首先:In respect of;in respect thereof;with respect to:as regards 涉及,至于,在…方面
英文合同翻译中常用 in respect of, in respect thereof 或 with respect to, 表示与本合同/协议/条款有关的问题,比 about, concerning, as regards 正式。
例如:Notwithstanding Clause 16.1, Party B shall not be entitled to claim for itself in respect of any Force Majeure in Clause 16.1.
不管 16 条第一款的规定,乙方无权根据 16 条第一款为其自身提出有关不可抗力的索赔。
例如:Upon the termination of the Existing Letter of Credit and the payment of all amounts (if any) owing in respect thereof, Bank Boston, N.A. shall cease to be an Issuing Bank hereunder.
现有信用证一经期满所有相关应付款项支付(如果有的话)即告终止,北美波士顿银行不再是该信用证项下的开证行。
例 如 :Party C or New Company shall retain all rights with respect to the specifications, plans, drawings and other documents and Party B undertakes not to disclose the same or divulge any information contained therein to any third country without the prior written consent of Party C or New Company.
丙方或新公司应保留有关说明书、计划书、图纸和其他文件的所有权利且乙方应承诺未经丙方或新公司事先书面同意不披露上述文件或泄露上述文件所包含的任何信息给第三国。
此外,Pertaining to, pertaining thereto 也表示“涉及,与。。。有关”。
例如:Broker is in the business of brokering real estate loans and engages sales representative to perform services pertaining to such business.
经纪人是在房地产贷款经纪业务中聘用销售代表进行有关该业务的服务。
关于金额方面:SAY, ONLY
英文合同翻译中,为明确金额的数量,小写金额之后,在括号内用大写文字重复该金额,在大写文字前加上
“SAY”,意为“大写”;在最后加上“ONLY”.意思为“整”。当然,小写与大写的金额数量要一致。
例 如 : Party A shall pay Party B a monthly salary of US$600 (SAY SIX HUNDRED US DOLLARS ONLY). 聘方须每月付给受聘方美元 600 元整。
最后:In favor of:in one’s favor 表示以。。。为受益人。
例如:One original and one copy of the irrevocable letter of guarantee issued by the Licensor's Bank for a sum of 10% of the total price for the technical know-how in favor of the Licensee.
由许可方银行开具以被许可方为受益人,金额为专有技术总价 10%的不可撤销保函正本和副本各一件。
又如:We hereby establish this irrevocable letter of credit in your favor for account of ABC Company in the amount of U. S. $ (amount in words), available against your draft(s) drawn at sight on Credit Bank, N.A., Letter of Credit Department, Los Angeles, California, accompanied by your signed and dated statement as follows:
