altered, amended or supplemented in accordance with documents signed and sealed by authorized representatives of both parties. 本合同只能按照双方授权代表签名盖章的文件进行修改或增补; 3、All activities of ABC Co. shall be governed by the laws, decrees and pertinent rules and regulations of China. ABC 公司的一切活动必须受中国的法律、法令和有关规章条例的管辖。 二、多用主动语态，少用被动语态： 1、Party B is hereby appointed by Party A as its exclusive sales agent in Singapore. (不宜) 乙方被甲方委托为在新加坡的独家销售代理商; 2 、 Party A hereby appoints Party B as its exclusive sales agent in Singapore. (适宜) 甲方委托乙方为在新加坡的独家销售代理商; 三、多用现在时，少用将来时，尽管很多条款规定的是合同签订以后的 事项： 1 、 Licensee may terminate this Contract 90 days after a written notice thereof is sent to Licensor upon the happening of one of the following events： 当有下列事件之一发生，被许可人提前 90 天向许可人发送书面通知后， 可以终止合同： 2 、 Licensor becomes insolvent or a liquidator of Licensor is appointed; 许可人无力偿付债务或其破产清算人以被指定; 3、The patent described in Article 2 is not issued within 30 days from signing this Contract; and 第二条规定的专利未在签约后 30 天之内发布; 4、Licensor fails to perform its obligations under this Contract. 许可人未能履行其合同义务。 四、直接表达方式用得多，间接表达方式用的较少： 1 、 This Article does not apply to bondholders who have not been paid in full. (用得少) 本条款不适用于尚未全部偿付的债券持有者。 2 、 This Article applies only to bondholders who have been paid in full. (用得多) 本条款只适用于已全部偿付的债券持有者。 五、尽量使用一个动词，避免使用“动词+名词+介词”的同意短语： 1、Party A shall make an appointment of its representative within 30 days after signing the Contract. 甲方应于签约后 30 天内指派其授权代表。宜用 appoint 代替 make an appointment of. 2、Party A will give consideration to Party B’s proposal of exclusive agency. 甲 方 愿 意 考 虑 乙 方 独 家 代 理 的 建 议 。 宜 用 consider 代 替 give consideration to.
