沈陽翻譯公司：看懂英文合同的法律必備詞匯
例句：
This contract is made this 19th of February,2014 by WFX Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Sellers"）who agree to sell and HK Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Buyers"), who agree to buy the following goods on the terms and conditions as below.
本合同由WFX公司（以下簡稱"賣方"）與HK公司（以下簡稱"買方"）于2014年2月19日訂立，雙方同意按下述條件買賣下列貨物。
The deposit paid by the Buyers shall not be refunded if the Buyers fail to make full payment within the time herein specified and the Buyers shall be liable for all losses incurred therefrom to the Sellers.
如果買方在規(guī)定的時間內(nèi)未付清貨款，買方的保證金將不予退還，而且買方應(yīng)承擔(dān)賣方由此產(chǎn)生的一切損失。
在翻譯古體詞的時候，應(yīng)根據(jù)本意及上下文靈活掌握釋義。例如在此例中， herein可以不必譯出?；虿捎脻h語的文言詞例如"茲"、"之"、"鑒于"、"特"等進行翻譯。
IN WITNESSTH WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed this Contract by their authorized representatives as of the date first above written.
茲特由雙方授權(quán)的代表，于上述首開日期簽署本合同為據(jù)。
此例中的"IN WITNESSTH WHEREOF"意思是"作為協(xié)議事項的證據(jù)"，是格式化的合同語言，類似采用大寫形式的還有：IN CONSIDERATION OF(考慮到，以為約因）、WHEREAS (鑒于）、IN THE PRESENCE OF (見證人）、NOWTHEREFORE(特此、茲特）、NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS(茲特立約為據(jù)）。
當(dāng)然，類似這樣運用大量"古體詞"的句子在任何一本英文合同里都可以找出上百句來。于是我們整理了這么一個列表，如果將下述詞匯全都理解透，相信各位一定會對法律英語有進一步的了解，至少能更順利地閱讀法律文本。
